« on: Sunday 26 June 05 15:22 UTC (UK) »
Looking to trace G/Granfather listed in 1881/91/01 census for Durness in Sutherlandshire as Born in Halkirk, Caithness circa 1852. He was married to Agnes J Moffat , originally from Dunsyre in Ayrshire. I cannot trace any of his siblings. his parents are listed as Alexander Bremner and Jane Mackay.

Hi Lorna

Thanks for the info, I have been  stuck with this one now for quite a while. As Alexander married in Durness, which is at least 60 miles from where he may have originated,  there were no family connection witnesses on his marriage certificate which may have suggested a tie to a possible brother or sister. There are some 1871 census tie ups, unfortunately none tie up with his father, mother and himself at the same address anywhere in Caithness or Sutherlandshire.
