Does anyone have any information on these families? We are aware of a Patrick Stinson (spouse unknown), father of Ann Stinson (c. 17/04/1710) who subsequently married a Jo Mann. Believe them to be from Ardclach area. Also aware of a William Nicholson who married Elspet McKilican in the Nairn area on 08/04/1716, their daughter Ann married a John Ellison.
William Mann - the son of Jo and Ann - married a Christian Rose in Nairn on 03/02/1764. Their son John (baptised 07/031765 at Croy and Dalcross) married Isabella Ellison. Their son Colin Mann appears to have been born in Latheron, Caithness. Would be fascinated to find out more.
