Hi all, Seems like as good a time as any to de-lurk and post my interests in the Caithness area. :> My maternal grandmother was Anna Campbell GUNN, Born: 28 DEC 1881, Caithness, Scotland. She came to Canada and married John Thomas HAWSON (from Rotherham, England) on 12 AUG 1908, in Brandon, Manitoba, Canada. My grandmother died when my Mom was young, so I unfortunately never got to meet her, but I have a few treasured photos. I was fortunate enough to get to know my wonderful grandfather, though. Her parents were William GUNN (Born 12 JAN 1847, Thurso, Caithness, Scotland) and Annie CAMPBELL (Born ABT 1849). They were married 12 JUN 1874, in Thurso, Caithness, Scotland. Here's the text from their marriage record in the OPR. Parish of Thurso, County of Caithness.
