Hello again,

As noted in reply #8 William Sinclair and Mary Coghil/Coggill had a son called George (born in 1806, Wick, Caithness) however, to date, I have been unable to confirm whether this is the George I am looking for.

Can anybody tell me whether this George immigrated to New Zealand or elsewhere? From what I can gather he seems to disappear from Scottish records. Also, would it be possible for me to access Scotland’s newspaper archives from NZ? And if so, how might I go about doing this?

Many Thanks

There are some newspaper archives online, but not usually freely available like Trove.

The British Newspaper Archive https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/ is probably the biggest but it's not free - you need a subscription either to FindMyPast or to the BNA itself (I think).



Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
