Ann Isabella Ogg is the daughter of John Ogg, brother of Charles Ogg and both sons of Charles Ogg Senior. Isabella Ogg wife of Rev Spark was also sister to John and Charles Junior and therefore aunt to Ann Isobel.

Janet or Jessie Henderson the maid on the left, was probably married at this time to William Ritchie and lived at the Kirkton which was the farm just next to the manse.

Charles Ogg Junior the nephew of Isabella Spark was married to Elizabeth Forbes from Tombreck and later lived at Baltimore Farm the family home of Isobel.

In the next page there is a letter from Elizabeth Ogg nee Forbes and wife of Charles Ogg Jnr to Jessie Ritchie nee Henderson on the death of her mother Jane Murdoch in 1925.
