CHARLES JOHN DUNLOP, of the Inland Revenue
Service at Chatham, County of Kent, is of Scotch extraction. He is a son
of Charles John Dunlop, a prominent advocate of Montreal, and traces his
descent back through a long line of the Lairds of Dunlop to the middle of
the 13th century, while on another side he can claim kinship
with the families whose names are closely connected with Scotland’s wealth
of romance and song.
