LYALL DAVID
Parents:
DAVID LYALL/BARBARA THOMSON FR516 M SANDAY (LADY, CROSS AND BURNESS)/ORKNEY (married June 29, 1819)
Yes this is the family I am interested in. Young David had a brother named William. Who had a child with Mary Swanney from N. Ronaldsay. They worked in the same area on Sanday and Mary had his child out of wedlock after she returned home to N.Ron. She lost all church privileges and fought for him to acknowledge his involvement so she could baptize the child. He eventually did and she regained favor at the church.
There is more to the story but this is enough for now.
Thank you for the info so far. It is great.
