Mansons from Thurso
« on: Friday 22 April 05 19:42 BST (UK) »
I am trying to find the Parent of William Manson born 14 Oct 1810 in Thurso,he married Helen Mill 13 March 1830 also in Thurso.
This seems an impossible task due to the amount of Mansons in Caithness in particular in Thurso.I thought i had made a connection to a Donald Manson and Jean Gunn but their ages would have meant they had children at a very young age.
Anyone able to help?

Hi Moira, yes i tried them too, they are good i used them to trace the other half of the family lol
So far i think i have spent £18 trying to find William and his wife but no luck.
The William you found is my great great grandfather who later married Dorothy/Dorothea Thompson/Thomson.

I have also tried the LDS site with no luck mainly due to not having an approximate date of birth.They had such large families that it is possible they were older than i am currently estimating  Roll Eyes
I am sort of going by the previous generation for an approximate age if that makes sense.

Thanks for the reply.

Just thought i would let you know, i got a reply from my Dads cousin and she must have the patience of a saint lol

She sent me 10 pages of the Manson family tree, this includes all children,wives,husbands,dates of birhts,marriages and deaths.
I have now added another 300 people to my tree  Shocked

I knew they were a big family but i didnt think there were that many at this rate we will be related to half of Scotland  Tongue

My great grandmother Elizabeth Manson was born 7th February 1860. According to the information I have her mother died in childbirth, and her father was drowned before her birth in Caithness  so she was brought up by her grandparents in Thurso.  It was a very rural area where they spoke Gaelic.

I can't find the names of either Elizabeth's parents or grandparents . Can anyone find her on a Manson family tree , please.

Hi
I have Mansons from Thurso and Olrig in my tree most of my Mansons are married to other Mansons making it more complicated to match them up. Don't think they got out much.
