  I can't help you I'm afraid :( however if you

  go to www.genuki.org.uk/big/sct/OKI/famhist.html
 
  there is a list of people who will help people with specific

  areas of Orkney. If you scroll down you will see the name of the

  lady for Stronsay. You can contact her by email.

  Hope this is of some help to you. Good Luck :)
