    Hi George,

    Prior to 1855, you will find scant records of burials in the Old Parish Registers. Thomas's wife was recorded as a widow in the 1851 census and as the family were still in Watten in 1851 you could presume that he died there between 1841 and 1851. I have looked in the all the Caithness parish MI books and there is no record of a memorial stone for Thomas in any parish. One of the intrigues of genealogy is that the unknown keeps us searching !

    Hi Sally. Iwas making the search on behalf of my 4 x removed cousin in Vancouver. Thomas is not on my tree but is my cousins 4 x G. G. G. G grandfather on her fathers side. Thomas was originally from Lauder in Berwickshire and moved to Watten after he married. He worked as a joiner at Aukingill and died at the age of 47. He had 11 children one of whom was a daughter, Elizabeth born 1832. After his death his widow moved with all 11 children to Ontario in Canada.
    Hope thi helps in some small way.
    Regards, George.
