    I have been transcribing for FREECEN and FREEREG Caithness for the past 15 years and I would say that this is the same family. You have to remember that not all the scribes were 100% literate so often names were written as they sounded. Also, hand writing was very variable and the transcriber also has to cope with faded and damaged original documents.

    This is consistent with what I know of the family (I am Thomas's g-g-g-grandson, or thereabouts!) In addition it explains why we are so rare in the records - apparently none of us could spell!
