This is a work in progress.  I need to check on some dates such as the death of my father, Leonard Lyall and the birth and death dates of my grandparents.  This will be added soon.

I would like to find out more about early forebears of both sides of the family, ie, Lyall and Lillywhite.

My maternal grandmother's family, Bennett-Drysdale, were related to the Macarthurs of Merino sheep fame in colonial NSW and I would love to find out more about that link.

My maternal grandfather, Arthur Lillywhite, was originally from South Australia. We know nothing of his parents except that his father died when he was young, when they were working on farms around Cowcowing, Western Australia, he had a brother Gordon, and we do not know what happened to Gordon, his mother or his sister when their father died.

I have visited my father's ancestors (Lyall-Moffat) graveyards in Greenlaw and Polwarth, Scotland, in the borders area.  I have video footage and photographs of the headstones of the relatives in this family tree going back to the 18th century and I will upload these soon.
