I know no way of contacting you privately. It would be nice if I could confirm my guess re the parents of George.

Caithness / Re: Sinclair / Macdonald...need help

Hallo, I know this is a long time after your chat about Helen Sinclair and you've probably sorted it all out by now, but I read your discussion, which I now can't find, about the witnesses to her children's births/baptisms. I am descended from George Sinclair and Christian Henderson of Framside, George being a contender for Helen's father. George and Christian were married on 30/10 1781 and had their first child Andrew on 22/9/1782. I am descended from a younger brother John born 28/6/94 who begat William born 1824 by Jean Sinclair. Could Helen be the first born either before the marriage or after, but not registered? Unfortunately I've only just joined the forum and cannot refer back to see if you know Helen's birthdate.
If Helen is George's daughter, strong circumstantial evidence suggests that he was the son of George Sinclair and Elizabeth McKay (she's from Thurso) and had George on 28/2/1761, Henrietta on 21/3/60 and William on 12/4/62. This ties in with the McKay witness.
This is my paternal line and I hope to research back as far as I can go.
Anyway good luck and I hope this is interesting or helpful.
