There is a new forum site called Finding Shearers:
http://findingshearers.proboards.com/index.cgi

Just started so small as yet but might help you.

My Shearers: Thomas Shearer married Ursula Cooper. Their son Thomas Shearer (1794 - 1874) married Mary Cooper. Their daughter Isabella (1824 - 1915) married James Leslie. (Shearers were from Stronsay).
