John and Janet Tulloch from Sanday

[Hilty]

Is anyone doing research on Tullochs from Sanday?  I believe I may have found my ggg grandparents and wonder where to go now as there are no records of birth on either John Tulloch or Janet Tulloch. I do have a son mentioned from records.....Thomas Tulloch born in Sanday, Cross & Burns Feb 1792. There are many children listed with parents of the same name. Can anyone shed light as to where I could check to verify these are indeed my ancestors. Any help much appreciated!

Hi Hilty,

Thomas' birth is listed on this site www.cursiter.com. The Orkney Family history society have produced census booklets for Sanday which might be of help, particularly the 1841 census ~ www.orkneyfhs.co.uk. One of their members might well be researching the Tulloch's and be able to help you.

Hi Hilty,

I have recently learnt  that amongst my ancestors on Orkney I also have a Jannet TULLOCH who I hope to learn more about.  Possibly a connection somewhere along the way.

My Jannet TULLOCH married a William CRAIGIE and they had a daughter Barbara Bapt 15 March 1752 on Sanday.

Interested to hear if you have found more on your Janet TULLOCH.

Hi folks, you might be interested to know that there is a booklet available called Sanday Kirkyards recorded by T Garrioch which has all the cemetery inscriptions for the 3 cemeteries in Sanday. ( Cross Kirkyard, Burness Kirkyard and Lady Kirkyard)I believe it is printed on the island but they might be available from OIFHS. It,ll save you a trip out there, which is what I did in September ( got wet feet and didnt see what i was looking for)

Hi akc,

Thank you for your kind offer but unfortunately only know my Jannet Tulloch & William Craigie came from Sanday at this stage. Hope to be back on Orkney in 18mths so will pay Sanday a visit. 
Same thing happened with my friend & myself in Perth, (wet feet) when exploring Cargill Cemetery & then there was no sign of my Milne family plus ended up scrambling through bushes & broken branches amongst which were more MI's.  Fun isn't it!!!

regards,

Hi, there are 3 cemeteries on Sanday as I mentioned above. It,s a beautiful island, the beaches are great and the seals are huge at the north end near the Burness cemetery.
