"W.K.L (William Kennedy Laurie) Dickson was born in 1860 in Minihic-sur-Ranse, France to an English father and a mother from Scottish descent."

Shouldn't Dickson be described as Anglo-Scottish? His mother doesn't sound very French at all:
"His father, James Waite Dickson, was an artist, astronomer and linguist, claiming direct lineage from the painter Hogarth, and from Judge John Waite, the man who sentenced King Charles I to death. A gifted musician, his mother, Elizabeth Kennedy-Laurie Dickson, was related to the Lauries of Maxwellton (immortalised in the ballad Annie Laurie) and connected with the Duke of Athol and the Royal Stuarts."
