Someone on the lists requested a ships list look up for McQuarrie. I am sorry I have lost your original request but have checked the list and there are no McQuarries. Joan

Her Death Certificate and Notice Read: On 6th Aprill, 1927 at 11pm at Medical Aid Home, 1 Bedford Street, Greenock (usual residence: 13 Brougham Street) Margaret McLeod (Widow of John McLeod-Shoemaker) died aged 88: daughter of Hector McIntosh and Marion McIntosh m/s McCrae (deceased). .Certified by William Matheson (?) Son in law, 13 Brougham Street. (The McLeods moved from Bracadale, the census of 1881 has them living at 44 Lynedoch Stree, Greenock.....) I would appreciate any information at all on the Matheson (may be spelled differently) or McLeod familly...Thanks...Penni

Hi Judy, I notice that one of your McBeans married somebody with the same surname as his mother's maiden name. This is very common in my family, who I think may have tended to marry relatives - I know that at least one couple were first cousins. My McDonalds are to complicated to set out as they are so interrelated but the details of the McDonald/McKenzie connection are: Cathrin McDonald (dau. of Duncan McDonald in Aldozy) m Murdoch McKenzie in 1803 Children: Kenneth 1803 Janet 1805 m Duncan McDonald (son to Alexander McDonald) in 1831 Mary 1815 Ann 1818 Ann 1820 They probably had other children between 1805 and 1815 but I haven't been able to find them. Children of Duncan McDonald and Janet McKenzie Catherine 1832 Alexander 1837 Kenneth 1839 m Mary McMillan (daughter to John McMillan & Christian McDonald) in 1865 Janet 1842 I would like to just ask if anybody has any information on another of my McDonalds. Angus McDonald from Urray, Ross & Cromarty married Catherine McMillan from Urquhurt, Inverness in 1850 but I haven't been able to trace a birth entry or parents for either of them. If anybody has come across them in their searches could they please let me know. Thanks.

Hi Jane, I haven't been able to trace them yet but I have a vague recollection that his marriage entry states his father to be Murdo also, although I don't seem to have included this in my database. I will check the actual certificate when I get home this evening and let you know.

Hello Jane, I think this could be my Murdoch McKenzie who was living in Daviot when his daughter, Janet, married in 1831. He married Cathrin McDonald from Aldozy in 1803 in Urquhart & Glenmoriston. As witnesses were often relatives it seems possible that there could be a connection between the McGillivray/McBeans and the McKenzie/McDonalds.

Hello all I am looking for descendants of 'James the Moon' FRASER. James lived in Bunloit around 1881/1891. I believe that the byname was passed down through the family and that there are descendants living today in Inverness. The last one known was 'Peter the Moon' who visited either Bunloit or Milton Drumnadrochit two years ago. Hope that someone can help me to find this family. regards Julie Meereek Australia.

In the late 18c. the Chisholm brothers, John and Aeneas, continued the Strathglass Mission. In 1792 John was made Bishop of the Highland region and in 1814 his brother succeeded him. During his time in the Strathglass Mission, Aeneas Chisholm built a grander church at Fasnakyle to replace the little chapel at Clachan Comar (opened in 1801), which was soon followed by larger Marydale in 1868. Source material "The Catholic Highlands of Scotland", Dom Odo Blundell O.S.B. Any further details on John and Aeneas as well as their family would be appreciated. Are they cousins of Bishop William Fraser ? Thanks , Hugh

I recently attended the opening of a new school in Mabou, Inverness County, Nova Scotia. The school opening of "Dalbrae Academy" was accompanied by Bagpipes, Fiddles, Dancing and Gaelic singing. Attached to the program was a list of Dalbrae Academy Staff. I thought that readers of this list may find it interesting in that much of this part of Inverness County was settled by former residents of Lochaber - and that several hundred years (more or less) later - the staff list could be for a school in Spean Bridge, Fort William, Fort Augustus, or any number of Highland communities.

Dear Marilyn, Did you manage to get any information about fishing in early 19th century? The notebooks of Baillie John Stuart provide much information on this subject in early 18th century. I would be interested in anything too in 19th century, particularly concerning Scots in the area of London. 'Fishings' or fishing rights attached to properties were sold and appear in the books of saisine I believe.

With some new members on the lists thought I would let you know again that I have an 1870 passenger list from Glasgow to the Port of Quebec if anyone is interested. Joan

Hello Joan: Could I ask if there are 3 boys by the name of Mc/MacLellan on your passenger list. I have found they left North Uist in 1870 for Canada but cannot locate them anywhere. Their first names were William, Alexander & Donald all brothers. Any help would be appreciated. Lorraine Ottawa, Canada

The book "Skye Pioneers and The Island" by Malcolm A. MacQueen, which was written in 1929, lists a few MacKensie's which may be descendents of Murdock MacKenzie on Prince Edward Island. My grandmother saved her copy of this book, but I recently purchased a reprint from Scotpress, a division of Unicorn Limited, Inc. P.O. Box 397, Bruceton Mills, West Virginia 26525. I would recommend this book to anyone whose ancestors traveled to PEI in the 1800's since it gives some interesting history of the people and the area. I would love to hear from any descendents of John Martin from Stenscholl, Skye who traveled with his wife Catherine MacDonald of Snizort, Skye and three of their seven children to PEI in 1829. His son Samuel Martin married Sarah, daughter of James Campbell who had earlier emigrated to PEI in 1803. Julie Martin Vermont, USA

My ancestor, William Fraser Sr. (1773-1838) left "Bonevinity" in July 1807 with his wife Jennet Davidson and their young boy Thomas. A month later, they departed Greenock for America. They settled originally in Johnstown, NY and later moved to Livingston County in western NY. Does anyone on the list know anything about this place called "Bonevinity"? My best guess is that it is a farm or croft name in the general area of Kingussie, Alvie, or Rothiemurchus, even though it does not really sound like a farm name. William and Jennet's son Thomas was christened in Alvie Parish Church in 1804. At that time, the couple lived at Lynwilg Farm, a mile or two from Alvie. Thanks in advance for ANY comments regarding the above, but particularly regarding the possible location of "Bonevinity." Paul Fraser
