Bruce the first thread on the board is there for you to read if you are unsure how to post a question.

People would react better to having enough info to work on plus a few manners thrown in.

I do remember finding OPR record for marriage of Alexander to Margaret Backley??or could it be Margaret------- (from Backley) and that was Aug 1804. I also found the marriage of Robert to Janet Sinclair but the only Janet i could find in births would have made her about 12 years old? could that be right? Thanks again for all the help

Hi Bruce,
I think this is Robert & Janet's first child, (If she was born just before their marriage) so if they used the Scottish naming pattern, it is possible that Janet's mother would be Eliza/Elizabeth

ELIZA CAMERON Pedigree

Extracted birth or christening record for the locality listed in the record. The source records are usually arranged chronologically by the birth or christening date.

Do you know all their children's names please as it can help to track down the correct parents for Robert.

I think that Eliza was the first and only one. I have checked census in that area and also found that mum and dau, close matches, were house servants to sheriff of thurso. thanks for your suggestions..I reckon theres a good chance that she came from James sinclair and Johanna mackay.
