Hi Susan,

Got the Sinclair Swanson family off IGI and the 1841-1871 census of Freecen.

Hi Becky

Not sure if this is at all relevant, but I have records of John Brock b. c1786 Caithness, m. Mary Ann unknown (Dunnett? Nicholls?).

Their children (all born Gt Yarmouth, Norfolk) were:
William Dunnett
Christiana Dunnett
Sarah
Jospeh Nicholls Dunnett
Isabella
George Dunnett
Charles Nichols Dunnett

Hi Meles,

Have nothing on the Dunnet family so far, can't pick them up yet on FreeCen, so don't know if they are connected.

Hi Susan,
Just to say thank you for the info. made contact on "GenesReunited" with a Dunnet descendent and managed to get up to 1871 census from "FreeCen".

Just leaves the Leith side to go.

QUOTE: Hi Susan,
Marriage of David Swanson & Jeannie Dunnet 1874.
Parents Sinclair Swanson & Christina Johnston (Farmer)and John Dunnet & Jessie Budge (can't make his occupation out maybe Hawker)
So IGI was nearly right.
Barry

Parents of  Jane(Jeannie)  Dunnet  -   
John Dunnet and Janet Budge m 1847
BUDGE   JANET   JOHN DUNNET/   F   DUNNET   36/00 0002

1841 Janet and siblings with her mother Christian Budge(mckay aged50)
1851 Janet on own with 2 children wife of an agric lanourer
1861 John b1824 & Janet b1827 have 5 children inc Jane(Jeannie) aged 7.
John's occupation given as Stone Quarrier & farmer.
1871 -  7 children and he is a  Hewer & Farmer 5 acres (dau jane not there). Think she may be Dairy Maid aged 19 at the Manse Dunnet.
1881 not sure -  but think children scattered and John a widow. Jane(Jeannie) of course married to David Swanson by this year.

My interests in this are from JOHNSTON and BUDGE relations to this family.

Hi Tricia,

Managed to pick family up on "FreeCen" 51-71, Hewer reads better than Hawker, will try for the 1841 census, some one has been busy with the Caithness census.

My interest doesn't really begin until David Swanson/Jane Dunnet, but finding the rest is interesting.

Barry.
A few years ago I exchanged data with a descendant of George Oliver - a son of John Alexander Oliver and Christina Johnston Swanson(m1909).
How do you relate to John & Christina?
Are you in UK?
