Surnames: Stewart/STUART Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/BgC.2ACI/1288 Message Board Post: Need help finding parents of Charles Stuart, b. 1806 in "Sutherland Shire," according to his handwritten obit. Question: Did parts of Morayshire ever belong to Sutherlandshire? Charles left Scotland for Nova Scotia in 1816 at age of 10 to live with father's brother, John Stuart, who was listed as being from "parish of Plymouth, county of Moray." Someone has suggested that Plymouth is most likely Speymouth. Other family names are Mary, May, Alexander. HELP! Am I even asking the right questions?

G'day Ray, Wondering if you can help me with two members of my MCLEAN ancestry. 1. John McLEAN b. 08 Sep 1867, Garmouth Moray Scotland (Parents: Charles McLEAN & Mary CLARK).

Hi Folks Just seen the following brilliant message via the Lanarkshire List from Nancy Robb: > Hi List, > These Important cards are now finally in the care of The > Western Front Association. Google that name for the details. Well done > all those who "raised the roof" over their proposed destruction. > Nancy Just want to add my "well done" to all you nor-easters who also bombarded the PRO about this. Ray Hennessy

> Thank you, Anne. That was an easy puzzle solved. :-) > > I assume the parish has never changed, even though the > county boundaries have? I am looking way back to 1797. > This is my first time venturing into Scottish > research. I would not assume that - it can get very complicated indeed, especially when people don't realise that everything was subjected to a great upheaval in 1975. Actually the best guide is undoubtedly the details of parish boundaries and county boundaries in Banffshire at www.genuki.org.uk - follow the links through Scotland, to county, to parish. Anne

> Can anyone tell me what parish the town of Banff is in? > Sharon The town of Banff is in the parish of Banff, which is in the county of Banff. Since 1975 the county of Banff has been divided between Moray and latterly Aberdeenshire for purposes of local government. The parish and therefore town of Banff are in the bit which is now Aberdeenshire. From 1975 to 1992 it was in Banff and Buchan District. Anne

Okay, Anne. I'll wander over there, and have a look.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/BgC.2ACI/1287.1.2 Message Board Post: The seat of the Clan Rose is Kilravock Castle (pronounced Kil-rawk to rhyme with 'hawk') and it is on the north (right) bank of the River Nairn about six miles south-west of the town of Nairn and ten miles north-east of the city of Inverness. Tomatin is 17 miles south of Inverness on the A9. It takes about 20 minutes to get there from Inverness. It is 26 miles from Kilravock Castle to Tomatin, and takes 35-40 minutes. Nairn doesn't qualify as a city, and Tomatin isn't big enough to be described as a town!

Thank you, Anne. That was an easy puzzle solved. :-) I assume the parish has never changed, even though the county boundaries have? I am looking way back to 1797. This is my first time venturing into Scottish research.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Rose, Mackintosh, - just east of Culloden AND also near Tomatin Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/BgC.2ACI/1287.1 Message Board Post: John, Not much to go on, however there is a Rose "Home" along the River Findhorn about midway between Nairn and Inverness cities. I also recall from about 30 years back being at the Rose Family Castle - I don't recall the name of it unfortunately - about 1 to 2 hours (max) south of Inverness along Hwy A9 - it may likely have been near Tomatin because my family were Tailors by Trade at one point on the Rose Estate, and those tailors were trained (apprenticed) by their Uncle Donald Mackintosh at or near the Town of Tomatin. Somewhere around 1800 (??) I believe that a Mackintosh married a Rose daughter (wow! some step up for him) and you may be able to pick up the lineage somewhere in that era. Hope this helps a bit. Ron Mann

Can anyone tell me what parish the town of Banff is in? TIA, Sharon --------------------------------- Post your free ad now! Yahoo! Canada Personals

I forgot to tell you, that I also have a bottle of very good scotch single malt from McDuff : Balvenie 12 yrs doublewood. Bought in Madrid today, cannot be found in Sweden unfortunately. But that is another story ;) /Kaj A.

Hi John, there´s a William Reid, married to Margaret Innes from Banff. I dont have any detailed information about William and Margaret, but her 3 brothers were born 1745-48. William and Margaret had at least 4 children: Margaret, Robert, Euphemia, and James, who went to Sweden were he remained single and died 1813. I found this during my research for the Innes family tree. William Reid was a town clerk in Banff. Regards, Kaj Andersson
