Caithness Monuments Inscriptions
Hi
Where do you buy the above. I am in Australia have lots of ancestors on family tree from Caithness. I thought if I was able to get a copy it may help my research. Are they available on cd or in books. I am looking for Clynes, Millers, and hoped the above may help my research.
thanks for reading email

John and Janet married 8th Feb 1856 in Dunbeath when he was 30 and she was 24.
Johns parents were David Sutherland and Margaret Gunn, they married 16 March 1821
and lived at Achavroal Dunbeath.
Here is the 1841 census for the household:
District: 5 Folio: 0 Page: 8
Address: Achvroal
SUTHD. David M 44 Farmer Caithness
SUTHD. Margt. F 42 Caithness
SUTHD. Jane F 17 Caithness
SUTHD. John M 15 Caithness
SUTHD. Margt. F 13 Caithness
SUTHD. James M 11 Caithness
SUTHD. Donald M 6 Caithness
SUTHD. Jemima F 2 Caithness
In the 1861 census David and Margaret and their daughter Margaret still lived there along with a Mary 20 and a William 7.
William Brock and Janet Campbell
HI Mary, ED2005 and I are researching the same family. We did get William Brock's Death Record and it shows his parents. The problem I am having with it is the Death was registered one of his sons from the second marriage and I'm not sure that the information is accurate, since we can't seem to locate the people. Could you elaborate on the process that the registrar would have used to record a Death? Did he take the information from the person registering the death, which was the practice in the US, or would he have look the information up in the Birth and Marriage registers. The reason I ask this is that in William Brocks Death Record, it mentions both marriages and under Christian Ross's name it says "Illegitimate". I thought that was odd, I wouldn't think that the youngest son would be privi to that type of information about his mum, and figured that the Reigistrar got it from some where else. He also has accurate information about Williams 1st Marriage. Any light you can shed on this would be greatly appreciated.
William Brock and Janet Campbell
William Brock is the one I am questioning. I assumed that they didn't register his birth either because I couldn't find it on IGI. But I also couldn't find his parents Marriage on IGI Either. Which make's me wonder if they came from somewhere else. I thought the Marriage would have had to have gotten registered, but I am not as familiar with my Scottish historical customs as I should be. Was it a Law back then? I know in 1855 the law took effect and we have much better records as a result.
What could the possible explainations for this be? Why wouldn't they have registered the Birth or the Marriage? Was this common? Just looking for insite and background.
I've ordered the Monument Inscription Book 3 so I can look them up when I get it. I'll also have to see if there are any death on IGI.
Thanks for all your help.
