Cormack Ancestors - Roadside, nr Wick Caithness

[Tricia]

I have Cormack from Caithness - like so many others in here.
My earliest direct line is Magnus Cormack b c 1717 in Orkney and he moved to Caithness where he had a son Magnus my 4 x g grandfather.
Many of the family moved south to various parts but I can't help further.

here is a page with Caithness and Orkney Cormack births. http://www.cursiter.com/txt-exe-files/Cormack.txt there is also one with Marriages . http://www.cursiter.com/txt-exe-files/Cormamar.txt I note there are some early marriages of John to a Janet/Jane. pre 1730... just a thought!

Hello Tricia

Thank you for replying to my inquiry. I will certainly explore the Cormack birth and marriage sites you have highlighted. My 5th Great Grandfather would have been born around 1740 and married around 1760. It is interesting that your ancestors originate from Orkney. My great grandfather (born 1846) married Mary Ann Sutherland in 1868 in London. However, Mary Anne's grandfather and great grandfather were both born in Stromness in Orkney(1788 and 1766 respectively) but died whilst living in London. If I have no luck researching in Caithness then I might extent my research to Orkney. I will keep you posted.

Many thanks for contacting me

Kindest regards

David
