Hi. I am new to the list and I am looking for information regarding Cononbridge. Does anyone know of this village? Thanks, Margaret

Bill, Wherever you are doesn't matter - I will be praying for you and your wife as well. God hears prayer and He deals with each and every one in His own time and in His own way. Be it unto her according to His will. God bless. AEnone in Tasmania.

I just saw an interview on the TODAY show,with two lads from Inverness who have started a company that provides excuses to people. They are making a fortune and the whole thing started at a pub when one of the lads needed an excuse to get off work for a football, (soccer) game, and thus an empire has been built. Trust an Invernesian to build a network of chancers. Dave M.

Good morning... In late Feb. my family hopes to visit the Highlands. It is a dream of mine to see Culloden, Inverness, etc. Can anyone tell me what kind of weather we might expect? Is it possible to get a tour or a private driver that time of year? Any suggestions of places we must see? Our family descends from the MacBeans. Sure would love to hear from SKS who can help a novice traveler! Thank you! Pam S. Columbus, Ohio

Bill, I wish you and your wife well, and will pray for you both in your hard times. Ruth Edwards Australia

Jane: I am extremely interested in all Scot Walkers. My family was quite early, arriving in Baltimore, Maryland by 1748 and receiving a land grant from Lord Baltimore which the family retained until the 1960s. From Baltimore, the Walker descendants spread out to Tennessee, South Carolina, Mississippi, Kentucky, and Texas. These Walkers were really quite enterprising and gifted people. My Walker names were Isaac, Nathan, Benjamin, Ezekial, Hezekiah -- all quite Biblical, and not very Scot. However, I see that your family names, with the exception of Alexander, are not very "Scot." If you discover anything whatsoever, I will be glad to share my information with you. I would love to know who your Alexander's father was.

Hello, I am new to this list and looking for ancestors with the above surnames, all which were reported to me by my Grandmother to have come from Scotland. There a few footnotes she has added to the "tree" specifying Inverness as "home". Specifically, Thomas GRANT married Jane WALLACE whose mother was Jane LOWREY. Also, I have Murdoch GILLIES (born 1814, Inverness) as having married Sarah MCNEIL whose father was Hector McNEIL. Lastly, I have John RODGER marrying Ann ? and his parents were William and Elizabeth RODGER. If there are any connections out there, I would like to hear from you. If anyone has any lookup data to share, I'd be very appreciative. I can certainly share my lines with anyone interested. Thank you, Rodger Airey

Dear George, Many thanks for the information you gave which was interesting. I suppose it was Alexander the son who bought the plots because his father died in 1868. I have been to Auldearn cemetery and copied down as many Walker inscriptions as I could but in the end the bitter wind drove me away. Given that Alexander didn't look married in 1870s, I wonder why he should have bought twelve plots. Perhaps for future generations. Would you have any information about Ann Macarthur Souter, and her daughter Hamilton Campbell who married William Barclay, the well-loved minister of the free church at Auldearn? They too are all buried in Auldearn, in the enclosure for Brodies and Dunbars. Ann Macarthur was the Macgillivray heiress!

Dear Listers, Two sisters of my gr-gr-grandfather John Macgillivray married two brothers, Hugh and William Tulloch, sons of John Tulloch and Elizabeth Thomson of Dyke and then Cawdor. William Tullock and Ann lived in Islington, London where he was a Cocoa and chocolate manufacturer. Their children were William born in the mid 19th century: William, Hugh, Duncan, Charlotte, Elizabeth, Henrietta (1881 census). There were other children not on the census, a John who may have been Dr. John Tulloch of Tobago. I don't know whether William's brother and Ann's sister, Hugh and Elspet Tulloch of Surrey, then Edinburgh had any children. Would be very interested if anybody connected with these two Tulloch families. Jane

Dear Listers, There was a family of Walkers in Auldearn in 19th century. Alexander Walker was born in Monquhitter in 1796 or 97, and married Eliza Clark (daughter of Clarks of Auldearn and McLellan or McLaren). The couple had several children, John born 1847, Ann Watson1850, Alexander 1852, Elizabeth Clark 1854, Thomas James 1855, Margaret 1857 and Mary 1860. The 1881 census shows that only Alexander and Margaret were living in Brightmoney, Auldearn with their widowed mother. Either Alexander or his father Alexander senior were considered improving farmers and won prizes in the Nairnshire Agricultural show for their produce. Daughter Eliza married my great-grandfather and went to Tobago, where she died of a tropical disease at a young age. Daughter Annie married Allan McDonald and when she had her son Alexander in 1871 was living in Croy & Dalcross. I think her husband could therefore have been Allan McDonald born in Croy and Dalcross, son of John MacDonald and Anne Dunbar, in 1837. They may have emigrated after first child, because they are not in the 1881 census in GB. Alexander Walker of Monquhitter and Auldearn is in the LDS registers on line, three different entries - C reference for Christening in parish register, and two entries from Submissions made by relative Walker, these entries refer to Sealings for the Dead and Index of Heirs, and Endowments for the Dead. Does anybody know what these mean? The information was submitted by relative Walker, who I understand must therefore be a Mormon.

As perhaps George is already aware, a new edition of In the Shadow of Cairngorm was published in 1999, a hundred years after Forsyth finished the original work. How do I know this? I have a copy that I obtained through the editor of this new edition, John K. Campbell. John Campbell lives in the shadow of the Cairngorms himself at the Lynwilg Farm south of Aviemore. Should anyone wish to inquire about obtaining a copy of this volume, you may contact him directly at SeonaidhC@aol.com or at Bothan Publications, Lynwilg, Aviemore, Scotland PH22 1PZ Indeed, there are numerous references to GRANTs in the book, so I don't quite know where to start. Chapter XLVI, entitled "Rise of a Highland Village," is devoted entirely to the "burgh" of Cromdale and describes the GRANTs who inhabited the area. Patricia, if you have specific questions, feel free to follow-up with me. I am thinking that you will probably want your own copy of the book, in which case you can contact John Campbell. I can tell you that the book is a wonderful resource for anyone with an historical interest in the Badenoch and Strathspey area. Side note for people who are sensitive about commercially flavored e-mail on listservers: I have no financial interest in or business connection with the publisher or editor. Hope this helps, Paul Fraser, Minneapolis, USA Researching Frasers and Davidsons in the Alvie area near Aviemore.

Hi Dale, The short answer = (b) - i.e. connected with the Macphersons of Clunie. You might try tracking down Alan G Macpherson's 'The Posterity of the Three Brethren: A Short History of the Clan Macpherson', published by the Canadian Branch of the Clan Macpherson Association (I'm sure they'll have a web site) or, failing that, available at the Clan Macpherson Museum, Newtonmore, Inverness-shire, Scotland. Did your father have any other stories of your Macpherson ancestors? Best wishes, Paul. > Would SKS please explain to an ignorant Sassenach what it means to be a Cluny Macpherson. My Father always told us we were Cluny Macphersons and I am not quite sure that I fully understand what this means. Is it a) that one of our forebears was Cluny Macpherson or that b) we, as a family, belong to the Cluny branch of Macphersons? > > Thanks > Dale > geodale@bigpond.com ==================================== HIGHLAND HOMECOMINGS PROJECT http://www.scotweb.org/homecomings homecomings@scotweb.org Highland Folk Museum Duke Street Kingussie Inverness-shire PH21 1JG Scotland Tel: (local) 01540 662435 (international) 00 441 540 662 435 Fax: (local) 01540 661631 (international) 00 441 540 661 631
