Caithness / Re: Miller Family from Wick
« on: Wednesday 07 October 15 08:39 BST (UK)  »
My great grandmother was Jane Bruce Miller [b: 22.06.1885, d: 08.12.1957]. She was born in Craigston, Wick.

Her father was Murdoch Miller [b: 05.11.1841 in Olrig, d: 14.06.1908 in Wick] and her mother was Jane Oag [b: abt 1846 in Thurso, d: before 1909].

I have got back as far William Miller [b: 1776 d: 18.12.1862 in Howe, Wick]

I don't know if this any use.  I think I have much of the documentation and I am naturally more than happy to share what I have / know.

Ross & Cromarty / Re: 1797 RossShire Militia List
« on: Tuesday 06 October 15 13:14 BST (UK)  »
Hello there

Thank you so much for posting this.  I am interested in tracking down the lists of men serving in the militia in 1805. 

My 4th great grandfather was Donald Bain.  His son William's birth certificate of 13th May 1805 shows Donald as being a soldier in the Ross-shire Militia.  William's death certificate describes Donald as being a soldier in the 72nd Highlanders.

I am trying to learn more about Donald but, since his name is not a rare one, he's proving elusive. The clue about his military service is all I have.

If you can provide any information, I will be most grateful.
