Thread: Searching Cormack Family

  1. #1

    Default Searching Cormack Family

    I have been doing research on the Cormack family who came from Keiss, Caithness. I have found them in census' but no where else. My grandfather John Sutherland Cormack was born in Keiss on 10 February 1882. His parents were William Cormack (born 1847 in Wick) and Alexandria Sutherland (born 1851 in Lutheron) marriaged in Edinburgh 19 November 1879. They had 6 children: William, Alexander, Margaret, John Sutherland, George, and Jessie (she may be adopted). My great great grandparents were William Cormack (born abt 1806 in Wick) and Janet Elder (born abt 1815 in Wick) had 8 children: Alexander, John, William, Janet, James, Isobella, Ann, and George. I am seeking to find anyone working on the same line or desendants of this line. I am also seeking actual dates so I can develop a better history for my family. If anyone can assist me in this area I would muchly appreciate it.

    Default More Cormacks

    Hello,

    I think I may have some links.....

    I have Janet Cormack b. Wick 1841 she had 2 sisters (could be more), they were Jean b. Wick 1844 and Alexina (Alexandrina?) b. Wick 1841.

    Their parents were William Cormack b. 1821 and Alexandrina Sutherland b.1881.

    Alexina (b.1841) married William Manson (b. Wick 1839) in Ackergill, Wick in December 1865. They had one child (that I have found so far) called William

    Alexina is my gg grandmother through the female line of my family.

    I would be interested to see what other information people have - if you think they are the same people and if you go back even further.

    Please feel free to email me - Tinacowan@tiscali.co.uk

    Thanks

    Tina
