Hi i would be intrested to hear from any of the people mentioned in the title, from the Thurso area
My father is R W White, born in Thurso, his father was James White/Whyte who married Georgina Mackintosh(James worked in some of the hotels)...its Georgina's Tree i am doing at present.
thanks for reading
Kimmie
ok maybe a bit more info will help?
I have found out that Georgina MacIntosh's(my grandmother) mother was Catherine MacIntosh, known as Katie, Catherine's mother and father were Georgina Morrison and Neil MacIntosh.
Also some of the MacIntosh's had nick-names....maybe some of you know them instead?
Cuddles, Pudders, Chaplin and Bill does anyone remember any of them?
Cuddles died around 1958 died while poaching salmon....tried to open nets, but fell out the boat and drowned.
Hi Kimmie
Do you have any more info on Neil Macintosh and Georgina Morrison? I have a couple with the same names but they are from Kinlochbervie.
Kimmie, have posted pm to you
I think cuddles was my Mums uncle! Did he hit his head of the bottom of the boat? im sure thats the story i have heard.
I have also seen the grave stone for Georgina and James in thurso cemetry. The reason i remember it so well is that i am a McIntosh (plus my gran is Georgina), and im married to a James White too.
Im not great on the family tree, but i could try to find out for you...
Yes Georgina Morrison came from Rhuvoult Kinlochbervie, I dont know where Neil was born but they did marry in Rhuvoult Kinlochbervie.Quote:

Hi Kimmie

Also Cuddles (neil) had several brothers and sisters;
Kitty(known as Katie was my ggranmother), Neil(known as Cuddles), Jessie(emigrated to Canada), Hughina(bn1899), William (known as Bill), Hughina(born 1904 and married a Fraser),Angus (know as Pudders), James(known as Jimmy, see above) and Charles(known as chaplin)
I have most of their birth certs, but i am trying to find death certs...in particular, the death of the first Hughina( a second child named a same name in the siblings, usually means the first one died), but i cannot find any death records for either Hughina, or for Jessie...can anyone help me?
Have tried Scotlandspeople, but with no luck :~(

There was a White family in Back Shore Street if I recall rightly there was Violet, James, Angus and I think there was a handicapped girl, they moved away too Dahgenam? I think Violet and James will be in their late 60s Angus will be about 63now, I have not heard of them since they left Thurso.
Hi BobbyQuote:

Violet, June and Rolsline moved and still live in Barrow in Furness, Angus and Jimmy, both moved and still live in Bicester, which is where i was born!
Roderick is the eldest and is now 71, and Violet is now 67 i cant remeber the age of the others, but yes they are in their 60's.
I dont know about Snowy, or whos child he was/is....but in doing the family tree, it seems most of them was called neil (real name), Dad only remebers nicknames though.
How do you know them...being nosey now :lol:

Let me know if you need anything and I'll try my best to help or find someone who can.
Thanks Bobby thats great :D
I spoke to Angus, he said he was born in Springpark as was Rosaline, the others were born in shore street.
He is having trouble placing you and then told me it was a long time ago :lol: He did say he was planning to come up for a holiday next year, he hasnt been to Thurso since his dads funeral in 1977. I may come up with him.
Can you remember which school? and if there was a group school photo?
Angus McIntosh's nickname was Pudders, his daughter still lives in Thurso.
kimmie
Dont know if its any use to you but there are photos of Pudders Jimmy MacIntosh etc on www.wkboats.co.uk
PM
Thanks Peter
Yes i have already seen them, still witing for my profile to be approved by wkboats to chat to anyone in their forums though :(
but thanks again for reminding me :D
Hi Kimmie sorry I've not been in touch but have been without a machine (B- - - -y) thing packed in. I forgot there was another brother of Snowies he was Charles his byname I can't for the life of me remember what it was.Quote:

Thanks Thirsaloon
There were several McIntosh's brothers, and three of them were called Neil, two of the Neil's were nicknamed 'cuddles' and both drowned although for different reasons. no wonder this family is confusing :lol:
Cuddle's jnr is the 1938 drowning, which is the one my dad remembers, he didnt realise his brother was also called cuddles or that he had drowned earlier.
As for the other questions, yes they did originate from Kinlochbervie, and Angus was on the boats....Angus' daughter, is still in Thurso...so will contact her for more info.
Also there is a lovely lady called Ray, who is also connected to the Kinlochbervie side.
Dont you just love family trees, great way for being a private eye :lol:
hi Kimmie, I just found this site and I’m so happy. Jessie was my gran. She didn’t get as far as Canada, only Glasgow, where she died 14 No ember 1970. The brothers came down to Glasgow for the funeral but missed the service because ‘Glasgae’s built arse fer elbow’!She had 4 children, the eldest Georgina Morrison Ferguson, came up to Thurso a couple of times. She stayed in Glasgow. Margaret and Archie both got married then emigrated to Canada. My Mum was Helen, the youngest. She use to come up for holidays when she was young and was ages with Angus’ daughter Caroline who died young, and Angusina (Aunt Agnes’) daughter Isobel Duthie.Quote:
