Just looked-up on the Libindx the death of William Innes in 1861 and it states that it was shown in th MA paper for the 25 Dec.1861 on Page 4/6. Does anyone have access to this article or should I go to the Libindx site and order it. William

George & Coleen, I neglected to add a note about "form submitted" records on the IGI. These usually start with a batch number 7. In my limited experience researching my own family, 97% of these can also be found on scotlandspeople. I am not sure what this means, the first number 7 and the designate of "form submitted" as opposed to "record submitted"; all I can tell you is not to discount them. All recorded entries under batch 7---- of children pertaining to Rev. Patrick Grant and Beatrice Campbell are also indexed by scotlandspeople.

Hello George & Coleen........ I am not related to this family. Hers was an extra death on my page but in doing some checking, I found the family extremely interesting so dug a little more than usual. ___ Nairn, Nairnshire, Pg 14 - Janet Georgina Gordon - 22 Jun 1866 - Died at Ivybank, age 56, married to James Gordon (captain half pay), daughter of John Grant (Major 97th Regiment) (deceased) and Anna Trapaud Grant MS Grant (deceased) PA (?) Gordon, son, informant. ___ This James Gordon was first married to Margaret Knight, daughter of Robert Knight, Esq.... ___ "Capt. James Gordon, April 9. At Ivy Bank, Nairn, N.B., aged 90, Captain James Gordon, late of Revack, Strathspey, N.B. The deceased was the fourth son of the late James Gordon, Esq., of Croughly, Banffshire by Anna, daughter of John Forbes, Esq., of Bellabeg, co. Aberdeen, and brother of the late General Gordon of Lochdbu. He was born at Croughly in the year 1776, and entered the army as ensign, 92nd Gordon Highlanders, in 1804. In the following year he became paymaster of his regiment, and served with it throughout the Peninsular War and at Waterloo, receiving the ward medal with seven clasps and the Waterloo medal. Captain Gordon, who was one of the most popular men in the North, was a deputy-lieutenant for Elginshire and Nairnshire. He was twice married, first in 1819, to Margaret, daughter of R. Knight, Esq., by whom he has left issue one daughter; and, secondly to Janet Georgina, daughter of Major John Grant, late 97th Regt., of Auchterblair, by whom he has left three sons and two daughters. The deceased was buried in the family burial ground at Kirkmichael, Banffshire." "The Gentleman's Magazine", Vol 222, pg 816-817" ___ Janet Georgina was born 11 Jun 1810 Duthil / Rothiemurchus (IGI extracted - have not looked at the record) to John Grant & Anne Grant. I assume her mother (Anne Trapaud Grant) was named after her Aunt Anne Campbell who married Alexander Trapaud, governor or Lt. governor of Fort Augustus. Janet's mother, Anne, was born in 1785 Duthil to Rev. Patrick Grant, Minister of Duthil and Beatrice Campbell. Anne may have been a twin to Matilda who was baptized the same day (no date of birth listed for the two). Janet's grandmother, Beatrice Campbell, was baptized 2 Sep 1781 Kilmartin, Argyllshire to Capt. Neil Grant & Matilda Campbell. Janet was also the informant on her mother's death........ ___ Nairn, Nairnshire, Pg. 19 - Anne Trapaud Grant d. 30 Jun 1865 - Died at Ivybank (usual residence Duntroon Cottage, Queen Street, Nairn), age 80, widow of John Grant, Major, 97th Regiment, daughter of Patrick Grant (Minister of Duthil) (deceased) and Beatrice Grant MS Campbell (deceased). Janet G. Gordon, daughter, informant. ___ Janet Georgina's grandmother, Beatrice (Campbell Grant), is listed with her daughter Anne in the 1841 Nairn, Nairn census (www.freecen.org.uk) I have found much just by google-ing. The quickest way to do this is enter a person's name within quotation marks and an odd item, such as a place. You could just enter "Gordon, Croughly" or "James Gordon, Croughly" and come up with information on this family. Hopefully, I have answered your questions - please excuse any typos! If you are related to Janet, I do have images that I would be happy to pass along. King regards and happy hunting!! Sherry

Sherry, My research shows that Janet Georgina GRANT. daughter of Major John GRANT of Auchterblair, & Mary PROCTOR, was born 1797, Christened Inveravon, Banff, Scotland, died 29 Jun, 1866; married 21 April 1831 to Captain James GORDON, son of James GORDON, of 'Croughley', born 1776, Christened 4 Jun 1776, Kirkmichael, Banff. He died at Ivy Bank, (Now the Nairn museum), Nairn, 9 Apr 1867, aged 90. He was a Captain 92nd Highlanders, and was known at one time, as Captain James Gordon of Revack. James GORDON & Janet Georgina GRANT has five children. James GORDON fathered three children with Margaret KNIGHT prior to his marriage to Janet Georgina GRANT. I need to go back to my GORDON research and check for a marriage here, and details for Margaret KNIGHT. I am married to a direct descendant of Ann GORDON, daughter of James GORDON, of Croughley. I am still searching for any birth details, etc of daughters born to William Alexander GORDON, and his first two 'marriages'. The sons were mostly soldiers, fitting as he was a Major General, and a leader against Napoleon. Much of my GORDON research has been through the Nairn Museau, and the GORDON Rootsweb site. Can you advise me of some of the internet site, etc that you have discovered details on Janet Georgina GRANT? I am most interested. Regards, Colleen R. Researching GRANT, GORDON, MACKIE, in Moray, Banff, Scotland.

Sherry, I have a problem with this as I have a Janet Grant born 1797 to John Grant and Mary Proctor but this John Grant is a farmer in Bellehiglash, Inveravon. The Libindx Moray site has Janet Georgina Grant who married Captain James Gordon, born about 1810 and her death was 9th April 1867 as you state but her age was 56 at death, so 1810 would be correct assuming the Moray details are correct. The Moray Cemetery site has all the details of Captain James Gordon and his family. Kirkmichael Headstone Km150.

Over the past four or five years, I have downloaded quite a few images from scotlandspeople, including deaths, 1855 plus. Although primarily focused on my surnames, I am entering the data gleaned from these records into my Legacy program as well as doing a little research using information obtained from same. At some point, I plan to post this tree to tribalpages as a regional website. This is my last ditch effort to connect with folks who may share my ancestry as well as contribute additional information gleaned from my research. One of the "extras" on a death record was a Janet Georgina Grant who died in 1866 Nairn. What a can of worms! I am so glad that I am descended from poor farmers and the like, else I would never finish my tree. As I try to include records (from free sources) for parents and siblings into these entries (whether they fall into a birth, marriage, death or a census entry), I find that Janet Georgina is descended from a Campbell of Barcaldine and Grant of Duntroon. Her husband a Gordon of Croughly, Banffshire. and from what I have read online regarding the Gordon side, this family alone contributed quite a number of military officers. All being said....the reason for my post (and I always take the scenic route) is that there appears to be a great influx of new information on the net that was not available two years ago or even a year ago. I have learned this from entering Janet. I am truly amazed. After working over a week on this family, this morning I discovered that this week's research was already "loosely" covered by FamilySearch Community Trees http://histfam.familysearch.org/ I know what you are thinking :-)....but this particular database is entitled "British Isles: Peerage, Gentry and Colonial American Collections", compiled from 15 "reputable" texts. Actual dates are off with regard to the above family but there is enough information included to give a good head start. So going back to Janet, I find yet another source (burials) that leads to yet another source (and I am not certain how I will cite this source) Janet's parents were James Grant and Anne Trapaud Grant.. http://scottishwargraves.phpbbweb.com/scottishwargraves-ftopic617.html Another really good link if you have military Gordon's - http://www.electricscotland.com/webclans/dtog/gordon_under_arms.pdf The bottom line...google from time to time. Hopefully the links posted will work for you. If not, let me know and I will try and figure it out. Happy hunting to all!

Point taken, Robin. This did occur to me after I had sent the posting and I'm glad you've pointed it out.

I sent out the original message below to these boards and its only fair that I should share with all of you the information I've received so far, especially from Robin, Iain and Anne. I apologise to those who have already read this elsewhere. Alex. BURGESS (almost certainly Alexander Mackinnon BURGESS) has been found on the 'Manitoban' sailing out of Glasgow on 27 June 1872 and arriving Quebec 10 July 1872. He is on the passenger list just below James GARROW and Mrs GARROW (Isabella Murison). He is described as a printer. 20/20 vision is recommended to see these names! The juxtaposition of these names is apt, since they will have known each other previously and kept together. Alexander's mother, Ann, died in Ottawa in 1880. Further research is needed to find out when she emigrated. Maggie ANDERSON (Margaret Beatrix Anderson) has been found on the 'St. Patrick' arriving (in Quebec) on 30 June 1871, along with William ANDERSON, gent., single. This gentleman could be Maggie's brother. Their parents, Thomas ANDERSON and Jane ALLAN, are not shown and further work is necessary to find out when they emigrated. Margaret (aged 19) is shown to be in Portsoy in the 1871 census, along with her parents; Thomas is shown to be a printer and publisher, so it could well be that Alexander Mackinnon BURGESS was an employee. James MURISON and wife Isabella GARROW, along with family have not yet been found, but great hopes lie in obtaining a copy of a book "Scots in the USA and Canada, 1825-1875, Part Four" by David Dobson. This is the fourth of a five-part series giving names, sailing dates, places of settlements, etc., etc. of Scottish people who emigrated to North America. This book, Part Four, is based in information in documents housed at the National Archives of Scotland and other places in Canada. If anyone has a copy, perhaps a look-up would be in order! I will continue to share information as it comes to light and I ask anyone to contact either me or the boards if they have anything else to add.

If you do not like what you read, ignore it and move on. These messages help many people. I checked back and saw that Sherry sent in a request on 6th March.
