Dear Jack,
Congratulations, you have just found
another relative!
My Great, Great Grandfather was James
Sinclair, younger brother of John (b. 27th April 1807, Kirkwall & ST.
Ola).
James succeeded his Father, William, in
the tenancy of a farm called Crossiecrown which was situated just outside
Kirkwall.
We have tried for many years to get
further back, only to be thwarted as the Parish Record which contains the
marriage is missing. There is a chance that we may have found a way round this
problem. We will keep you informed.
You will notice that there was a sixth son
born to William & Mary named George (b. Aug. 1814,
Kirkwall).
