    Default GEORGE GUNN, b. THURSO 1815

    Hi

    George Gunn born in Thurso 26 November 1815 to parents William Gunn and Christian McLeod. I can't find any details on the parents in terms of marriage, census or birth and wondered if anyone could help.

    Thanks

    Default Census or Marriage Results - NIL

    Can't find any either. I also looked in Sutherland thinking they might have been from Reay/Durness/Farr.

    Only clue is that William was a joiner when George was born and the witnesses to his birth were Corbetts.
    There are no William's who are listed as joiners in the 1841 census.

    Thanks Mamie

    I already had that - George was also a joiner who moved south and then ran his own construction company. I just don't understand why I can't find their marriage or any census data on George prior to 1881!

    Thanks again for your help

    Still looking for any further information about George Gunn born in Thurso 26 November 1815 to parents William Gunn and Christian McLeod. I can't find any details on the parents in terms of marriage, census or birth and wondered if anyone could help.

    Does anyone know if there is there anything on geneology at the Clan Gunn centre ?

    Thanks
