Mary, Could it be Senr., abbreviation for Senior? I have a name in my records that is written John Baillie Sen + high r which I know meant Senior since his son John Baillie lived nearby.

Hello Peggy Glad to hear you retrieved your data. If you've not already made headway down this road, I would add that even googling Strachur + Montgomery turns up an address for Cathy M who, I understand, still runs the Strachur Smiddy Museum these days and maybe even the post office. One of these days I hope to get round to mailing her myself on local family history. I'm sending this reply to all the addresses on your mail, as I'm unclear of the status of the one from which yours originated.

I certainly have quite a few among my ancestors and generally feel that all the Cowal and beyond branches must have been connected somewhere up or down the line. I understand Duncan Beaton has written some really worthwhile articles on the McKellars. I still want to read them myself, if I knew where to apply for them. Maybe Duncan or someone else could point me in the right direction. And perhaps you would find them interesting, too. I wouldn't expect Ross-shire to be an obvious port of call for Agnes/Anne, unless she married a Daniel/Donald Ross from that part of the country, maybe a cattle drover or someone else who got about a bit. And maybe the marriage would have been recorded in parishes in Argyll and Logie Ross-shire? Names: I'm no expert, but I understand and experience has shown me that Agnes and Anne were often interchangeable and so certainly possible on different records for one and the same person. If I come across anything I'll let you know.

There's enough information on that 1861 census return alone to point you in the right direction. As I read it, it is not the Montgomerie family, but the Keddie family in Peebles: John and Martha Keddie and their daughter Ann and a servant. Nephew John is also in the house, an apprentice flesher born Strachur c 1846. If you want to know more about John's background, the 1851 census for Strachur shows the Montgomery family in Clachan Strachur, grandfather William Montgomery head 75 born Perthshire, Dugald and Jane Montgomery son and daughter in law, children Dugald, John and William aged 3, 7 and 5, and a servant Margaret Kerr 15. It gives Clachan Strachur as the address, but does indicate that that William and Dugald the elder were smiths, so the smithy is a likely spot. In 1861, the couple who would seem to be John's parents, Dugald and Jane Montgomery, are still at Clachan Strachur with several of their children, but Dugald is now recorded as Postmaster; John is absent but has clearly moved on to Peebles. Then: the IGI turns up marriage proclamations for :- John Keddie and Martha Montgomery in Peebles and Strachur in July/August 1837 Dugald Montgomery and Jane McKenzie at Strachur March 1840; I imagine there's a fair chance these are John's parents. Much of this information can be verified and expanded by viewing the records on sites like Scotland's People and Ancestry.co.uk. And, to this day, I believe there are Montgomerys in the Strachur area who are or have been connected with the Smithy and Post Office . You can probably find out more about the locations and the buildings on the internet. The documents alone will give plenty of scope for following the fortunes of these and related families.

I had similar questions about my ancestors in Perthshire it may be worth bearing the following in mind. Mine were from Perthshire but went through Ross-shire and mid 1800s they were in Sutherland at the Caithness border. I was curious until I realised that all the places they settled or stayed were crucial points along the cattle droving roads: most of them were cattle drovers, dealers and fleshers. I noted that your John Montgomery maybe came from a family of smiths, but he by 1861 he was an apprentice flesher/butcher/cattle man in Perthshire. There was amazing mobility up and down these drove roads. No guarantees, but a fair chance these trails may have had something to do with John's meeting his wife from Caithness. Census returns and old parish records may tell you more about the movements of your families and it's amazing how they got around, especially these cattle people, even if they were more settled as the nineteenth century proceeded.

Hello, all ! :) Does anyone know of the ancestry of Archibshop Archibald GRAHAM, alias McILVERNOCK. Before his elevation to the Episcopal Archbishopic of the Isles, Achibald was in Rothsay in Bute. Archbishop GRAHAM was styled - at least in the references to him I've seen - "of Oib." Archibald in supposed to have been born in or around Kilbride (I'm guessing Kilbride of Lorne - though, I could be mistaken). Thank you for any help offered. Kelly Paul Graham Houston, Texas

hi folks i am new to this list. i am not quite sure how to post. so here goes.... and thankyou for your time My great grandfather James Ferguson emigrated with John Watson to Australia in 1855 aboard the ship John Davies. the ships records below state that James was 23 and John was 46. That would make the birth years as follows: james ferguson dob 1832 john watson dob 1809 WATSON John 46 or WALTON John Davies 1855 FERGUSON James 23 John Davies 1855 When arriving in brisbane queensland australia, they set up a printing company called Watson and Ferguson, which is still operating today. i am interested in tracing their ancestors ... my mother, (grand daughter of james ferguson) says james is from ARGYLL might anyone here have any clues for me? marion

I have just joined this list as a result of following a trail that started in East Dereham, Norfolk, with the marriage in 1867 of a twig on my tree to a Grace MACKIE, born Scotland. The trail led to another marriage, this time in Cullen, Banff, Scotland, viz: Colin ADGE married Isobel DAVIDSON on 5 Jun 1798 in Cullen. I can continue the trail via Isobel without problems ( Scotlandspeople and Family Search) but have drawn a complete blank with Colin (Scotlandwide). In the marriage entry he is described as a "Soldier in the 5th Argyleshire Fencible Regiment (sic)" and stated as producing a certificate from the commanding officer at Cullen that he is a single man and under immediate marching orders. >From a brief history of 'Fencible Regiments' it appears that the 5th Argyllshire was raised principally in Argyll by the head of the Campbells. Can anyone offer anything that might help in tracing Colin ADGE? For example, is ADGE (or variant) an Argyll name and is there a source (other than Scotlandpeople) available for researching appropriate records? My thanks for reading thus far and for any help you may be able to offer. Cheers, Cliff of Coventry

Looking for Apprentice Records for Argyll of a young man age 16 in 1762. The information I have is that he went to sea "in the Jamaica Trade as Apprentice" for 4 years. His place of birth was the Parish of Southend (Kilblaan), Kintyre, Argyll. Also, what was the "Jamaica Trade" and are there any records, apprentice or others, that might provide information for mariners. Jean Casper jacasper@execpc.com

I'm trying to find my family of BEATON'S who all came from GAIGAN in Killean ( I still cannot find it on any map) and wonder if any kind person with access to the Killean births could look them up for me please. I assume the three births will be about the 1780's and I need to know if they are related or possibly siblings. Parents names are not known I'm afraid .

I am interested in finding some information on the BLACKs of Lismore. My grgrgr grandmother was Isabella BLACK daughter of Duncan BLACK & Elizabeth MacKENZIE. Isabella BLACK was born 1786 and married John MacLEAN in 1808 in Glasgow. Isabella had 3 sisters from her father's first marriage. From her father's second marriage she had 4 brothers & one more sister. I know that Allan BLACK was born 1796 & died 1878 in Lismore. He married and had at least 7 children.

The ever busy Ian Scott has completed indexes all the Coll Old Parish Register marriages from 1776 to 1855 in searchable Excel format. The two indexes, 1776-1820 and 1821-1855, are now available on the Isle of Coll Genealogy website at www.collgenealogy.com . My thanks to Ian for another great piece of work, generously shared. ____________________________________ Keith Dash Sydney, Australia Isle of Tiree Genealogy www.tireegenealogy.com Isle of Coll Genealogy www.collgenealogy.com

Hello List, I remember a few years ago someone looking for their ancestor Lachlan McNeill. I have recently discovered that my ggg-aunt on Gigha married Archibald McNeill son of Lachlan McNeill and Grace ....... on Gigha 1820. The only place I have Archibald's parents' names from is his death certificate and he died aged 83 so it is not certain that his parents were Lachlan and Grace but I suppose it is likely. So I've been searching for sons and daughters to Lachlan McNeills in the late 18th century. If anyone is searching for this name I'll be happy to share. As yet I have not found Lachlan and Grace. Best regards, Mary

Many thanks for looking up for me. I found them back in 1861, 1871, 1881 and 1891 when Ann McKIRDY is aged 65 yrs., but I am presently having difficulties with 1901. Initially I looked for the family in IGI using John and Ann VANCE - I couldn't find the marriage - but it turned up children and two who may have died in infancy and didn't find Williamina, or Minnie as she was named in 1891. I had a feeling somehow that the surname might be called WHYTE because I'm sure I've it spelled that way in the name of an Informant of the death of one of the family. They were living at 109 Glebe Street in 1881 and by this time she was Minnie McKIRDY. Thanks for your help The McKIRDY name seems to be in an abundance in Bute.

I am interested in the McKIRDY name in that it was the name of my grandfather's second wife, who died whilst aborting a child. She was Williamina White McKIRDY b abt 1871, as she died aged 41 yrs. in 1912. Her parents were John McKIRDY who was a Blacksmith and Ann maiden surname VANCE. I've not pursued her parents' families. I do not know where Williamina was born. She died at Govanhill, a District of Glasgow and since my Grandmother's family came from Mull perhaps its not unreasonable to think that the McKIRDY name was a local Argyll name; maybe someone will say.
