    3. Hi Everyone, I am working my way through my notes, and do have a details of a descendant of Walter Grieve Williamson and Margaret Clyne, through their daughter Margaret (b.1862) who married Edward Pirie ALLARDYCE. I am a little confused where some people fit in - if you desire to contact that person, e-mail me offlist a [email protected], as I am unsure if anyone apart from Ian is interested in this family. It gives Walter Grieve WILLIAMSON as the son of John WILLIAMSON and Elizabeth MALCOLM, and born Caithness. Maragret CLYNE is the daughter of David CLYNE and Elizabeth SINCLAIR. It is further confused by this group of headstones, all close to each other, in Sale cemetery: In memory of James CLYNE of Tinamba, died March 6th 1895, aged 68 years. Also his beloved wife, Janet Meiklejohn, died July 27th 1892, aged 42 years, also their third son, James Allan, died June 11th 1886, aged 4 years. Sacred to the memory of Margaret Pirie, the beloved wife of Alexander ALLARDYCE, who died 21st August 1875 aged 33 years, the above Alexander ALLARDYCE, died 19th Dec 1912, aged 84 years. Sacred to the memory of David CLYNE, born Parish of Bower, Caithness, Scotland, died at Tinamba 29 June 1866, aged 79 years, also his beloved wife Elizabeth, died at Newry 12 March 1890 aged 87 years. Sacred to the memory of John ALLARDYCE of Tinamba, who died Nov 7th, 1866 aged 40 years. My main confusion comes from the Meiklejohn (is it a second name or following the Scottish tradition of sometimes referring to women by their maiden name????). Why am I confused???? Remember the other group of Tinamba Willilamsons from Caithness, which is John Williamson married a Barbara WILLIAMSON. I now know Barbara (born Leurary, Caithness), is the daughter of Donald Williamson and Barbara Meiklejohn, who were also at Tinamba. There is that name again. (John WILLIAMSON, husband of Barbara WILLLIAMSON, was born Nuidale, Scot). Cheers Linda -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
