I will send you the latest book which was published about the massacre at
Gudsbradsdalem.

There were certainly survivors.  All the officers except Colonel George 
Sinclair
survived.  His wife, Lady Sinclair, and her child survived.  When the child 
died,
she adopted a Norwegian baby.

When I can put my hands on the relevant papers, I will get back to you.
