Good afternoon Lisa, I check the IGI for Birsay, and can't find Catherine under births and christenings. Better hold off before expending too much time.

If that was where she was born, I don't mind at all looking for her in the parish records and trying to locate her birth. I just don't want to "go a'hunting" if she WASN'T born on Burray. :-) - Lisa Elsie Ritchie wrote: > Dear Walter In the 1851 census John and Catherine Louttit were 58 and 57 > respectively John was born on Stromness and Catherine born on Burray. > Thats > the best I can find Regards Elsie Ritchie > ----- Original Message ----- > > > ------------------ List Archives, information on contacting list administrator, Subscribing and UnSubscribing can be found at: http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/intl/SCT/ORKNEY.html ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ORKNEY-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message.

Hi Walter- Birsay is different from Burray. There is *not* one for Burray (e.g. So Ronaldsay parish includes Burray). There ARE two noted for Birsay in the IGI: KATHERINE FLETT (F) .... C: 15 AUG 1791 FATHER: MAGNUS FLETT MOTHER: JANET SPENCE BIRSAY, ORKNEY KATHERINE FLETT (F) .... C: 17 MAY 1799 FATHER: JOHN FLETT MOTHER: ELSPET LINKLATER BIRSAY, ORKNEY >
