• Notes

  [Notes by John Manson - 2005] Willam Manson and Margaret Duncan: Birth records show 8 children, earliest isAlexander, born 1766, latest is Robert, 1787. This would put Williams birth date around 1741 - 1751. In Thurso,there is only one birth for a William Manson in that period- Sept 14, 1747. That would put him at age 19 with firstchild, and at age 40 when he had their last child, Robert(our line). That wouold be consistant with the 1841 census- he would have been 95 years old.
