I have just started investigating the Lindsays as I have received information from my aunt who is visiting Australia. Helen Lindsay on the 1881 census states her birth year as 1838 (aged 43) and born at Olgin, Sutherland. I asume she meant Caithness. Her birth is not recorded on the IGI so I am looking to listers for some help before ordering OPR film and hoping that her birth was recorded. Family legend has it that she was disowned by her parents just after the birth of my gg grandfather William Lindsay Waters (he took on the Waters name after Helen married David Waters in Leith in 1866). Helens parents were suposed to have property in the Fife area. Helens mother was reported to have traveled by private coach to Leith. Took a look at the child and was never seen again. Helen was given money by her brother (name not known) when he went to Leith to sell cattle. Helen was also said to have had a sister. Hope some one can help out there.
