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.

I have some Mansons but not very many.
Christina Manson b. 20 Dec 1777 in Caithness (Independent??) and baptised 26 Dec 1777. She married William Geddes in 1801 in Canisbay and died 1859 in Australia.
Margaret Manson married William Geddes, son of William and Christina in 1823. She died in 1857 and was buried in Canisbay.
Janet Manson married William Geddes, son of William Geddes and Margaret Manson.
Margaret Manson was born 1930 in Thurso, married to Neil Mowat. They moved to Canada before 1955.

I have copy of a page from the Thurso register that has a William Manson of Pennyland near Thurso witness to the proclamation of marriage of my 3x great grandfather William Shearer in 14 Nov 1795. WS was overseer to the laird Capt James Sinclair of Holburnhead . So I presume WM is a gentleman of standing in the community.
On the same page of proclamations one witness to marriage of Alex Reid , weaver, and Mary Munro is Mr John Manson , saddler and another entry has a Mr Manson of what looks like Borrowston as witness to marriage of Alic Cormack, shoemaker in Forse and Jean Mckay of Borrowston.
