Classification: Query
Surnames: Lyall, Straton, Thomson
For Andrew Lyall, born in 1821, I have found 3 lighthouses where he worked. I have photos of them all. I have confirmed this through census documents. 1851

1851
Light House Shou Of Lochryan

1861
Girdleness Lighthouse, Kincardineshire

1881
Portnahaven, Argyll, Scotland
Rhinns Of Islay Light House

I have also found that David Lyall, his father, was the lighthouse keeper on Sanday, Orkney, the Start Point Lighthouse. Have photos of this too.

Robert Lyall, is freguently listed as the father of this David Lyall. Robert was married to Hellen Straton. But I have not been able to track down the right birthdate for Robert, or confirm his occupation. Hellen Straton is easier. If anyone has firm data on the parents of David Lyall please let me know.

I found this data in the Parish records. I am find it confusing. Am not sure it is births or baptisms.
