Caithness / Mann/Mackay/Macleod families
« on: Friday 05 August 05 20:09 BST (UK)  »
Looking for any info on these families, probably in the Borgue area. Aware of a Colin Mann (c.1782) married to Janet Fraser (c.1793), think she was born in Thurso but his parents appear to have come from Nairn. Their daughter Jane Sinclair Mann (c. 1827, Thurso) married Donald Mackay (b. 16/04/1829). Their daughter Catherine (b. 19/01/1861 - my great grandmother) married Alexander Macleod. Would love to hear from anyone interested; we have some more info too.

Nairnshire / Stinson/Nicholson/Mckilican families, Nairn

Does anyone have any information on these families? We are aware of a Patrick Stinson (spouse unknown), father of Ann Stinson (c. 17/04/1710) who subsequently married a Jo Mann. Believe them to be from Ardclach area. Also aware of a William Nicholson who married Elspet McKilican in the Nairn area on 08/04/1716, their daughter Ann married a John Ellison.
William Mann - the son of Jo and Ann - married a Christian Rose in Nairn on 03/02/1764.  Their son John (baptised 07/031765 at Croy and Dalcross) married Isabella Ellison. Their son Colin Mann appears to have been born in Latheron, Caithness. Would be fascinated to find out more.
