I have some Mansons but not very many.

Christina Manson b. 20 Dec 1777 in Caithness (Independent??) and baptised 26 Dec 1777. She married William Geddes in 1801 in Canisbay and died 1859 in Australia.

Margaret Manson married William Geddes, son of William and Christina in 1823. She died in 1857 and was buried in Canisbay.

Janet Manson married William Geddes, son of William Geddes and Margaret Manson.

Margaret Manson was born 1930 in Thurso, married to Neil Mowat. They moved to Canada before 1955.

I have  copy of a page from the Thurso register that has a William Manson of Pennyland near Thurso witness to the proclamation of marriage of my 3x great grandfather William Shearer in 14 Nov 1795. WS was overseer to the laird Capt James Sinclair of Holburnhead . So I presume WM is a gentleman of standing in the community.
On the same page of proclamations one witness to marriage of Alex Reid , weaver, and Mary Munro is Mr John Manson , saddler and another entry has a Mr Manson of what looks like Borrowston as witness to marriage of Alic Cormack, shoemaker in Forse and Jean Mckay of Borrowston.
Pomeroy in London & Liverpool , Pomery near Launceston Cornwall, Shearer of Thurso, Moore in Colchester and Hornblow in Braintree Essex, Machin in Hackney & Stafford & Cook in Herts, Campbell, Sutherland, Mackay, Brotchie, Gunn in Thurso Caithness. Cadle in South Africa.
