My WHYTE family in Durness & Eddrachillis.
I am looking for information on the family of my GGGGrandparents, William Whyte born 1780 Achanahanat, Durness and Janet McKay born 1792 Eribol, Durness who emigrated to Canada.
William was the son of John Whyte born abt. 1740 and Ann Fraser born abt.1742 and I think Janet was the daughter of William McKay and Johanna Munro.
I descend from William and Janet Whyte's daughter, Elizabeth born abt. 1828. She had a brother Kenneth Scobie Whyte born 1929. . . .both born Parish of Eddrachillis and came to Canada.
