1. William Hourston - Lyking Sandwick [1]
Still trying to verify parents of William Hourston, his marriage states that he was from Lyking, he was born c1779. While browsing "Kirkwall in the Orkneys" i came across a paragraph which said that Lyking had been in possession of Louttits, and that a daughter of Louttits married a Hourston. It also mentioned that the Hourston's sold Lyking c1820. I checked the sasines and sure enough William Hourston of Lyking sold to Robertson of Stromness.It also stated that William Hourston was then residi

3. Frank LONG death, Orphir 1915 [1]
Came across a drowning in the 1915 Deaths for Orphir. The deceased was from England. No relation to this family, posting it for the unexpected link to Hertfordshire. Not sure how parent's names were gotten if he wasn't a local.....perhaps he was swept off an English ship in Scapa Flow and had no links to Orkney at all. Meg Greenwood Frank Edwin LONG, Able Seaman, R.N. Single./ died Sept 30 about 12:30pm aged 22y at Scapa Flow. Usual residence Hawkswich Lodge, St Albans, Herts. Parents were George Long,

6. REV. JAMES TYRIE - REV. JAMES BREMNER [1]
Would any readers care to suggest why Rev. James Tyrie, Minister of Sandwick Parish would travel to Walls Parish to baptize a Walls child there on 12 March 1772, when Rev. James Bremner was the Minister in Walls at the time? Thanks, Bruce Young ontherox@telus.net

10. Re: [Orkney] census look up Evie 1841/1851 [1]
Fiona - The only Lyking that I can find in the 1851 census booklet for Evie and Rendall is in Rendall - 6/28 occupied by James Wood and his family. I didn't find a William Hourston, the right age in either the 1841 or 1851 census of Evie and Rendall. Good Luck in your search.

11. Re: [Orkney] From Quoy to Castle [1]
The book is called Fae Quoy Tae Castle and it's a wonderfull book. It has photos [b&w] of all the house on the Isle of Westray. Each house has a write-up with family names. The index however, is a little skimpy and should be expanded. I love my copy. It speaks volumes even without the words.

Fiona. If you get no replies to this request, let me know and I'll pop into the Kirkwall library for you next week some time and see if I can find it. But someone may reply on line.

20. Re: REV. JAMES TYRIE - REV. JAMES BREMNER [1]
A fascinating question. Some of the more obvious possibilities are that Bremner was sick or on vacation and Tyrie was "standing in" for him, or that, as I believe was the custom, ministers occasionally used to "swap" on Sundays, each visiting the other's church to take the services there. This might entail a routine baptism. But I find (from www.genuki.org.uk/big/easter/index.html) that 12 March 1772 was not a Sunday but a Thursday, which I believe was a favoured day for baptisms. Digging deeper,

Wondered if anyone would be kind enough to look up census for Evie 1841 and 1851 for my elusive William Hourston of Lyking in the hope that he is there and the one \I'm looking for. William Hourston born c1779, unless he remarried between 1833 and 1841 he is a widower.Possible children with him are Margaret born c1811,Robert born c1813 and William born c1820 (this is taken from 1821 census so not sure about accuracy etc) thanks Fiona
25. Re: REV. JAMES TYRIE - REV. JAMES BREMNER [1]
That Thursday was a favoured day for baptisms and that other ministers customarily attended local ordinations is new information to me and makes some sense out of this particular situation. The parents of the child in question were both from Walls families, but who knows . there may have been some other previous connection with the Rev. James Tyrie from Sandwick. Thanks for your response, James! Bruce Young
