Thomas Oal was born 27 January 1771 to William Oal and Marrion Manson at Bower, Caithness. Thomas married Elizabeth Bain on 19 June 1802 at Bower. But are the following their children? Elizabeth born 18 June 1803, William December 1806, Weymss May 1809, Bessy December 1811, Ann January 1813, Catherine March 1816, John July 1817, Ellen February 1824. Or have I appropriated other people's children? Difficult to verify from this distance.
