91897: Mary Thomson

Màiri Iain Sheumais Tamson

Mary (1870-1958) was the daughter of John Thomson and Ann Graham of 52 Coll.

Mary married Kenneth Martin of 21a North Tolsta. The couple were cottars at 21a North Tolsta. al they had eight children: five boys Mary and Kenneth had eight children.

Kenneth became a shepherd in Glen Tolsta and although there was a house with the job, the family never lived there. In some records they are said to have lived at Hill Street, but as the cottars house at 21a North Tolsta is located on Hill Street it may well just refer to this.

In 1922 the family moved to 8 North Street, Sandwick.
