Catherine was the daughter of John THOMSON (1755-after 1841) and Janet MORRISON (before 1760-before 1841).
Her death record states that Catherine, the widow of William WILLIAMSON, was the daughter of John THOMSON, deceased farmer, and Janet MORRISON, deceased [General Register of Deaths Index Scotland, 1861-1876]. She died of an illness that lasted several months. The informant was her son, Andrew, of Heglibister, Weisdale. She was enumerated with her husband and family in 1841 at Gardy. I did not find a record for the marriage of Catherine's parents in the Old Parish Registers in Scotland [ScotlandsPeople website].
Moulla (Mulla?)is located several miles north of Gardie.
Catherine was born at Delting circa 1784; died at Gardie, Parish of Weisdale, on 19 June 1876, aged 92 years [Scottish Censuses; General Register of Deaths Index Scotland, 1861-1876; 1876 Whiteness & Weisdale, Co. Shetland (10/12)].
