John:

Christened 24 Dec 1749, Lady, Sanday
Twin of Elisabeth. Christening witnessed by George Traill of Hobbister and Mrs Traill.
This is one of two John Learmonth's who could have married Margaret Fairweather. Have gone for this one because their first born was also named Archibald. John's father, Archibald Learmonth was also witness at the christening of daughter Elisabeth.
In the Orkney Archives Court Records SC11/5/1781, John Learmonth, Merchant in Sanday, did not appear when summoned to appear in the Tolbooth in Kirkwall on a charge of owing £24 - 1/1d from a bill dated 12 May 1775 from Messrs Anderson & Lothian, Merchants, Glasgow. £10 had been paid in 1777, but the rest was outstanding. As John failed to appear on 25 Oct 1781, this was taken as a confession of guilt, and the Sheriff discerned against him.
