I wonder if anyone could check the Watten, DUNNET, or CANISBAY Cemetery details and tell me if there is a record for
James Manson born  1756 or Christan GEORGESON Manson born about 1756 who died after 1851
... or any Mansons or Henderson who died around 1851 probably at Gersay, Watten, Caithness
I know their daughter Bel (born 1803 died about 1851) who married David Henderson, was buried in CANISBAY Cemetery, but wish I had the details for  the reference I  found in the index as HENDERSON I  CB8  339
 I am also curious about the other family nearby, esp:
MANSON C            CB8     339
MANSON J             CB8     339
MANSON M            CB8     339
MANSON S             CB8     339
Could anyone help me out with details, or in the Watten Cemetery show me the details for:
MANSON A             WA4     65,114
MANSON B             WA4     132
MANSON H             WA4     114
MANSON I              WA4     4
MANSON J              WA4     93,114
MANSON M             WA4     114
I hope to visit there on our trip this fall, so am also interested in the location of these graves as well ...

Hi all!

Tricia More, you recently posted this:

This is the grave of my 4x Great Grandparents, do you know if this means that their grave stone still exists in Watten Cemetery? I will be visiting Scotland from Canada for the first time 2 months from now and hope to visit their grave site. Thanks so much! It will be a short trip and I'll only have a day and a half in Caithness (spend 1 night in Wick) but I'd like to get the most out of it, as it will likely be a while until I return.

Also, if anyone is able to lend their expertise? I am also looking for the final resting place of the above Samuel Ross' parents: John Ross 1755-1855, Margaret Sinclair 1748-   ?   . Possibly died in Olrig/Watten/Wick?
