View Full Version : Looking for John Oman re Caithness Omans
Trying to get in touch with John Oman who posted recently on the
edinphoto site with a comment about all the Caithness Omans being related.
Does he know something that I don't ?
If yours are Halkirk 1790's John please get back to me.

Just to let others know, John has replied.
George Oman was born in Wick in 1834. His uncles George ( b 1791) and Isaac Oman (b 1796) had a drapers and haberdashers on Wick High Street in the 1820's.
Nephew George moved to Edinburgh with his parents around 1840 and he became a professional photographer there which is why his name is on the edinphoto site. His father was a tailor and set up in business in Edinburgh dying at the ripe old age of 96 in 1895. Hardy folk they breed in Caithness :D
If anyone has information relating to George and Isaac I would love to hear from them.
