Hi, I'm new to this list & am looking for information about Donald BEATON & his descendants. His son Farquhar was born about 1806 in Contin "Ross-shire." I don't know Farquhar's mother's name. Does this ring any bells? Jill, Ottawa, Canada

Hi Phillip Yes, I think I can finally help someone as I was very recently looking for Plantation myself. These are some replies I had. I am sure you will find your answer here as I got this all from the helpful people on this List. Good Luck Lorraine Ottawa, Canada Plantation is part of the Govan area of Glasgow. It was called Plantation because the lands of that area were purchased by a Mr. John Robertson, a Glasgow merchant, who purchased the estate in 1783. He owned several sugar and cotton plantations in the West Indies, hence the name "Plantation" for his new aquisition. The northern boundary of the estate was the River Clyde, the southern was the Paisley canal, to the east was the land of Park House and to the west, the lands of Bellahouston. Many Lewis people moved to Govan and became involved in the shipbuilding and engineering which the Govan area was once famous for, including my grandfather. All that, however, is now gone. I think that Govan is a very likely candidate - many Stornoway people moved to Govan, including several families of my Mackenzie descendants. Plantation was a "quoad sacra" parish and I've forgotten what that means!! Plantation is listed in the Scottish Origins file as a registration District in the Glasgow area. I have a book on the History of Govan. It states that the Parish boundary extended to the North side of the river Clyde as well as the South side. The boundary line followed the River Kelvin to Maryhill in the North, and included Whiteinch, Partick, Dowanhill, Hillhead, and Kelvinside. Glasgow University used to be in Govan parish. On the South side of the river Clyde it embraced the districts of Goven, Ibrox, PLANTATION, Kinning Park, Hutchesontown, Laurieston, Tradeston, Crosshill, Gorbals, Govanhill East and West Pollokshields, Strathbungo and Dumbreck. The Parish extended to Jenny's Burn at Polmadie in the east and to Dean Park at Renfrew in the west. In 1800, the parish was purely agricultural and had a population of 4389. I can in fact confirm that there are still old school buildings on the North side of the river which have "Govan Parish School Board " inscribed on them. Plantation Registration District was only in operation from 1882-1934, so if most of your events are earlier it would not appear. Before 1882 events in that area would probably have been registered under Govan. It does not appear in the IGI. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Phillip Aird" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: 08 December, 2001 20:33 Subject: [RossGen] Plantation? > Hello! > I am trying to track down the death certificate for > James Aird, born around 1830 or so in the Rosskeen > area.

The OPR for Stornoway b. and marr. start 1762 - 1854. Deaths nil. Sleat: b. 1813 - 1853, M. 1813 -1817, 1820 - 1852 and deaths nil. You can buy parish maps which give the dates when the OPR's start from Aberdeen & N.E. Scotland FHS, 164 King Street, Aberdeen. AB24 5BD. I find mine invaluable and well worth the small amount they charge for them. E-mail: [email protected] Mary.

Dear Andy Airries Read your E Mail with interest about the parish of TAIN, am I right in presuming that the same thing will apply to Parish records for Stornoway or have they remained intact???. I have just phoned my local LDS FHC they are only open to the public on Wednesdays, so will have to wait until next week to start investigating there.

Hello- I am looking for information on the family of 2 brothers, Kenneth and Alexander MacAulay. According to LDS, obits, and census records in Alpena, Michigan, USA, Kenneth was born in 1824 in 5 Upper Bayble, Stornoway, Ross And Cromarty, Scotland. Alexander was born in 1830, Stornoway, Ross And Cromarty, Scotland. They both left Stornoway. Alexander moved to Alpena Michigan before 1871. Kenneth made his way to Keith, Banff-shire, where he married Jessie Morrison. They had three children, John [1858], Alexander [1860], and Margaret [1862]. John joined the British Army in 1876-7, serving in the Scots Guard in the Eygptian Campaigns. Kenneth and the 2 younger children left Scotland in 1883 to join his brother in the USA. It is not known what happened to wife Jessie. Christine -- Get your [email protected] email at http://Nameplanet.com/?su

This is very interesting information. Can anyone provide similar information about the parish of Sleat? The Family History Center in Salt Lake City did not have records for them.

I can't speak for Edderton, but here is some background on Tain OPRs: Films of Tain OPRs are available at LDS Family History Centers. The parish records begin in 1701 and extend to 1855, when the responsibility for the registration of births, marriages, and deaths was taken over by the civil authorities of Scotland. Birth records began in the parish of Tain in 1719, marriage records in 1808. The records for the parish from 1701 to 1727 are in poor condition, the edges are worn away, the ink bleeds through the pages, and there appears to be some water damage. These factors, and the age of the microfilm to which the records have been transferred, make these early records very difficult to read. The very poorest of the parish may not have had their births, deaths and marriages listed in the parochial registers. This had to do with the fees charged by the church for these functions. From the November 1995 issue of the Highland Family History Society Journal p. 21: "At Cromarty the 19th April 1808, We, the Committee appointed for drawing up a Table of Fees to be charged by Session Clerks & Church Officers within the bounds of the Synod gave in their report; which being read & considered was approved of, and the Synod in terms of it ordain. That the fees for a Marriage when both parties are resident in the Parish shall be five shillings sterling; but when only one party is resident, three shillings. For Baptism, one shilling. For writing a Certificate of Character one shilling and six pence. For an extract from the Register of Births or Marriage one shilling. For digging a grave & bell for an adult person three shilling. For digging a grave and bell for a person under twelve years one shilling and sixpence." /s/ Hugh Ross, Synod Clerk, Parish Edderton, Ross-shire Missing Records There is a gap in the birth records from 1727 to 1767. I am uncertain how much of these missing records were destroyed, missing, or never transferred to microfilm. With the thoroughness of the LDS genealogists, I assume that for the most part the records do not exist. In fact, the Statistical Account of Scotland (1837) has this to say about the parish records: "There are no trustworthy parochial registers now extant, of a date beyond 1765; at which period we find it recorded that general discontent has been raised by the total want of any registration for nine years before; since that time (except that there is no record of deaths) they have been tolerably well kept." This hole in the records makes doing research in Tain for this period very difficult, and is wide enough to make it nearly impossible to link the individuals on the two ends of the gap. Death records were not required to be kept in the parish until 1784, when a tax on burials was instituted. As it turns out, very few burial records exist in all rural areas of Scotland before 1855. I have been unable to find any of these burial records, save surveys of two burial grounds in the town of Tain. The local museum "Tain Through Time" is aware of an effort, currently underway, to catalog headstones in the area. Andy Airriess

Hi Again Can anyone tell me how I find a OPR for the early 1800's? Do I have to write to a specific place? Also if I am looking for OPR's for Edderton and Tain area's, do I have to have specific church names?

Hi I have much the same problem as Robin. And with a Mackay/McKay etc spellings. In this case Alexander and his wife Johanna. The 1881 census has them at Lairg in Tain with both recorded as born in Tain. The 1891 image has them at 'Lairg House' in Tain, next to (I assume) 'Culpleasant House' and 'Quarryhill House'. But this one has Johan (as she has become) as born at Edderton. Their son James emigrated to Australia in 1876 with sister Jessie (or Janet of whom I have no traces in Scotland) and named everything he owned (house, farm, butchery and slaughterhouse) Edderton. Where oh where did they live in relation say to Tain or Edderton. A sister suggests in the Lairgs of Tain but with only the evidence above. Like Robin I've run out of straws.

Hello Everyone Can anyone tell me where in relationship to Edderton and Tain is a place called Glenshiel? Would it be close? I am still trying to find my William MacKay born abt 1808 in Edderton, I found one in Glenshiel in 1808, fathers name was John MacKay no mother's name. Also is it possible that my William could have been born in Tain or another border village even though the OPR and census returns state he was born in Edderton. I know, this is called grasping at straws but I am running low on idea's. Thank You Robin ________________________________________________________________ Nokia 5510 looks weird sounds great.

Hello- I am looking for information on a Thomas MacDonald, who had, at the very least, Thomas, Alexander, and Christina. Here is what I know, so far= - I am quoting from a little booklet their son wrote as to information on Alexander MacDonald and his wife, Christina MacKenzie. I hope this isn't too long= "Glen Strathpeffer is a beautiful glen in the Highlands of Scotland, twenty miles north of Inverness. It is noted for its deer forests, fishing streams and sturdy men. Here, at a place called Deanie, Alexander McDonald was born in the year 1824. His parents were well known and highly respected in the glen. Two years later the family removed to Farley, in the parish of Kilmorack. Here the boy grew up and was trained for the battle of life. His father was known as Thomas McDonald, of Farley. There are few in the highlands of Inverness-shire but have heard of him. He was a man of integrity and of honour. He served for many years as an elder in the Parish Church, Kilmorack. During the stirring times of the Disruption he stood by his minister and never left the establishment, although all his sons joined the Free Church and worshiped regularly at Balblair....my short story has to do with Alexander, the second son in this remarkable man&#8217;s family....He was later employed by Mr. Sutherland, of Balblair, in the Parish of Knockbain, whom he served for years. Here he was particularly happy. The farm Is beautifully situated, sloping back towards the ridge that runs along the Black Isle. It looks out towards the Beauly Firth, while in the valley below is the village of Munlochy." "Christina McKenzie was born in Dingwall, RossShire, in the year 1835. Her mother was a member of an old and highly respected Dingwall family. Her father belonged to Plockton, Lochalsh. In her third year her parents removed to Muir- of-Highfield, in the Parish of Ferrintosh....In her seventeenth year she took up a position with Mr. Sutherland of Balblair, in the Parish of Knockbain." "In 1853 Alexander McDonald and Christina McKenzie were married in the Reception Room of the Public inn at Conon-bridge, by the Rev. M. McGregor, M.A., Free Church minister, Ferrintosh. The ceremony was conducted in Gaelic, a language with which all present were familiar....bridegroom&#8217;s eldest brother, Thomas, was the life of the party....his sister Christina, the finest exponent of Gaelic songs in the Highlands, gladdened the hearts of all by her magnificent rendering of old and familiar Gaelic songs....party left, wended their way, four abreast, along the beautiful Conon Road, headed by blind Donald the piper, till they reached the &#8220;Lodge&#8221;, where they turned in to Muir-of- Highfield, to the bride&#8217;s father&#8217;s residence...For several years they lived in different parts of Beauly district, Balmaddy, Cnoc-Coille, Curryglen, Mul-na- geap, and Breakachy."

"BadTransB", a virus which started in Europe on the 24th of Nov. and hit here on the 27th. sends emails to all, not in your address book but in your list of emails, it never contacts the same person twice and does little harm to your computer butttttttt The internet states: It creates a log file " KDLL.DLL " and a file "CP_25389.NLS" The actual file that runs is "KERNEL32.EXE" You should now do a search or find to see if any of these files are resident on your computer and delete them if you find them. Internet sites inform me that the first two files can log your passwords etc. and send them back to the producer of this virus so change any bank or sensitive passwords now! There is more work that that. I went many places for answers, but used the info at www.Europe.f-secure.com/v-descs/badtrs_b.shtml as the best place for answers that you can act on. Not all who got blank messages got bitten, I hope this applies to you but take the time to at least search for those *** files for your own sake.

I wondered if anyone knows where Poulnasuiack is in Resolis parish. "my" Peter Fraser is listed as from there in the 1826 Militia List. Judy

Am researching the Bain, Greig and MacKenzie families which come from the town of Applecross in Ross and Cromarty. _____________________________________ Visit my website on http://home.bitworks.co.nz/cmahoney
