    1. [ORKNEY-L] 1891 Census extras
    2. Greenwood
    3. Listers - When in Kirkwall last summer - June, 1998, we looked up every HALCRO, WILSON, JOHNSTON and GROUNDWATER we thought we needed in the 1891 census. We find most of our relatives in Orphir, Kirkwall and Stromness. There were several that, it turns out, were not needed, and a lot of information on the pages that did not concen the family names. I copied 26 pages of documents !!! I will be slowly listing these names, if you find any might be pertinent to you, please eMail me for the details. These will be generally listed, with few specifics, other than name of head of household and their age, the spouse if present, and their age. The others enumerated will be listed as "and 3 children" , or "and servant" with their name. I am trying to keep non-essential information out of the list. Just enought to identify a family. - Meg Greenwood - Oklahoma Group #2 Kirkwall : James LINKLATER (born Sanday) - High Street - 63 yrs.
