Title: Captain Magnus Work of Kirkwall
Post by: zil on Monday 20 February 06 20:24 GMT (UK)
Hello Orcadians.......I wonder if anyone can tell me who the parents were for Captain Magnus Work (1910 to 2006)?  I know he must fit into a tree I've just done.  Thanks....Zil

You obviously haven't replied to Joe so you may not be aroud and moved on.

WORK is an interesting name and I don't imagine there are that many around.

On that note if you are try this site there are lots of Works or Warks.

Here is an interesting story about Capt Magnus Work from the website of the local newspaper http://www.orcadian.co.uk/features/articles/spagnummoss.htm

He was a real gentleman and is sadly missed.

Hello - are you still looking for this information? Captain Magnus Work was the cousin of my husband’s grandfather (David Spence Clouston) so I can ask around the family to find out his parents if you’re still looking.
