Unfortunately not the same man. I know the inkwells. They were owned by my grandmother. Rev. Robert Thom, MA lived in Clatt near Aberdeen as a child. He emigrated to Australia. I'm looking for information to fill in the gaps of my knowledge about his life in Scotland and his early days in Australia.
