Hi
I am looking for relatives or anyone who could tell me more about, Jamesina Calder, who died in Tain in 1975. She was born in Caithness, but I don't know where or when, but possably in the Wick area? She married William Fraser from Fearn who died in 1948 aged 51. She then later married Andrew Munro known as Andrew Co. They lived in Tain at the time of her death. She was my gg gran, and I would love to find out where her family came from, and how she came to live in Ross-shire! Thanks

Hi

This is a bit daft - in the nicest possible way

'cos I think you only live about 2 miles away from me! I recognised the e-mail address that you gave on your R & C posting

Change the @ to [AT] by the way, it deters spam crawlers. You can modify your message by clicking on the modify button on the top right of your posting.

However, if you have any idea of the age when Jamesina died - or the rough age of her first child, I'll have a look on the Scotlands People site for you. I have some spare units that will go dormant if I don't use them soon.

I'll see what I can come up with. PM me if you like

Hiya,
You have got me stumped on who you might be, but if you got me right you must live near Amat!
So do email me and let me know who you are!
I have no idea when she was born. Her eldest child was Isabella Fraser born June 1921, so if she was 16 or older she had her, she must have been born 1905 or earlier. Thank you very much for you help. Shirley

Maybe there's another of you going around

That is unless Amat is an acronym

However I've found her first marriage and birth. I'll e-mail you with the details.
Must go and have my supper now!

Jamesina and William were married 21st Nov 1919 at Finlayson St, Fearn, R & C

Jamesina was born 5th October 1900 - 9.45 am, Louisburgh, Wick. Her mother was Ann Miller Calder, Maiden Surname McGregor, a domestic servant. On the record is written: "married to Benjamin Calder, labourer, who she declares is not the father of the child and with who she has had no communication since he deserted her in October 1891"

How sad, poor Ann

Think it's a bit of census/ BMD searching for you Shirley
