Hi, I was interested in your Finlay McRae. I have a 3great grandmother Catherine McRAE (married Angus McDONALD) born Kintail about 1805/6 She was 45y in 1851 census. I am trying to find her parents. - think she died around 1853 (the time of the Knoydart Clearances - Angus was a Shepherd there) so cannot find death which would give her parents perhaps. It seems Angus married again 1854. This is a brick wall at the moment, so thought perhaps you knew something about the Kintail McRAES???

Hi All, I'm new to this list, and am really hoping that someone will be able to help me break through my brick wall with my family name Fyfe. The only details I have are from a copy of my grandfathers birth certificate which I have recently received. My grandfathers name was William Fyfe and he was born on the 15th August 1902, at Thomas Street, Drypool, Hull, East Yorkshire. His father was Alexander Fyfe (General Laborer) and his mother was Janet Fyfe (nee Pattison). William was adopted at a very early age and never knew his real parents, in fact he didn't know he was adopted until he was 26 years old. He was adopted by William and Ellen Beauchamp, who lived at an address just a couple of streets away from where my grandfather was born. I have searched on the 1901 census to try and find Alexander and Janet Fyfe, but they don't appear to be anywhere in the census, in fact there are very few Alexander Fyfe's and none seem to fit the correct profile. All my other research has so far turned up nothing. I have found plenty of Alexander Fyfe's in Scotland, the trouble is, is knowing which if any of them are mine. If anyone has any information that they think might help, I would be very, very pleased to hear from you. Regards Linda Brookes.

Hi, Judy, if you look up Brocair in Google.com, you find a lot of use of the name to do with dog-breeding, then further down there is a section of old maps. This shows Brocair, spelt Breacaer, as a town or village on the Isle of Lewis. I hope this helps. best regards Lorraine in W Australia

Hi there This is my family below. However I need someone's help with the word BROCAIR. I have heard it means 'badger hunter' or 'fox hunter'. So then did BROCAIR become an area where people lived in Scotland and thus they used the name BROCAIR literally like I have below. Were their Bocair Frasers and other surnames too? When I look the name BROCAIR up for a surname on the LDS site, my CD's and Rootsweb there are no BROCAIRS. Have I confused you with this. Sorry if I have but I am confused. Help please!

Just this week, I was able to find my husband's grandmother, Mary Ann Caroline DAVIS on the 1901 census, living with her widowed mother Lucy G DAVIS. I've done a lot of family research in England and Wales, but this is my first foray into Scotland. On the 1901 online Greenwich census, Mary's age was 20 and her place of birth was given as Scotland. Her mother Lucy was listed as being 47 years old, and born in Woolwich. All of Mary's younger siblings on the census were born in Greenwich. There are no siblings on the 1901 census older than Mary living in the household, so I don't know if there are older children who also may have been born in Scotland. Prior to finding the family on the 1901 census, I knew nothing of Mary's background or relatives except that on her marriage certificate (Feb 1902), her father's name was listed as Robert and that she had lived in Greenwich prior to getting married. Her marriage took place in Blackheath. A couple of other researchers have tried to find Mary and family on the 1881 census for England, but haven't been successful. It may be that the family resided in Scotland during the 1881 census. Mary would have been about 4 or 5 months old during the 1881 census. What is the best way to proceed in finding out more about Mary and her family? I feel kind of stuck without knowing what town or county in Scotland she was born in, so I don't know where to begin my search. I also do not know where her father was born, or where or when her parents got married. I have tried looking on the IGI to no avail. Is there an online resource similiar to freeBMD for Scotland? Thanks in advance for any help. Patricia Rowley Las Vegas USA
