I am trying to determine whether there is a link between James Traill Calder, b 1794 in Stangergill/Olrig, Caithness and OH's Calders from Olrig. James parents were George and Janet Reid. They had 4 other children the last one being born in 1806. Janet must have died as George remarried in 1809 to Henrietta Bain. She and George had 2 further children. (Peter, 1817 and Marcus, 1810)
Small bio of James is here: https://archive.org/details/sketchci...e/n22/mode/2up
Henrietta in the 1841 is here: https://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bi...=try&h=1729833
It looks like she is widowed, but I have not been able to find any death for George.
In OH's line, I have a George Calder b.1771 in Dunnet, son of Donald Calder and Jean Forbes. Dunnet is only 3 miles up the road; the Calder family seem to be divided between here and Olrig. He looks like he could be the right age. I cannot find any trace of a marriage to Janet but his marriage to Henrietta is on Scotlands People. Would this have the information of Georges parents or his age on it?
Thanks
