For William Miller and Ann Bain, as background which I am guessing you already have some (but helps to get it into my head
):
WILLIAM MILLER Marriages: ANN BAIN Marriage: 23 NOV 1805 Bower, Caithness, Scotland
Their children's births, mostly backed up by the OPRs:
1. Donald Miller Birth: 30 SEP 1806 Lyth, Bower, Caithness, Scotland
2. John Miller Birth: 02 MAY 1808 Lyth, Bower, Caithness, Scotland
3. George Miller Birth: 10 FEB 1809 Lyth, Bower, Caithness, Scotland
4. Andrew Miller Christening: 28 JUL 1809 Wick, Caithness, Scotland
5. Margaret Miller Birth: 17 APR 1811 Lyth, Bower, Caithness, Scotland
6. William Miller Birth: 22 SEP 1812 Lyth, Bower, Caithness, Scotland
7. James Miller: Birth 28 SEP 1814 Bower, Caithness, Scotland
This is the closest I can see on the 1841/51 Censuses for parents William (a farmer according to Andrew's DC) and Ann:
1841William Miller 63, farmer
Ann Miller 60
Barbara McKenzie 15, FS
Address: Howe, wick
1851William Miller 72, farmer, b. Bower
Ann Miller 72, b. Dunnet
Address: Ruthers Of Howe, Wick
No sign of a death for William post 1855 so hard to confirm parents' names. Ann Bain's death refs:
1863 MILLER ANNE LAING (mother's maiden name) BAIN 86 WICK LANDWARD /CAITHNESS 043/02 0030
Submitted details on IGI for Anne's parents:
Donald Bain Birth: About 1742 Bowermadden, Bower, Caithness, Scotland
Marriages: Spouse: Margaret Laing 18 JAN 1767 Bower, Caithness, Scotland
With William and Anne's children's naming order, you would think William's father's name would be John, sadly no daughters' names other than Margaret after Anne's mother. There are two possibilities showing on the OPRs:
1 13/03/1780 MILLER WILLIAM JOHN MILLER/ANE CORMACK FR 112 U Bower /CAITHNESS 034/ 0010 0189
2 06/09/1782 MILLER WILLIAM JOHN MILLER/HELLEN BAIN FR 124 U Bower /CAITHNESS 034/ 0010 0201
I'll stop there Frank, let you go through this and see if it connects with what you may have....I just wish Margaret Mckenzie was as straightforward!
Regards.
