    [QUOTE=Tricia;298119]Thanks Val.
    That ties another twig in for me - apart from the Cormack Bain Budge relationship as my earlier message -
    James Robertson (b1835 to Donald Robertson and Barbara Simpson) married 10 Jul 1857 to Catherine Gair -
    their g'son James Robertson b Keiss c 1891 m Eliz Duncan 1919 in Inverness - she my 1C2R.
    Do you relate to the Robertsons!.

    In an earlier email Robyn mentioned Photo of Ann Taylor Herring Queen - do either of you relate to her family!


    Hi Tricia and Val
    Now I'm not sure where the Taylor's fit but it's in there somewhere! I've attached a photo of Betty Taylor - I would assume (not a good thing too do) that it is Alice Taylor's sister. The message on the back looks to have been written by Mary Bain to her nephews, my Dad and Uncle, and reads:

    "This is a photo of your Dad's (that's James) Cousin Cathie McKays her oldest girl she has four younger than this one all girls would like she had a boy

    her name is Betty Taylor"

    The one of Alice Taylor in the Herring Queen Photo Page is a newspaper cutting sent to James and his family. Dated 12 July 1938.

    Every little helps
    regards robyn

    Hi Tricia,

    Glad the info. added a little more to your tree.

    Robyn and I are 2nd cousins, both descended from Wm. Bain (1857-1907) & Mary Ann Mowat (1864-1932).
    Robyns Grandfather being James Bain (1891-1953) and My Grandmother being Catherine Bain ( b.1886), children of Wm. & Mary Ann.

    Alice Taylor (Herring Queen 1938) was Grandaughter of Elizabeth Mowat (1865-1924), who was our G. Grandmother, Mary Ann Mowat's, sister.

    Our G. Grandfather Wm. Bain (1857-1907) was half brother to Jane Bain (b.1872) who married Alexander Cormack (1869-1907).
    Alexander's sister, Isabella Cormack (b.c1870) married James Robertson (b.c1870)............so only related to James Robertson through half sisters & marriage !!!........ So far .I was intrigued as to who James was when he notified the deaths after the fishing disaster.

    I'd love to see a Caithness family tree evolve

    Hi Val
    didn't realise "Val" was you. The year has nearly gone. Terri has returned from Iraq and it's good to have her home safely. Will send you a copy of the magazine article of the Aus Army women in Iraq.
    luv robyn

    Hello Morven, I found this thread recently after my family history was researched by a local genealogist. George Green was also my great grandfather (x4). So far my family tree goes back to Duncansbay 1778. My grandmother was Margaret Bremner McPherson born 1913 in Wick. Kindest regards, Richard
