John Dunbar was the son of George Dunbar and Isabella Sutherland. Here is the 1841 census returns for three consecutive houses at Forse, John, his brother James and father George. I don't know if the Isabella listed is George's wife and the age is a mistake or if she is his daughter. The IGI have a listing for John born 30th Mar 1802 and James born 24th Aug 1805 but they are submitted entries not from the parish records so I don't know how accurate they are.Originally Posted by RONI
