Hugh, when only 17 years old, took over the joint tenancy of Scockness in
1783 along with his father, Magnus. In her old age Betsy was asked how
many children she had had. “Ten devils,” she replied. Thereafter, her
sons were known as the ‘Ten devils’. Both sons named Hugh died young.
The Marwicks were evicted from Scockness after a dispute with the laird
over kelp-making. The Stevensons then moved to Scockness from Stronsay. |

All of this family, except John and Margaret, emigrated to New Zealand.
Most of them went in the 1850s. The others, along with their father, went
in 1862 after their mother's death. Hugh and Elizabeth had both married
before leaving Orkney. A son of Elizabeth married a daughter of Hugh, and
a grand-daughter of that marriage supplied most of the information on this
family. She is Mrs. Hughna Conner who lived at Molesworth, Victoria,
Australia. |

Craigie is said to have been a sailor on the route from Liverpool to the
west coast of America, and that after a fight on the dockside with a
shipmate, whom he left for dead, he joined the police force. It is said
that Craigie met his death in a Chartist riot but this seems unlikely as
these riots ended in the late 1840s but Craigie was alive until about 1854
at least. Catherine and the three younger children are listed in the
records of the British Mission of the Mormon Church as having arrived in
New York in May, 1863 on board the ship 'Cynosure.' |

Many letters written
to this couple and their children by their relatives in Rousay and New
Zealand are in the possession of descendants in Australia. One of them,
Hughna Conner, provided me with
photocopies. They provide interesting insights into the lives of the
writers and the customs of the times, not only in Rousay but also amongst
the early settlers in Australia and New Zealand. (R.C.M. |

At first this union

as it was outwith the limits of acceptability at that time. Very soon,
the New Zealand Parliament passed legislation to make such unions legal. |

Island. After a spell in the goldfields he was appointed a warder in the
first Dunedin prison. Later he became a merchant at Taieri Mouth.
