William Sinclair of Shorelands

[Lisa Robertson]

Hi folks! Wondering if anyone out there can help me! My great-grandfather was born, illegitimately, on 15th March 1892 in Wick. On his birth certificate he is initially named as William Sharp or Swanson (his mother being Catherine Sharp, nee Swanson, widow of the late James Sharp). There is an entry in the Register of Corrected Entries that cites William’s father as William Sinclair, farmer, of Shorelands. Does anyone know of the Sinclairs at Shorelands? Is there a William that might fit the bill? (I have a few more snippets of information about Catherine Swanson if that helps at all.)

Mny thanks,

Lisa
