    Default MANSON connection with ROBERTSON (BISSET): Scotland (Thurso, Caithness); Canada (Onta

    I'm researching MASSIES from Fraserburgh, Scotland, and connecting / extended families.

    Isabella Bisset Robertson (whose parents David Douglas ROBERTSON & Isabella BISSET emigrated from Scotland to Toronto, Ont, Canada in 1910) married a MANSON, but I have no other details, other than that he may have been from Thurso area, Caithness, Scotland. In 1952, Isabella Manson visited Thurso Cemetery with her mother, Isabella Bisset and her Uncle Willie ( Wiliam BISSET).

    Are there any MANSONS out there with such a connection?
    Are there any MANSONS with records of a Thurso Cemetery?

    Would anyone know if records of who is buried in a Thurso Cemetery exist and are they available online?

    Thanks for any help.

    Hi Kingetter,

    Is there any chance your David Douglas Robertson was in the Fire Service in Toronto? a long shot but some of the details fit with 'my' Robertson.

    Hi Nico.

    Frankly, I have no idea as this is an area I've not really looked at in any depth. Nor do I have much yet in the way of dates.

    Down the line, I have someone in Toronto (a descendant) whom I have very intermittent contact with. As I'm talking about a 'living' person I should PM you on this matter.

    James.

    Hi Derek. No offence taken, good suggestion. I have been in touch with someone else who thought that was a possibility to check into but no word back yet. I'm not a member and some resources are unavailable to non members it appears.
    C'est la vie?
