Liz There seems to be no Rootsweb list for Elgin equivalent to this one for Argyll, but you might find it worthwhile to investigate Rootsweb's SCT-NECOAST list, which has a slightly broader coverage, describing itself as "A mailing list for anyone with a genealogical interest in the fishing villages on the northeast coast of Scotland, from Nairn to the southern boundary of Kincardine including Aberdeen, and their connection with the sea". In case it helps, the county in which Elgin is located has been called at different times both Elginshire and Morayshire.

Is this the Dunoon in Argyll ? Agnes married William WHYTE born 1825, Kippen. They migrated to Australia about 1860-63 and settled in Glebe Sydney. Their children were Mary Locke WHYTE born 1853, William Inglis WHYTE 1857, Robert Inglis WHYTE 1859, Charles J WHYTE 1864-66, Alfred G WHYTE 1867-1918, Wilhelmina T WHYTE 1869, Arthur Robert WHYTE 1872-1874 Diane Cole Rydalmere Sydney NSW

Several weeks ago someone posted a query about the Hall family of Southend. I would like to contact that person, but now I cannot find the posting. I am a descendant of Janet Hall of Southend. I have sketchy information about a couple of Robert Halls and James Halls of Southend and have pieced together a tentative family tree based on information from Keil Cemetery and other records. I would be happy to exchange information. Janet Morrison

Hello all, Can anyone help with the descendants of John CURRIE and Janet McKAY ? My ancestor was their daughter Janet b 9 Mar 1828 Morvern married (1) 22 Dec 1848 to John Lawrence REID in Morvern, second marriage Norman McINTYRE 1873 in Cardross d 1 Mar 1912 Cardross, Dumbartonshire The IGI shows several children of John CURRIE and Janet McKAY: Hector CURRY b 3 Sep 1809 Torosay Murdoch CURRY b 11 Jun 1807 Torosay Cirsty CURRIE b 6 Apr 1814 Morvern Male (no name) CURRIE b 22 Dec 1817 Morvern Anne CURRIE b 26 Aug 1821 Morvern Peggy CURRIE b 29 Oct 1826 Morvern Janet CURRIE b 9 Mar 1828 Morvern My ancestor Janet also had a brother Alexander, and probably a sister Sarah I've seen the Morvern OPR film - matches the IGI, but have not yet seen the OPR film for the births listed in Torosay. 1851 census for Morvern in the Village of Lochaline Enum Div 6 Janet REID Head Mar 23 Ag Lab Wife Arg Morvern Janet REID Dau -- 1 1/4 Arg Morvern (John Lawrence Reid was not with his family for this census, presume he was away working?)

Janet McKAY's parents are listed as John McKAY and Mary m/s McPHERSON John CURRIE's parents are listed as Malcolm CURRIE and Sarah m/s McDONALD Can anyone help with these people?

On the 1841 census (Morvern, section 4) I find Donald McIntyre, schoolmaster, living at Claigin, which had 2 households at the time. Two years earlier, his location had been given as Claigan. Those must be the same with allowance for spelling variation. Now all I can find on maps is a place called Claggan, near Lochaline. Would this be the same place? Was there a school there or nearby? Can anyone fill me in on the place? Judith Port Moody, BC, Canada

Keep in mind that "N" was perfectly legitimate. It was the abbreviation for Nic, the feminine of Mac/Mc, and meant "daughter of" in Gaelic. My own great-great was listed as Isable, and was Isabella in later life. My MacNivens were listed in at least one census as Niven. And my great-gran MacDougall was born MacDougald, sometimes spelled McDougal, McDugald, MacDugald, etc. Happy hunting! Sheila

See original message way below - or delete if of no interest to you. I said I would try to find some of the file I had from Ancestry.com. Here is just a sampling, which shows what a variety of spellings might be used. These are some of the "tamer" variants. It makes searching some data bases very difficult, even using wildcards~ Maybe someone will find a worthwhile bit here. Happy to searching to all.

Hi Jimmy Thanks for that correction. I appreciate the help especially as I've just started researching in this area and am not familiar with the names.

Hi All Im looking for Alexander Blair (Farmer) married Jane Breckenridge in 1700s don't know the year they had a son George born around 1796 died 6th may 1871 age 75 McDonald's Land Inverary (both deceased when George died) So any information on Alexander or Jane would be great I think its around the Inveraray area ????( Blair could have been spelt different then one of the ones iv got is balir)

Looking for other researchers interested in the same families I.e, Hugh McPherson, Lergiechoniemore,Craignish father of Malcolm McPherson born 29 July 1758 who married Florence Campbell also known as Flora or Flory at Craignish 1788. Malcolm & Flory had Hugh Mcpherson born Upper carran 1794 Kilmichael Glassary. Hugh married Annabella Livingstone of Maltland,Inveraray at Craignish 1819.
