Title: James McPherson of Meikle Ferry
Post by: jk22 on Sunday 03 April 16 01:07 BST (UK)
Hello.
Would there be anyone that could shed light on this chap who is my great great great greatgrandfather.  Dates:  circa latter half of 18th century.  Wife and mother of his children, Catherine Munro.  One known son is William McPherson who left Sutherland - parish could have been Creich or Dornoch, and moved to Edinburgh, where he was a 'Jailer' and later became the deputy governor of The Bridewell Prison.  He died in 1857.  I have a fair bit on his 2 wives and their children.
Thanks,
JK
