also know thay he lived in Hamilton from 1852 to 1864 when he moved to
Ottawa, and do have information on all his children,ages at both the
1871 and 1881 census. What I do not have is any particulars on his
parents, His wife Catherine who died in 1880. Any information on his
Orkney history wopuld help fill in some gaps on thid part of my family
history.

Bill,

Just a small point: I've never heard of a place called Sunwich in
Orkney (though that doesn't mean that it doesn't exist) and it doesn't
look like an Orkney name either.

If it is an Orkney place-name, where is it? Sure it isn't, say,
Sandwick? The only Sunwich I can find is in South Africa!

Regards,

Norman Tulloch
