Kenneth Sylvan Guthrie's family

I find from Google books that A.H.Miller, Haunted Dundee, 1923, p.54 discusses Guthrie's family; unhappily I cannot access this. If anyone can, please update the page. It describes K.S.Guthrie as the second son. Roger Pearse 22:44, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Reply to your query:
Hello!
KSG was my grandfather. He was the second son, older son was William Norman Guthrie, I believe. What did you want to know about KSG's family? Did you know that he was the grandson of Frances Wright, a 19th century social reformer? I'm not familiar with the book you mention.
For my part, I would love to know how you learned of KSG and why.
Best Regards,

I run a website containing a collection of translations of works by the church fathers, with occasional non-Christian works relating to them. Among these were works by Porphyry, and so I came across KSG's translation. From this I learned something of the man, and acquired a number of others, all very obscure, some of which I scanned and uploaded. Unfortunately others that he did are very bad; almost unreadable; which means that uploading them is not really worth the effort. The ones that are in print are the better ones, often where he had a French translation to guide him. Do you by any chance have a photograph or photographs of him?
