It was while researching in the company’s journals, tracing the details of Magnus Twatt’s life - from his pay to the injury to his ankle when he tripped in a badger hole - that Foden found a fascinating reference.
On Twatt’s death in 1801, the records produced their one and only reference to a wife and family: they came to the settlement to return the dead man’s watch.

 Scotland's Lost Braves
As members of First Nation tribes gathered in Canada last week for the 125th anniversary of the signing of Treaty 6 - which created Sturgeon Lake Reservation - Yvonne and Carol were among those using the native Cree names they have adopted, and not the Scottish surnames that show their heritage.
"Our mother, William Twatt’s great-granddaughter, was a determined and practical woman who made sure we knew this was not her doing and she loved us," says Carol.
Harold, while assuming the tribal name of Kingfisher, has donned the Twatt family mantle and taken responsibility for upholding the rights of the reserve and its people.

 The Orcadian Features - Cree Cousins
Orkney woman, Kim Twatt (or Foden), who works at the Herald Printshop in Kirkwall, recently returned from a trip to Canada, where she was made an honorary Cree by descendants of one of her relatives, at the Sturgeon Lake First Nation in Saskatchewan.
The chance discovery that Magnus died in 1801, leaving a wife and children, probably native Indian, was to lead her halfway across the world in a search – ultimately successful – for his Cree descendants.
The fort today is in another location so, as a result, we were not looking at the exact buildings he would have seen but the layout and function of the fort were similar.

 Orcadians head to Canada for family powwow - [Sunday Herald]
And this summer, a group of Orcadians is to make the pilgrimage to the land of their common ancestors, where they are to be guests of honour at a powwow celebrating the centenary of the founding of Saskatchewan, an endeavour in which both parties, Cree and Orcadian, had a part to play.
While leafing through Hudson Bay Company documents, she discovered a reference to Magnus’s death, news of which was announced by “the arrival of Magnus Twatt’s two sons and their mother”.
While in Orkney, an invitation from the chief of the Council of Sturgeon Lake First Nation was issued to all Orcadians to attend the celebrations in July.

IAN TWATT played the hero role for East Lothian in the Garden County’s single-shot victory over Portobello in the Seniors League Cup match at the seaside venue.
The final reached a dramatic climax on the last end where the Twatt’s held three shots to gain a peel only to be denied an extra end decider when Oliver conjured up two draws to card a magic double for the title.
East Lothian’s visit to Porty earlier in the day resulted in a nail-biting 61-60 win with the match scales tipped by Twatt who carded the winning single from a brilliant last bowl turn out.

Then it stayed on the band's setlist for the Swiss and German parts of the Something Magic tour: at an early 1977 gig, presumably fearing that the piece would go down badly if it were not understood, Gary recited the story in German before the band performed it.
Gary Brooker remembers that TWatT was never performed in Britain, but the ensuing English tour did feature the piece, which was often badly-received (notwithstanding, or perhaps because of, its accompanying slide show, which Mick Grabham judged '...
TWatT did not make it across the water for the US leg of the promotional tour – by then in any case Dee Murray had been recruited on bass and TWatT would have been a tall order to learn in a short time.

 Sniff Petrol issue 63
Following the controversial case of a policeman acquitted of speeding and dangerous driving despite travelling at 159mph on public roads, it has emerged that yet more officers have completely broken the law and then been let off for no fucking good reason.
One such case involved PC Dave Twatt of Cheshire Constabulary who stole a car and then drove it at high speeds through the centre of Northwich, stopping briefly to score some crack before veering through a busy pedestrianised shopping street.
However, the court was told that as a crime prevention officer it was vital that PC Twatt "familiarised" himself with the methods of local repeat offenders and that this included theft, dangerous driving and the eventual arson of the stolen vehicle.
