Tricia unfortunately the spouses aren't mentioned  :(

For George the Innkeeper, (d. 1859) the informant is James Phimister, his son.

For George the Fisherman, (d. 1858) the informant is John Phimister, his brother.



James, Phimisters stop with Isabella for me once she became a McKenzie :)

Was only a thought, as I'd seen a stone in the Thurso cemetery.
Took around 40 pics there.

YAY  ;D
I finally found the death cert of Isabella McKenzie (Phimister). Sometimes it's as much as
the details you leave out as the details you put in that helps turning things up.  She died in 1894

Her parents were George Phimister and Alexanderina Wares...so I've finally figured
out the right George.  Am just sorting through some of the other details you
posted previously Tricia...bedtime on this side of the world though!

Couldn't sleep....decided to use up my Scotland online credits instead ;)

Quote
George PHIMISTER,1790 -1859  was son of George PHIMISTER ( - ) and Christian BREMNER ( - ), was a Farmer/Innkeeper
Alexandrina WARES, 1791 - 1873    was daughter of James WARES (1761-aft1841) and Isobel GRAY ( -bef1841),

Tricia on the death certificate I found for Alexandrina WARES, (d. 9.1.1873, Wick) her parents are given as James WARES and Ann BREMMER or BREMNER...no Isobel Gray.

This is too confusing. ::)  :)

When i was a boy in Wick there was a family called Phimister who had a large shop in McArthur St. this was in the 1940's and possibly the early 50's but I know little else abot them. the shop then became a Co-operative Haberdashery

James
It seems to run in my mind that some members of the Mcnab family came into this somewhere but would have to check
