Hello list, In the IGI, I have come across births where the location is 'Back, Ross and Cromarty.' Is there a place called 'Back" or do you think they mean Black, as in Black Isle? It is on all five of the birth/christening entries. Judith, Christchurch
Thanks to everyone who replied to my request. Looking at the map, Back seems a long way from Ross & Cromarty -near the Isle of Lewis so I wondered why it was in the IGI as Back, Ross & Cromarty (Batch # 8409032). I was looking for my great-grandmother Isabella MCKENZIE birth in R&C, near Knockbain, c1846. Her parents were Roderick MCKENZIE and Mary FRASER.
