Hi All,

My G.Grandparents, George Alexander Douglas and Isabella MacKay lived at Manson Lane, Priv Ho, Blackheath, Thurso, Caithness according to the 1901 census. Would anyone know if this place still exists?

Thank you in advance,

Nairnshire / Cawdor Castle Information
« on: Friday 03 June 11 04:20 BST (UK)  »
Hi All,

Would anyone know if there are records available on people who worked at Cawdor Castle during the esarly 1900's? My Grandmother, Johan Rosie Douglas lived at Balloan farm of Miekle Geddes with her parents according to her marriage information of 31 December 1917. She is listed as a domestic servant. She used to tell the family that she worked in a Castle when she married my Grandfather Ovila Leduc, a Canadian Soldier during WWI. It would be interesting to find some records to confirm her employment as I am making an assumption that she worked at Cawdor Castle given its the proximity to Balloan Farm.

Thank you in advance.

Hi All,

I wonder if we can make a link with our ancestors from the Caithness area?

My Grandmother, Johan Rosie Douglas married my Grandfather Ovila Leduc on 31 Dec 1918 at Balloan Farm, Cawdor, Nairn while Ovila was stationed in the Cawdor area as a Canadian Soldier. Johan was born on 18 January 1900 at Blackheath, Thurso, Caithness, Scotland. They settled in Canada after the war.

Johan's parents were George Alexander Douglas and Isabella MacKay. George was born a twin to Patrick John Douglas on 12 June 1867 at Lyth, Bower, Scotland.
 
Their parents were Donald Douglas and Elizabeth Rosie. Donald was born in 1833, Halkirk, Scotland.

Donald's parents were George Douglas and Janet Mill. George was born in 1806 in Caithness, Scotland

George's parents were William Douglas and Ann Elder. I have no dates for them.

Donald's siblings, Ann, George and William emigrated to the Halton, Ontario Canada in 1862. Ann appears to have returned home to Scotland with her family before 1888.

Anyone out there have common ancestors?

Thanks,

Harold
