Hello Emily
I have found an Angus Sutherland who died 7 Nov 1827 aged 45 years. His spouse Barbara Sutherland died 20 April 1872 (cannot read the age.) Also on the headstone is Grandson Kenneth F Sutherland who died 1862 aged 10 years and their great Grandson Andrew Mackay died 1900 aged 7 months.  Stone erected by their son Robert.  Hope this helps.
Kind regards
Carol

Hi Carol,

I have just found out about the shipwreck of the barque Canton off Cape Wrath 22 Aug 1847 when all hands were lost and the bodies recovered were buried at Durness according to newspaper reports.

Is it possible to find any monumental inscription details of Asher PREDGEN b.1808 Hull who was 1st officer on the barque?

Thank you for looking,
Barbara

Hi Barbara
I have had a look and can't seem to seem anything, but have written to another list to see if someone can help on this one.  Will keep you posted if I hear anything back.
Kind regards
Carol

Hi Carol,

Maybe when they buried them they didn't yet know their names, and perhaps there is no MI for the crew and passengers of the ship.

The newspaper report said:
" As decently as possible the bodies were collected and conveyed to Durness, and on the following day they were interred in the parish churchyard"

Thanks so much for looking. 

Barbara

Yes, you could be right Barbara.  I haven't had any luck finding them so far.

Hello Barbara

It doesn't look like there is any monumental inscription to mark the passengers of the Canton.  I did find it mentioned on the Durness website.  Go to:

http://www.durness.org/Balnakeil%20Church.htm

Sorry I couldn't be more help than that.
Regards
Carol
