Midlothian / Edinburgh Royal Infirmary query
« on: Sunday 18 June 23 16:16 BST (UK)  »
I wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction. I have a lady from Caithness who died in ERI in 1925. She was not buried in her home location ,we have checked her husbands grave records so we wonder if she was buried in Edinburgh. Can anyone tell me who would have any record of what happened to her body after she left the hospital mortuary in 1925 ?? Would the council have grave records from 1925? 
All help welcomed
Many thanks

Sutherland / Thomson family Bakers Dornoch
« on: Thursday 02 March 23 09:15 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
I am trying to find out what the eventuall fate was of 2 members of the family of Henry Flett Thomson 1835-1907 and his wife and my relative Margaret MacKay 1835-1920 both born in Wick Henry was a baker in Dornoch. They had children William Helen Margaret and Christina.
The two I cannot find are William and Margaret.
William was born in 1857 in Wick, and the last I can find him is working as a butler in Deansgate Manchester in the 1881 census aged 24 After that nothing
Margaret was born in 1870 in Wick as well.
Margaret disappears from the Dornoch census after 1901 (Parish: Dornoch; ED: 1; Page: 12; Line: 22; Roll: CSSCT1901_13) After this I cant find anything about her.
Any thoughts ?? All help gratefully accepted

Caithness / Cameron family Reay
« on: Sunday 12 February 17 12:35 GMT (UK)  »
Hi This is a bit of an offshoot to something I was looking at previously. I have a Christina Cameron born approx 1806 in Reay. She married William McKay a cooper in Wick on 30Th Nov 1832. William died in 1860. They had 4 children William 1843 Alexander 1835 Elisabet(sp)1833 and Thomas 1846-58
I have found the family in the 1861 census
Christina McKay age 54. b. Ray. occ. fisherwoman. head.
Eliza McKay age 25. b. wick.occ. seamstress. daughter.
living at smith terrace,wick.   There is one possible match in Reay in 1871 but I cannot find her death certificate on SP which would tie her into the Cameron family in Reay .. Any one any ideas .. Many thanks
