GUNN FAMILY of CAITHNESS & later TASMANIA AUSTRALIA

Journal by

Hi

My Gunn ancestors came from Caithness Scotland, dating back to Charles Gunn and Margaret Cormack in early 1700's. Later generations lived around Bilbster, Watten & Stemster areas. My great x 2 grandparents, Alexander Gunn born 1811 and Barbara Nicolson born 1816 both came from Stemster. They married in 1838 and emigrated to Tasmnaia Australia, arriving in 1839. They lived in Launceston and had 11 children, one daugher Mary Ann, is my great grandmother born 1849. She married William Craw in 1869.

Looking to find anyone researching Gunn and Craw families. The Craw family came from Edinburgh.

regards

John

Hi Rachel.

Thanks for your message. My Gunn/Keith relationship is through Donald Gunn bn 31/7/721 at Haster Parish of Wick and Margaret Keith bn 6/4/1729 at Bilpster Parrish of Watten. I do not have any Ann or Georgina Gunn's in my family tree. Margaret's parents were John Keith and Mary Malcolme. If I come across any likely links I will let you know.

regards

John
