According to friends who live there, "Shipton" is the local pronunciation for Shipdham, certainly among older inhabitants.

Scotland / Re: Sir Hector Mackenzie - 4th Baronet of Gairloch - new son found.
« on: Friday 19 January 24 19:18 GMT (UK) »
Re reply #4: the passage quoted is taken from Leah Leneman, Alienated Affections: The Scottish Experience of Divorce and Separation 1684-1830 (Edinburgh University Press 1998), p.158. The superscript 3 at the end refers to National Records of Scotland cc8/5/23; Complete Baronetage 1665-1707 (Exeter 1904)
National Records of Scotland cc8/5/23 = Register of Consistorial Decreets 23 Jan 1795-22 Dec 1797

Sutherland / Re: Edward Mackay, fisherman,Durness
« on: Tuesday 24 October 23 10:20 BST (UK) »
Your post begs a great many questions and you need to provide more information if you want others to help you.
How do you know that Edward Mackay was a fisherman from Durness and that he was in Badcall Inchard in 1881? (These two places are quite far apart - opposite sides of the county, in fact.) Have you found Edward Mackay and/or Christina Horsburgh in the 1881 census or in any other censuses? (Censuses will give you their ages, marital status, occupations and birthplaces.) Have you looked for a possible marriage certificate? What were the names, dates and places of birth of their children? Where did you find the names of Christina Horsburgh's parents?
You can look on ScotlandsPeople (www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk) for help in answering these and other questions. It's a pay-per-view site, but modestly priced and you can download digital images of original documents instantly. (The indexes are free to view once you have registered.)
I hope this helps.

Argyllshire / Re: Edward W Jenkinson - Towards Castle
« on: Monday 02 October 23 14:49 BST (UK) »
You do in fact have access to the 1911 census record you seek. As Neale 1961 has pointed out (twice!), the 1911 Scottish census is available on ScotlandsPeople (www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk). It's a pay-per-view site, but modestly priced and you can download digital images of original documents instantly,
The 1911 census index (free to view once you have registered) lists Edward W. Jenkinson aged 22 living in Dunoon, Argyll. (Toward Castle is near Dunoon). The full record should give you his occupation and place of birth.
