My great, great grandfather was James Bews (born 1823 in Kirkwall) married to Mary Yorston. (some of his children moved to Canada, he died in the Orkneys, then the rest of his children and his wife moved to Canada.) His siblings included Ann (born 1821), William (I thought born 1825, married to Jane and they moved to England), Isabella (1827, married to George Pottinger, moved to Canada), Jane (1829 married to George Drever, moved to England) and Charles (1833 married to Margaret Sabiston, no children)

I believe your great, great grandfather and mine might have been brothers.
