Shown as 'Executor of Lambie' for the Friendship estate in St Thomas-in-the-East, but more likely to have been a representative of the heirs of the co-owner of Friendship, Charles Irvine. The other three men in the same capacity in the claim (John Robert Skinner of Edinburgh, Robert Alcock of Aberdeen and William Skinner Bishop of Aberdeen, each of whom q.v.) are identifiable as resident in Scotland.
One of the executors of Charles Irvine was his niece Helen's husband John Henderson. John and Helen had a son, William Irvine Henderson, baptised 10/10/1792 in Aberdeen.
