Hello everyone!
I am trying to find information on George Campbell born 1786 in Sutherland County and his wife, Janet Bruce, born May 14 1781 in Golspie, Sutherland. Janet Bruce married George 'Sheorais' Campbell (b. 1786 in Sutherland) in Dornoch on Feb 28 1806.
Janet's parents (I believe) are William Bruce born May 10 1752 in Wick, Caithness and Isabell Gunn born 1765 in Caithness.
William Bruce's parents (I believe) are Alexander Bruce born 1725 in Caithness and Margaret Sinclair born August 8 1730 in Caithness, as well.
Isabell Gunn's parents (I think) are Robert Gunn and Isabella Elder both born in 1730 in Sutherland (I think).
I would greatly appreciate any information which would confirm the above and or any supplemental information.
Thank you and regards.
Regards,

Did George and Janet emigrate? They're not listed in the cemetery records for Dornoch or Golspie.
There's a George Campbell on the militia list for 1809 and in the 1811 census as working in agriculture at Morvich, with three males and one female in his household, but after that there's not much trace.
