...... ok, I can't help this but it's a question I have always wanted to ask! Does anyone have family name Ross from Rosskeen/Alness/Resolis :) Joking apart I have a David Ross in the family born ca 1782 and married to Ann Junor, Dec 25, 1812. From some records his name is given as David Ross or Bain. At first I though he might be the illegitimate son of a bain/Ross union but his death certificate gives his mother as Mgt. MacKenzie. Anyone have any knowledge on this? thanks moira, in sunny Florida

Hello Moira The following is part of a reply received from Donald MacLennan in 2003. "Marriage at Rosskeen OPR - John Ross,Coachman,Ardross,and Jane Fraser,Inverness,were married on the 16th December 1853". "1881 census Rosskeen ED 7/4 Back. John Ross,Head,Married,48.Coachman,b.Urray,Ross. Jane Ross,Wife.Married,50,b. Burgh,Inverness. Jane Ross,Daur,unmar,19,b.Rosskeen,Ross. Hugh Ross,Son,unmar,16,Scholar,b.Rosskeen." Alness also features prominently in a number of postcards when staying with relatives.
