This is exactly what I'm looking for.  Would appreciate a copy of the picture and who her children were if at all possible.  Thank you!

wow, I have not been able to find any sibling for Baikie or Frances. I know that Frances married a McKay and I have all their children. I have been to the cemetery in Orphir and have a picture of the headstone for Frances. Baikie is my ggrandfather. Now I have a new name to try and research. TY!

I don't think so!  My father did a fair amount of research on this before he passed away including the day to day activities in the HBC archives.  It appears it was only Elizabeth.

Where did they get the birth death dates for aelizabeth Swain??  Didn't Elizabeth perhaps die in 1857? ( and if so she was born circa 1812 ) I'm wondering if this may have been a second marriage for Bakie and even for her. Is there actual proof that Swain was the surname for all births?

Elizabeth and Bakie are my Great Great grandparents.  I have that family tree.  What I am looking for is information on Bakie's twin sister.  I know that research has been done and I would like to visit the burial site when I am in Orkney next June.  Any help would be appreciated.

Another pic, this is the geneolgy done by my fathers side (Sinclair) linking Elizabeth and Bakie to our lineage. I have other pics somewhere of the land scrips and census as well. I'll search  :)

That is the first Picture of Bakie I have ever seen!  My dad would have liked to have seen it.  I am traveling to Orkney next June 2017 and somewhere I read on this site a reference to Francis which would be my Great great Aunt. And where she is buried.  I would like to visit there.  Can anyone help me with information on her and her children.  Thank you!




I have these 2 photos that have surfaced. The first with the young man standing is Joseph Sinclair with the man seated being Bakie Sinclair,his father. The second is of Joseph in his elderly years with his granddaughter Nancy McKay.
