Sir James STEEL Bart,

What follows is an extract from Burkes Peerage, Baronetage & Knightage

Sir James was the grandson of John STEEL & Mary Black of Summerside Cambusnethan, younger brother of John STEEL. I have found no birth record so far of these men and have traced them through death and cemetery records.

I will be posting his obituary here soon,
