  9. an 18 yr old farm servant in the hsehold of farmer Andrew & Hellen Keit (as indexed by ancestry) or Keir (as transcr. on FreeCen). Another farm servant (one of many) in the same hsehold is a Donald Bain, 21 b Watten, not a known relation. Given that I have no idea how John and Sinclair met, perhaps Donald Bain of Watten is their cupid? On this completely circumstantial evidence, I have therefore assumed that the correct 1851 John is the one at Noss, where he was to be found in a later census.
    However I should point out that there is at least one other good possibily for John in this census. The other candidate is a 22 yr old farm servant b. Halkirk, at Buckies, Thurso listed as head of a hsehold of farm servants, previous entry Elizabeth McLeod, following entry the farm manager John & Margaret Paul
  10. On the same voyage of the "Invercargill" were Sinclair's brother and his family
