I have just recently discovered that my Catherine Linklater was the daughter of Thomas Linklater and Margaret Thomson of Stromness, Orkney. Catherine was born abt 1842 and married Alexander MIlne on the 26 Nov 1869 (I have their wedding certificate). I have a list of other children noted which includes a Thomas chr 31 Nov 1816, Ann, Margaret, William, Betsey, John, Alexander, Janet, Eliza, and Catherine (the youngest) This looks promising.
