Greetings. I have ancestors from around there, too. According to the IGI your Effy Henderson and Donald McMaster were married on 06 Jun 1798 in the Parish of Kilmonivaig which fits well with the 1803 dob of Agnes McMaster. My ancestors possibly linked to that mob were as follows: John McMaster was born about 1761/1762 in Tomacharich, Inverness, Scotland. He died in May 1844 in Kilmonivaig, Inverness, Scotland. He was buried in Inverlochy burial ground. John married Margaret McPherson. Margaret was born about 1768/1769. She died in Aug 1857 in Kilmonivaig, Inverness, Scotland. She was buried in Inverlochy burial ground. Quite likely the two families were related. The 1841 census shows a Henderson family living at the Tomacharich farm, along with lots of Camerons and one McMaster family (my lot above) and one McDonald family. David (also in Canberra!)

Hello David, It's a small world when I find you living here in Canberra too. Many thanks for your help. This is definately the right family as from the 1881 census my Agnes McMaster was born in Kilmonivaig.
