Hi Celeste, Thanks for your email and the interesting details. You give me hope that I might find something of my ancestry in Caithness! The marriage of Charlotte PETRIE on June 15, 1849 to Henry TAYLOR, jun. is interesting. She is the daughter of George PETRIE and Helen MALCOLM. Her brother is the George who was also a shoemaker, and probably the leading candidate of all the George PETRIE's who might be my great great grandfather! But, unfortunately, all the evidence is circumstantial! First, he was a shoemaker, but my great grandmother Catherine PETRIE listed him as a Blacksmith on her marriage certificate!!!! If he died in her youth she might have gotten this information confused! In the 1841 Census for Wick George PETRIE is listed as 26 years old and married to a Christina PETRIE. In the 1851 census he is listed as a widower, living in Pulteneytown. There is an Elizabeth CAMPBELL age 22 living in Pulteneytown in the 1851 census and she might be Catherine PETRIE's mother, except there is no marriage or birth certificate around that time to prove this. So I keep searching to see what I might be missing! Any further help would be appreciated! George Weston
