QSAMIKE Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Good Morning Tony....... That is the name of a town in that section of the form, the title area is missing...... Olrig is a parish in Caithness, Scotland and the main settlement in the parish is Castletown..... Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted August 10, 2010 Author Share Posted August 10, 2010 Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Thanks very much for that Mike. The other surviving pages of his record all say Edinburgh, Caithness and googling it didn't turn up anything either. Googling it again turned up Parish, Station and Caithness so I wonder what went wrong the first time I did it. Thanks again. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
