Hi Tommy
I saw your message about Swansons on the list. My Mother's Mother was
Elizabeth Swanson born 1892 in Scarsfskerry Dunnet and her family had been
there from around 1855 and before that in Mey Canisbay. There does not seem
to be any link to your Swansons but one of my grandmothers old friends. I
think he may have been a school friend, was a Geordie Manson who had a croft
somewhere south of Castletown. I have wonderful memories of a holiday there
about fifty years ago. If there is any connection with your Mansons I have a
couple of very old photos of it.
