Here is the details on the 1881 Census for Wm. Brock and family:

Fred,
Yes she was a Miller, her name was Catherine Miller. We got that along with the Name Donald Brock as his father off of the Death Certificate. I want to find an additional source for this information because the Death was registered by 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 and tie them all together.
Any insite you may have on this subject would be greatly appreciated?

Hi
I am new to the forum, is it possible to look at the inscriptions by surname?
If so I am looking for James Ferguson born about 1790. His marriage is transcribed as Farquharson. His death would be in Thurso or Wick between 1820-25.
Many thanks

Thank you very much for replying so quickly unfortunately it is mine. this is the info I have
James Ferguson/Farquharson married 1816 Wick
Catherine Horne
I have found a Catharine Horne marrying in 1825 and wondered if James had died as can't find him anywhere. If so it would be after birth of last child 1820

Donald MATHESON died 26 Nov 1826 Lairg.
Nathaniel POLSON died 18 Apr 1870 in Parish of Stornoway
Alexander POLSON died pre 1841 possibly in Kildonan area born c1770
and finally
Margaret ROSS nee POLSON died 24 Jul 1877 in Pultneytown
With much thanks

There's only Pultneytown in Caithness and 1877 is a little late for the Monumental Inscriptions which mainly covers pre 1855 inscriptions. After 1855 deaths had to be registered so people can get a copy of the death certificate.Quote:

Hi Again
Would it be possible for you to check for some of the following individuals all of Wick Caithness, I am not sure if the dates are too early or if the information I have is too vague:
Finella COGHILL (wife of John ROSS) born 1735 Thuster Wick is the daughter of William Coghill and Margaret Sutherland.
Also
John POLSON and Margaret MULLIKEN married 1760 in Wick. Death dates unknown.
With thanks
