Inver and Skinnerton, by Tain, Ross & Cromarty, Scotland.

In 1832 half of the folk of Inver/Skinnerton died of cholera. In that year cholera killed about 10% of the Scottish population, slightly less in England, more in other parts of Europe as it spread out from Asia. My grandfather was then a child in Inver, one of a family of fisher-folk. The village then seems to have been mainly Ross's, the lord's name, Mackays, and Skinners. Skinnerton is a slightly separate part of the village, inwards to the arable areas. My grandfathers' folk were in Main Street, Inver where the fisher-folk lived.

He became a Free Church Minister, and went to Dundee where my father was born.

I would be glad to hear from anyone interested in or connected with the 1832 events.
