Thank you. I found this info on Magnus Gorrie, born 1709 or 1711...on Wikitree and My Family Search sites. Elspet Flett is mentioned as his wife. Also I believe I have a another source ...I'll look about for it.
Yes this is Magnus's son John his wife was Elspet Bress/Brass. Magnus born abt.1709 may have been married to Elspet Flett...John is only son, I have seen another tree with a Alexander listed as son as well.

Is it possible this is where you saw mention of 'his wife'?

Which appears to be son John b 1737

Yes I know thank you. I research all the clues I can of course. I certainly welcome any additional thoughts you may have. I have already searched the baptisms and marriages where I could. Kind Regards

Looking for Magnus Gorrie b.1711, in Stromness, Orkney Islands, Scotland Does anyone have info on his family father/mother? He was married to Elspet Flett. I am hoping to see how far back the Magnus name is used in our family. Thank you in advance.
