My gggrandmother's name is Isabella McInnes. Her death certificate says that she was born in Argylshire and her parents names are Donald McInnes and Isabella McPherson and that she was 72 years of age at her death in 1908. > > It would seem then that Isabella was born in 1836. Oral tradition says she was left an orphan and was brought up in the family of Duncan McInnes (who was supposed to be her uncle - but this doesn't seem all that likely - more likely a cousin). > > Isabella accompanied Duncan and others of Duncan's family to Australia on the ship named the Blonde from Scotland which arrived in Sydney 28 Dec 1849. According to the shipping records Duncan was then 22 yrs of age and Isabella was 15 (although she should have only been 13 if she was born in 1836) > > Duncan's parents were Peter & Ann McInnes and Duncan was born in 1826 in Fort William, Blaich, Ardgour, Argylshire. ( Or according to the IGI - in Kilmallie) > > I cannot find birth records for any of the other people in the IGI. > > I wonder if anyone out there has any ideas that might help me to track some of these people down. I'm not sure where to go from here. > > Thanks for taking the time to read all this. > > Glenda Peterson > Australia > > > > ==== SCT-ARGYLL Mailing List ==== > **************************************************************** > Please remember to send ALL list mail to SCT-ARGYLL-L@rootsweb.com >
