John Lyall
« on: Friday 23 April 21 23:19 BST (UK) »
John Lyall born 1815 Caithness to Benjamin Lyall and Elizabeth Simpson.
Think it is him as a teacher 1841.
1851 census is what I would like to know, a John Lyall with wife Johan McIvor, is this John a teacher at all and born abt 1815?

I think this is the couple in 1851 in Thurso but John was a Grocer born in 1809 in Lawrence Rick, Kincardineshire

Lawrence Rick, Kincardineshire
That will be a mistranscription of Laurencekirk, Kincardineshire.
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.

Thank you, thought I may have to look out of Caithness.  He may even went to Canada or the U.S another possible outcome.
