GUNN FAMILY OF CAITHNESS

Post by John Bird » Fri Oct 09, 2009 2:08 am

Hi

My Gunn ancestors came from Caithness Scotland, dating back to Charles Gunn and Margaret Cormack in early 1700's. Later generations lived around Bilbster, Watten & Stemster areas. My great x 2 grandparents, Alexander Gunn born 1811 and Barbara Nicolson born 1816 both came from Stemster. They married in 1838 and emigrated to Tasmnaia Australia, arriving in 1839. They lived in Launceston and had 11 children, one daugher Mary Ann, is my great grandmother born 1849. She married William Craw in 1869.

Looking to find anyone researching Gunn and Craw families. The Craw family came from Edinburgh.

regards


John

Craw isn't a name I recognise. I guess it may be a variation of the surname Crow, or Crowe - certainly worth considering these in your searches.

All the best,
