My connection is through their daughter Ann. She married John Kemp from Kirkwall. One of their son's ,George Fodden Kemp, married a 1st cousin twice removed, who, when she died at a young age he then married her sister. They emigrated to Canada

Thanks akc for letting me know that William and Barbara were deceased - the prospect of Barbara being alive in 1864 really confused things! ::)

Could you please tell me the ages of William Bruce and Isabella, and William Jr and his wife Jane Taylor, just for completeness? As I mentioned previously I hadn't managed to find a DOB for Isabella, but thought it would be about 1829 based on 1841 census.

As I revisit the records I have so far on William Symison, I noticed that on one of the documents I have, that of the marriage registration of 1863 Barbara Symison to John McKinlay, her parents were described as William Symison, Tailor and Margaret Taylor - so the 1851 census reference to a Fisherman seems, well .. em ...fishy ...

Regards, M.
I have Barbara Symison, daughter of William Symison and Margaret in my tree.

Trying to find information about Margaret Louttit. Possibly born in Orkney. Married Robert Cummins Wilson sometime after 1894. They had a daughter, Louise born 1898. Margaret was Robert's second wife. She was a nurse. she is listed in 1911 census along with her husband at Port Arthur Ontario, Robert died in 1913. Margaret died in 1940.
Would like to know who her parents were.
