Hi Everyone My ancestors left the area around Ballachulish to walk (most probably) to Inverness and onto Cromarty to meet the ship "Boyne" which took them to Australia in 1838/1839. I have heard that notices were in the "Inverness Courier" in 1838 notifying passengers when to go to Inverness to catch their ship. Is anyone able to check these for me or is their a online link to the old Inverness Courier papers. Was there a report of what happened on the ship? My ancestors who came to Australia were Alexander Cameron, b. c. 1801 (son of Donald Cameron and Janet McKinnon) and his wife Anne Henderson (daughter of Alexander Henderson and Flora Campbell) on the "Boyne" in 1838-39. Also Archibald Henderson (Anne's brother) and his wife Christina Cameron (daughter of Charles Cameron and Christina McKinnon) on the "Rodney" in 1853-54. James McPherson (son of Donald McPherson and Margaret McDonald from Isle of Skye) and his wife Jane Campbell (daughter of James Campbell and Catherine McMasters) sailed to Australia on the "Duncan" in 1838. Alexander CAMERON'S father, Donald CAMERON was a farmer in/around Ballachulish but I don't know whether he was alive in 1838. I am wondering whether he would be buried in a cemetery around Ballachulish (or Moy - Alexander was born in Moy). Are their many cemeteries around the Ballachulish or Moy areas. Is it easier to track his Mother, Janet (Jannet) McKINNON? I am wondering whether they stayed around the Ballachulish area were in the 1841 census. Can SKS check to see if they had Alexander had other siblings born from about 1801 onwards? I am trying to find the right piece of straw in the straw pile. Any help would be appreciated. Regards Heather.
