I have come to a complete dead end on my Orkney ancesters. Any help or clues will be most welcome. My GG Grandmother was Cecilia Wood Garrioch (sometimes spelt Garrick) born in Orkney Kirkwall according to the 1861, 1881, and 1891 censuses. From the various ages given she should have been born between 1812 and 1814. Her parents were Robert Garrioch (Ships Carpenter) and Susannah Sutherland according to her death certifcate 1891 Edinburgh. She married Alexander McLennan (House painter) in Caithness Wick 12 May 1832 and they had the following children. By 1861 they were living in Turrif Robina McLennan May 1833 Wick John 1837 Dundee Margaret Massie 1840 Wick My great grandmother Alexander Tulloch May 1843 Wick James Garrick 1847 Wick Robina I suspect died as an infant John I think emigrated to America James moved to London and travelled frequenly to New York where Emeline Mclennan (daughter)was living in 1887.
