John Sinclair

I am looking for any information on John Sinclair ( whose son was George Sinclair born 1805 Reay married to Elizabeth Cameron born 1811 Reay). I think he married Helen Campbell?

I found this on Ancestry. 1841 census. You will see John here is married to Catherine But there is a son George, and an older woman , surname Campbell - could that be the mother of Catherine ?? What do you think ?? worth looking into, siblings of George etc. Good luck. Trinkie John Sinclair

If John was married to Helen Campbell , they were married in 1787 and had the following children. Donald 1788, Catherine 1790, William 1797, Barbara 1799, Donald 1803, George 1805, Elizabeth 1807. They were all born at Achvarisdale. I also found a burial record for a Catherine Sinclair in 1785 and one for a John Sinclair in 1790 both in Achvarisdale. They may be John's parents.

In the 1841 census George Sinclair and family are at Helshetter. ED1/page 5.

You will find all this information if you look on FreeREG and FreeCEN.
