ok maybe a bit more info will help?
I have found out that Georgina MacIntosh's(my grandmother) mother was Catherine MacIntosh, known as Katie, Catherine's mother and father were Georgina Morrison and Neil MacIntosh.
Also some of the MacIntosh's had nick-names....maybe some of you know them instead?
Cuddles, Pudders, Chaplin and Bill does anyone remember any of them?

Cuddles died around 1958 died while poaching salmon....tried to open nets, but fell out the boat and drowned.

Hi Kimmie

Do you have any more info on Neil Macintosh and Georgina Morrison? I have a couple with the same names but they are from Kinlochbervie.

[SMacG]

Kimmie, have posted pm to you

[honey]

I think cuddles was my Mums uncle! Did he hit his head of the bottom of the boat? im sure thats the story i have heard.

I have also seen the grave stone for Georgina and James in thurso cemetry. The reason i remember it so well is that i am a McIntosh (plus my gran is Georgina), and im married to a James White too.

Im not great on the family tree, but i could try to find out for you...

Thanks to a link from SmacG, I have seen a photo of Jimmy McIntosh (Cuddles brother)with his crew, one of the lads is called 'Snowy McIntosh', my dad remembers him, but I cant work out who he is or if he is connected with the tree...can anyone enlighten me please?

Also Cuddles (neil) had several brothers and sisters;
Kitty(known as Katie was my ggranmother), Neil(known as Cuddles), Jessie(emigrated to Canada), Hughina(bn1899), William (known as Bill), Hughina(born 1904 and married a Fraser),Angus (know as Pudders), James(known as Jimmy, see above) and Charles(known as chaplin)

I have most of their birth certs, but i am trying to find death certs...in particular, the death of the first Hughina( a second child named a same name in the siblings, usually means the first one died), but i cannot find any death records for either Hughina, or for Jessie...can anyone help me?
Have tried Scotlandspeople, but with no luck

Hi Kimmie,

Cuddles was drowned while out poaching the salmon nets below the lighthouse, he fell overboard and got tangled in the hang net. George was called Macca he had a painter & decorators business in Princes Street, Jimmy was called Toshie, and Snowy was a nephew of theirs.

There was a White family in Back Shore Street if I recall rightly there was Violet, James, Angus and I think there was a handicapped girl, they moved away too Dahgenam? I think Violet and James will be in their late 60s Angus will be about 63now, I have not heard of them since they left Thurso.

Hi Kimmie,
The Lassies were Margaret, Lena & Christine, As far as I know Christine is married in Glasgow, Lena was in Glasgow all her married life and she had 3 sons John, Angus and Edward, and retired back to Thurso where she sadly passed away a number of years ago, two sons are here Angus and Eddie, John is a policeman in Glasgow. Let me know if you need anything and I'll try my best to help or find someone who can.

[kimmie]

Thanks Bobby thats great

I spoke to Angus, he said he was born in Springpark as was Rosaline, the others were born in shore street.
He is having trouble placing you and then told me it was a long time ago He did say he was planning to come up for a holiday next year, he hasnt been to Thurso since his dads funeral in 1977. I may come up with him.
Can you remember which school? and if there was a group school photo?

Angus McIntosh's nickname was Pudders, his daughter still lives in Thurso.

Hi Kimmie sorry I've not been in touch but have been without a machine (B- - - -y) thing packed in. I forgot there was another brother of Snowies he was Charles his byname I can't for the life of me remember what it was.

All the best for Christmas and 2110.

Regarding the family mentioned above, is this the same Neil who was on the Eastward, he was from Kinlochbervie, Sutherlandshire

There was also a Neil MacIntosh Jnr who died in 1938. He drowned in Thurso Harbour aged 38.

I also know of Angus MacIntosh who co-owned the boat The Gannet and was coxswain on the lifeboat. He was also on the boats - Primula and the Solace.
