Gunn family
« on: Tuesday 06 October 09 19:09 BST (UK) »

We are looking for information on the family of Alexander Gunn who was born in Caithness Scotland in 1805/6. He was a fisherman/boat builder; married to Christina in Thurso in 1842.

One son, William, moved to Wales around 1875.

Any information would be appreciated
