Hoping to find some more information on the following (from my mother's side):
Alexander Dunbar Sinclair married Anne Swanson 2nd December 1870 at ?
Alexander Sinclair trained as a teacher and began teaching in 1861 at the age of 19 (or 20) in Harpsdale district school (North of Scotland). During the 1870s he also taught in various schools in the Tain district (and possibly in a school at Brough?) up until (?) when they moved to Shetland where Alexander took on the post of teacher in the Westing school on the island of Unst.
He and his wife had six children, William, Thomas, Alexander, Helen, Elizabeth and Henrietta Jane (my grandmother).
Would really appreciate any information on either of these two family members prior to their move to Shetland.
Hoping someone can help.
Many thanks
