Person:William Tulloch (21)

NOTE: Some genealogies have William Weir Tulloch as a son of John Tulloch and Janet Fotheringham. This is unlikely, given he reference below to "a family belonging to Orkney".

They had settled for some generations in Perthshire.

It is possible this is William Tulloch, b. 10 Mar 1792 in Kilmadock, Perthshire, son of Alexander Tulloch and Euphenia Anderson. [FreeREG]
