    That's very helpful, thanks! I have now certificates that show Rose Bremner (joiner) b 30.4.1807; parents Benjamin Bremner and Helen Nicol married 20.11.1794. But I havent been able to confirm when he was born and ancestry before that; he could have been one of 3 Benjamin Bremner born either on 2/8/1761, 30/01/1763, or 30/01/1763. Also looking for a common link to well known Civil Engineer james Bremner born 25/9/1784, who rebuilt the old harbour at pultneytown

    Default Useful website

    Have you looked at www.brebner.com?
    There are lots of family trees there, of various Brebner / Bremner lines in Caithness, including the engineer Bremner you mention.
    William Bremner, b~1849, son of Rose and Janet, married into my family, so have a bit of info on him if you need it.
