I have some info on my wifes family (Cormack) they originated from Caithness. Her GG Grandfather moved first to Wales and then back to Glasgow in the late 1800's. If anyone is researching the Cormack Family I would be interested to hear from them. :Razz

I don't know if this is of any help or use, but I had a great uncle James Meiklejohn Miller, born in Wick, Caithness in 1883. He married Janet (Jessie) Manson. She was the daughter of Sinclair Manson and Catherine Cormack. If this is of any use, let me know. I have some hsistory on the children, etc.
Good luck.

I have Cormacks in my family.

So far I have found an Alexandrina Cormack born in 1845. She was married to William Manson 22/12/1865 (William was born in 1839).

I believe Alexandrinas mother was Alexandrina Sutherland and her father was William Cormack but I have no more details than that.

Are we linked?
