Notes

Note: 1

Magnus Colvin (b. 1828) - If the 1901 census for the correct man (there were three Magnus Colvins born in 1828!) then the man who has spent his lifetime as a fisherman, with a family of fishermen, has, in his 70s, moved to the main town and found work as a mason's labourer. Sad!!

Note: 2

Magnus Colvin - having spent most of his life in the south of Mainland, why was he near Scalloway when he died?
