Hi All, I'm seeking information on a Munro family property and its present owners at Fort William. The ancestors of these folk were connected to some Sinclairs who went to South Australia in 1839 on the Palmyra. Any information on this Fort William property and its current owners would be greatly appreciated. With thanks, John McIntyre.

What do you want to know about the place? If you know its address, simply write to it, the folks will either respond or not. If not, then you have to respect their privacy. regards Jill Bowis www.benderloch.org.uk/forum - One Place Study on Ardchattan history, geology, ecology, genealogy, weather, webcam, local forum www.kintaline.co.uk - where we are, what we do: Kintaline Plant and Poultry Centre www.bowis.co.uk - all our family trees and a One Name Study on Bowis

In 1841 there were only 5 MUNROs in Fort William : (widow) Sarah MUNRO (50) + Margaret (20) and Alexander (13) in the 2nd row, Low St., Fort William - long demolished Peter MUNRO (44) Independant on the low side of Main St., Fort William. He was staying with his brother-in-law Alex MELROSE and 3 of his, Alex's, 4 children. Alex was the widower of Jessie MUNRO. John MUNRO (55) Woolen Hand Loom Weaver - on the low side of Main St., Fort William Main St (now High St) numbers from 1 to 155 consisting of shops/offices with flats/apartments above them. http://www.panoramio.com/photo/11466473 and http://tinyurl.com/m6tq3o What is the connection with the SINCLAIRs who emigrated on the PALMYRA in 1839 none of whom, as far as I know, came from Fort William. The only SINCLAIR in Fort William in 1841 was Archibald (30) Procurator Fiscal born Inverness-shire.
