Alexander Cormack, son of Alexander Cormack and Jenett Sutherland, married Margaret Hunter and had a son James who married Christina Budge, daughter of Alexander Budge and Margaret Henderson. James was a master mariner and had several sons who also went to sea, and at least 2 maybe 3 died at sea. He persuaded his youngest son David not to go to sea and David became a solicitor. My family. James was Deputy Harbour Master at Wick and then Harbour Master at Wick after leaving his last ship.
So much of your research seems to tie in with mine.
I would be interested in comparing notes and sources.
Best regards
KC.
