Ross & Cromarty / Re: Ships at any port close to Tain around 1869

It would be possible he came from Tain or close by. The information has been passed down from the past. The Capt McKenzie had come to get his girl (my gr grandmom May/Marjory McKenzie) from Chapel St in Tain and take her away with him on his ship, but her parents locked her in a closet and told him she was not going. She evidently was already pregnant with my grandfather. After 4 years she married Duncan Dewar. Wondering if other newspapers in the area were of earlier years. Perhaps if someone reads about this they may know of someone local around Tain that may have some ideas.
Thanks very much for all the help here!
