Hi Kevin

If you are not already, may I suggest that you join the Orkney Family

History Society and then when you're in Orkney you can call in and they will

help you. I found them very helpful when I was there Sep 2011. Are you aware

that there is a 1821 census available for Deerness, Orphir, St Andrews, Sandwick

and Stromness. None of that helps with David Louttit's dob but there are valuation rolls

and Church records etc available which may assist you. Some are in the Orkney Library,

 some in the Archives and others in the OFHS office. The Archives and OFHS are upstairs

at the library.

I have an ancestor David Loutit 1781-1863, married Janet Flett and lived Orphir, mainly. His parents were John Loutit and Margaret Irvine.
No known connection with St. Andrews (1851 census has him born Rendall), but perhaps
thse names may connect with some of your Lottit researches.

Hi
Thanks for that will check through and see if i can find him or them we had a lot living in the orphir area too
