One Place Study for Watten, Caithness

See this category for a full list of all profiles included in the place study.

A Google Map indicating the years and residences of some individuals in the One Place Study can be found at this link. The intention is to show places of residence as profile information is added for:

  • Baptism Records (Green Bullet)
  • Marriage Records (Red Bullet)
  • Scotland Census (current focus is 1841, 1851 and 1861); grey bullet for 1841; blue bullet for 1851; and yellow bullet for 1861. Only heads of each household are recorded on the map for the purpose of tracking families.

I have recently created a profile for John McAdie who according to the 1871 census is listed as born in Watten, Caithness while his death record lists his parents as Donald McAdie and Jessie Murray. Does this count for his profile to be added to the Watten, Caithness One Place Study?

I have created a profile William Cull - his mother is Janet nee Tait.

I found the probable connection to George Tait (abt.1826-1911) - my query is with any new profiles, do I add only the blood relations to this study. Regards Roger Davey
