The passenger list of the "Flora McDonald", which sailed from Liverpool on 21/4/1852 and arrived at Portland, Victoria, on 18/8/1852 included 132 emigrants from Argyll. Unfortunately, the list is not more specific as to whereabouts in Argyll they came from. Two families, a total of 15 people, have been identified as coming from Coll, but the origins of the other 117 are unknown. Any information on emigrants from Argyll on the "Flora McDonald" would be much appreciated. _________________ Keith Dash Sydney, Australia

Greetings from Western Australia fellow listers, Wondering if anyone is rsearching this family or has information on this family? I have found 4 births in Torosay on IGI between 1799-1810. But I cannot find a marriage or what happened to the parents or children? Can anyone help please? TIA Regards, Nigel Boundy Researching all things BICE, BOUNDY, COATE, FLETCHER and RETALLACK. ____________________________________________________________________________________ The all-new Yahoo!

An extract from 'Am Muilech' November 2006 that might be of interest to those with connections with Lismore. A Tale from Lismore. The history of the remote Scottish island of Lismore has been recorded for the first time by local resident, Donald Black. Lismore boasted a populations a population of more than 1,700 in its heyday and played a key role in the lime burning industry. Today, it is home to just over 170 residents. The bilingual book Sgeulachd no Dha as an Lios ('A Tale or Two from Lismore'), has been published by the University of Strathclyde's Conservation and Development in Sparsely Populated Areas (CADISPA) project from Comann Eachdraidh Lios Mor (the Lismore Historical Society). The absorbing book, which includes recordings by the author on CD, range from the island's prehistoric monuments to its future. It provides a moving account of the clearance and emigrations of the nineteenth century, as well as island occupations and trades. Gaelic poetry and song and biographies of well known Lismore people, including the folklorist Alexander Carmichael. A Tale from Lismore retails at £14.99 and is distributed by the Lismore Historical Society, Comann Eachdraidh Lios Mor. The book was officially launched on 23rd October.

Hi List I was wondering if someone with obviously a better handle on geography can help me pin point a location. R E F L E U C H farm On a 1795 map of the whole of Scotland it is given as the only place name on the coast road between Killean and Corran, which latter is at the south end of West Loch Tarbert and was the place from which the ferry to Knapdale ran in those days. In 1851 census Refleuch farm was listed as 300 acres ______ So Would the proper property description be: County of Argyll, District of Kintyre, Largie Estates, Parish of Kilcalmonell & Kilberry , Refleuch Farm ? The Largie Estates owned by the MacDonald.... I had another note In 1617, Kilcalmonell parish was detached from the rest of Kintyre. It was passed from the Earl of Argyll to the Earl of Knapdale. Knapdale is on the north side of Tarbert Loch and includes the parish of Kilberry. So did it go from Earl of Argyll.....to Earl of Knapdale... then back ? As you can see I am missing something Cheery from Snowy Northern Ontario sheila stewart - lafleur

A while ago a getleman for ? this list contacted me and said he would look up some names for me,and I have not heard from him again. If he reads this could he contact me again? Chris in Melbourne

Hello List, My grandmother and great aunt were named Christy and Christy Janet on their birth certs.... on the census they were both Christina, and since then I found that Christy was called Teenie and Christy Janey was known as Jessie!!! plus I also have a Duncan/Daniel who caused me a lot of grief till I found out about the name switching......but who am I to talk, on my birth cert. I am Mary Elizabeth, but I am known as Betty! Best regards. John Sheather [email protected] 2006-10-01 Created with Foxmail 5.0 e-mail client.

another common variation of Agnes is Senga (backwards) Finlay / Philip are the same Ewan / Ian / John, etc can be interchangeable ----- Original Message ----- From: Sheila Lafleur To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, October 29, 2006 8:39 AM Subject: [ARGYLL] Donald /Daniel interchangeable first names? Hi List I was wondering if anyone on list knows... of interchangeable first names.. I have run across Jean - Jane.. to discover they are the same person now that jean/ Jane are interchangeable I wonder how many other first name are as well. Would the same apply also to Donald/ Daniel ? As these 2 names are confusing me in 2 different generations.

Iain/John and Marion/Sarah were often interchanged. _________________ Keith Dash Sydney, Australia

Yes I have several Donald/Daniel's in my family and they are interchange several times

Sheila It's not always easy to distinguish between (1) different names used interchangeably, like Donald/Daniel, (2) common shortenings, like Archibald/Archie, and (3) simple spelling variations, like Catherine/Catharine/Katherine/Katharine. Names that I have seen interchanged, which may belong to the first of these three categories, include Ann/Agnes/Nancy, Christian/Christina, Emily/Amelia, Janet/Jessie/Jean (as well as Jane), and Peter/Patrick. There are many others, I am sure.
