Biography
William Manson was born about Sep 1771 and is presumed to have died prior to the 1841 census.
Over time, the baptisms of their children show that William and Christina moved from farm to farm around Watten, and thence to Wick Parish: After their marriage they were at Coghill in Watten by the time of the christening of their first child, David. By Feb 1803, and again from 1807 thru 1811, they are shown in Achoy, Watten, but in Achavrole in 1805. By 1813 they were shown as being in Flaxilass, Wick, then in Winless for the baptism of Christian (1815) and Isobel (1817)
