The ancestor in my tree with this surname was Hellen Water. Her relationship to my ex-husband is:
Hellen Water married John Meiklejohn on 27 October 1732 at Thurso, Caithness, Scotland. They had 2 children:
- Donald Meiklejohn christened 29 May 1734 at Thurso, Caithness, Scotland
- John Meiklejohn christened 11 Nov 1736 at Thurso, Caithness, Scotland.
I haven’t been able to find a baptism record for Hellen, so this as far back on this line that I’ve been able to go.
