Hi All, I have found a document titled "Siol Eachairn". This document explains the origins of the stock clan and adds some apparently new and corroborating evidence for the origins of the clan to be in Kintyre. (Still trying to find out how my lot came to be in Morvern, but maybe St Columba can answer that one day) The document was written by one of my ancestors. It was published in 1933 for the Gaeilc Society of Inverness. The author, Rev Dugald McEchern was mentored and educated by Dr Alex. MacBain. I think if you are interested in our clan, then this is quite a document. Pls send me or the list an email if you would like a copy. Kind Regards Andrew McEachern

Hi All, Following is a listing of the McEachern men who were in Morvern in 1716. The NM numbers are grid ref numbers for the map locations. An n means not a rebel, an r means rebel and if they handed in any arms they were S sword, G gun, D durk, T target, P pistol. I hope the cut and paste formats OK.

The Brisbane Courier of 22 Sept 1887 printed a lengthy letter from Geo D Russel, an emigration agent who worked in Scotland persuading people of the benefits of emigration to the Colonies to people in Inverness and the Isles. It doesn't mention emigrant names. A further article also in the Brisbane Courier of 5th November 1892 provides more details of how an emigration agent worked the Yorkshire Ag Society show to persuade people that Australia was a place they should emigrate to. If you are interested in this subject see also, the Brisbane Courier of 16 October 1897 for details of how the agents caught the attention of possible emigrants. The Western Australia Times of 21 May 1878 provides commentary on the possible "false" information provided by emigration agents to "lure" people to Australia. These are interesting reads providing a bit of background to the work of emigration agents. The articles can be found on the National Library of Australia (nla.gov.au) site.

I am hoping to find info on the parents of ANGUS KERR born 1781 and married to JANET MCWILLLIAMS. I wonder if his parents were Archibald Kerr and Margaret Martin. Any info on Kerr's would be appreciated. Sometimes exclusion is the only way. Thank you, Moria

Unfortunately I'm looking for a male LIVINGSTONE whose place of death is not known other than it was in Scotland. His wife Elspeth m.s.

Interesting. I have decided to consider that Donald LIVINGSTON did not originate in Mull where his wife lived for a great deal of her life but she was brought there by her parents from Banff. Elspeth and her sister who was my Gt Gt Gt grandmother were born They made their way from Rathven and stayed in Edinburgh where a son was born 1812 and 1822 respectively and their baby brother Alexander born in 1833 and from there they went to Mull to take up the Inn at Salen. Their father was retired from the military at that time. Alexander found a wife in Edinburgh and took her back to Mull, so its reasonable to consider that Elspeth b 1812 found her husband, Donald LIVINGSTON in mainland Scotland. Their son James was born about 1833 but I know not where as yet for that may be a good clue.

I'm afraid I can't shed any light on the query that initiated this discussion and can probably only add to the confusion. My interest is in Janet Cameron who married David McPherson, location unknown, c1820. She and David produced six children in the area between 1822 and 1833. The third of these, Donald, (my wife's great grandfather) was baptised at Acharacle in 1826. Not sure about the others but IGI locates them in Scotstown, which shows the family lived in that general area. I know nothing about David or Janet's origins and have only joined this thread in the hope that other postings may provide some clues. the older of the tworobbos at Bairnsdale, Victoria, OZ

I cant specifically say I have been able to find anything much at all about Cameron's from that area. They have remained a mystery, but my connection is through Margaret Cameron b abt 1791 who m Alexander Macvean in 1812 at Achnellan. her parents from her death certificate were Alexander Cameron & Anne Cameron. Other names that turn up are Duncan Cameron who owed money at the time or Alexander Macvean's death and which was accepted by Allan Cameron sometime residing at Resipole, Strontian. Their son Hugh Macvean m Marjory Cameron of Aharacle at Ardgour (the other side of the mountains where Hugh & family lived) in 1852. Camerons of that lot came to Victoria as did the majority of the descandants of the Macveans. I descend from one of those Macveans, many of whom had property in Victoria as squatters and otherwise. They eventually spread further out through nSW, Qld & WA. The Camerons of Hugh's wife's family ended up largely in Nagambie at a place they called Polloch, and indeed as they died out the asset seemed to largely pass to their neice Anne Isabella Macvean who m Francis Wellington Were. So while I cant make a connection, I really wonder how they might fit with the Camerons that are part of the Macvean connections??

According to the IGI, Hugh Cameron (b 1812) and Catherine Livingstone (b 1800) had two children at Aharacle (actually Acharacle?). They were Jane on 18/2/1832 and Alexander on 27/10/1833. Does anyone recognise or know anything of this family? I suspect, but can't prove, that they eventually emigrated to Australia and settled near Mount Gambier, near the border of Victoria and South Australia. I also suspect that this same Catherine Livingstone may have been previously married to James Cameron (who died 1827) and had a son by him, also called James, who was b 1822 at either Strontian or Glenborrodale, and who emigrated from Tobermory to Australia in 1839 aboard the British King, along with his future wife, Katherine McEachern and her family. This James eventually settled in the Western District of Victoria, became a fairly successful squatter and is thought to have later brought his mother, step-father and half-sister Jane out to Australia - presumably the Hugh Cameron, Catherine Livingston and Jane, mentioned above, but as I said above, I'm durned if I can prove any of this. I live in hope that one day I might be able to unravel this little puzzle and would be very grateful if anyone can help. Don Sutherland
