Diane, Your ancestor's names are not in my direct lineage, but South Ronaldsay is not that large, and all of your surnames are in my book. Here is what I have: THOMSON Andrew Barbara George James Rachel ANNAL Jannet FLETT Janet >> John Thomson who married Margaret Annal. << In the IGI, I see that John Thomson married Margaret Annal on 21 Feb 1832 in South Ronaldsay, Orkney. Have you actually ordered the LDS microfilm of the Parish Register, and looked at the original entry? Rel@ively William A.

My Thomson's are John Thomson who married Margaret Annal. Margaret is said to have been the younger half sister of John Annal who married Helen Flett. Does any of this sound familiar?
