James Robieson married Margaret Sutherland in Wick in 1798 might be another possible "nevergiveup"
and on the 1881 census the David you are looking at is at Thurso and birthplace is given as Wick. His birth could be as early as 1829 according to the various ages on the censuses.

Hello John. Just come across your interesting thread and wondered if you have any info on Alsherson/Alexander family.
1 Donald Alsherson b 1703, sons Donald b 1730, William b 1740, Alexander b 1746 and daughter Isobel b 1755. This is a long shot but any info would be gratefully recieved.
Regards, George.

Burials in Dunnet Churchyard
Hi George,
No luck, I am afraid. Not many 'A' entries, only Allan (14), Anderson (2), Andrew (2) and Angus (1).
Regards, John

Hello John
Could you please look for the Shearer's in your documents?
Thanks Donald
-
Just wanted to extend my sincere (and long overdue - I've had quite a time trying to log back into my old account) thanks for you looking into my request. I suspect that the entry "mother of Donald 1817" could be my Isobel (Paterson) Jack. Strange that there was no entry for Edward Lyall (sometimes Leal) in 1826, he and his wife Margaret (Sutherland) Lyall are both laid to rest at Dunnet Cemetery. In your experience, the wives are listed under their married surnames right? Thanks again!

Hello John -
What a thoughtful offer. Could you look up Alexander Miller please? Crofter, Dunnet around about 1800 (?). Thank you, Jane
