As a favor to a friend I am attempting to trace his Manson, Rosie and Dunbar families. They appear to have intermarried many times through the years and I am hoping someone will be able to confirm what I am finding..or give me suggestions. The following is one branch of the Manson tree I think I may have correct:
James Manson ca 1748 m Margaret Sutherland. They had, all christened at Thurso: William 1768; Barbara ch 1770; John ch 1773; James ch 1776, Margaret ch 1779.
William (1768) m Christian Bruce 27 June 1795 at Canisbay. They had, all ch at Canisbay: James 1798; John 1800, Margaret 1802; Janet 1805, George 1807; Charlotte 1810 (May or June), Robert 1813; Alexander 1816; Sinclair 1819.
Charlotte (1810) married George Rosie on 12 Oct 1832 at Wick.
I also have the following:
Alexander Manson and Marion Thomson had the following, all ch at Thurso: Margaret 1776; Janet 1778; Donald 1781; David 1783;
Catherine 1786; Margaret 1789.
Donald (1781) married Elizabeth Sandison and they had, all ch at Thurso:
Alexander b. 1799; Mary ch 1802; Anne ch 1803; Elizabeth b.1806; Donald b. 1810.
Anne married Donald Dunbar 1826 at Thurso.
I have tried to follow the families through the 1841-1881 census' however I seem to be getting more muddled the further I go. Any help will be greatly appreciated. The Rosies are a story for another day.
