Hello Claire, I've got him on a 1893 death - no three signatures are the same! the one on the bottom is the clearest, maybe Ferquil Nicolson, at first I thought it was Torquil, still could be! I asked if anyone knew where Durine was - but read it in a reply to a previous email of mine - it's Durin, practically in Durness. Hopefully someone can tell us for sure his correct name!

Hello List Does anyone know of an index of registrars? i.e. who served where and when? Claire Atkinson

Dear Lois, Talking of MACKAY/ MANSON marriages...Is this family in your tree? Death 34 Hugh MACKAY, pauper, formerly crofter; 24 Nov, 1888, Midtown, Tongue; 80; Angus MACKAY, crofter, dec'd, Marrion MANSON, dec'd; heart disease, 3 years, as cert'd by James B Cunningham; Donald Gow MACKAY, son; I believe Hugh MACKAY was married to my great grandmother's half sister, Jannet MACKAY, but I have not found a son a son called Donald Gow MACKAY. Hugh was Jannet's senior by 20 years, so perhaps he had been married before. The 17 year old Donald Gow MACKAY in 1881 census lived in Skinnid, not Midtown and was the son of Elizabeth. Any thoughts? Liz
