     William Manson was born cir. Sep 1807 at Achoy, Par. of Watten, CAI, SCT.2 He was christened on 27 Sep 1807 in the Par. of Watten, CAI, SCT; Entry reads: 27 Sep 1807 William Manson in Achoy and Christian Young his spouse had a son baptised named William. Witn: Baikie Mullikin in Wester Watten and Alexr Calder in Achoy.2
     William Manson is a potential duplicate of William Manson; one born in Watten, the other married in Wick to Janet Fletcher with one Alexander Manson, ropemaker of Pulteneytown as cautioner for him. This would fit William's brother Alexander by occupation and later place of residence. Not that it helps in any way determine William's fate as the latter has apparently proved elusive in research by a descendant3, and seems to have died prior to 1851, when Janet was shown as a widow, living in Aberdeen.4,3
