Sorry I have no connection with your family from Helmsdale. My husband's family ( Mackays) were from the west coast of Sutherland. Good luck with your search, Ray

Hi , You could try joining countysutherland (free), someone there might be able to help you. Another idea might be to send a letter to the postmaster/postmistress  at Bettyhill Postoffice. Sutherland. I remember Doris from schooldays in Dornoch..........she was a few years younger than me.

I know that Lily was an only child and she died many years ago.She must have given my fathers name as next of kin.He was told that because she did not leave a will, all her money went to the crown .He never questioned that statement.However he did get all her personal effects........a tatty old handbag containing a comb ,with teeth missing .A powder compact with a broken mirror.A cheap looking brooch and an empty coin purse.Big deal ! Thought I would give all you folks a laugh.Ray
