Would anyone be able to look up 1841 & 1851 census data for a Robert Gentle. Some of his children were born in Dunfermline, Fife and the rest were born in Bolshire & Dores, Inverness. His wife's name was Sarah. Robert was born late 1700's and married 1827. Hopefully this will be enough info to find him! Many thanks for any help.

Surnames: Beaton Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/TeC.2ACE/1385 Message Board Post: I am looking for information about The family of George Alexander Beaton retired Storeman who died in Inverlochy in the district of Kilmallie on the 26th December 1950 aged 78. And his wife Beatrice Elizabeth Beaton, maiden name Mair who died at Inverlochy on the 17th April 1948 aged 69. They had a son James Beaton who lived in Edinburgh in 1950.

I am gathering information about my family's origins in Scotland and since my maiden name was also Clunas I'm hoping to direct my enquiry to someone else in the Clunas family who might have knowledge of a connection to distant Canadian relatives. I'm looking for ancestors and/or descendants of my great-grandparents, Andrew Clunas and Catherine McPhail. who were married on February 15th, 1838 at ‘Daviot and Dunlichity, Inverness’. "In 1861 Mr. Clunas moved from Daviot to Strathdearn where he settled down as tenant of Glenmazeran Home Farm where he lived with his family till his death on the 16 of August 1890 at the ripe age of 81" [This quote taken from his obituary in the Northern Chronicle in 1890.] Andrew and Catherine had nine children: Marjory, b.May 9, 1839; Duncan, b.July 3, 1840; Angus, b.June 27, 1944; Elizabeth b.May 24, 1846; John b.April 11, 1848; Janet b.October 17, 1849; Andrew b.August 17, 1851; Catherine b.September 9, 1853 and Donald b.March 17, 1856. My grandfather was Andrew Clunas Jr, and he married Mary Grant December 5th, 1880 in the Free Church of Scotland in Cromdale, Inverness. My father was the youngest of their ten children and he was born in 1904 in Manitoba, Canada. Andrew and Mary Clunas had emigrated to Canada in 1901 with their children (although two daughters had emigrated a year or two previous to this) and eventually settled on homestead land in Glenbush, Saskatchewan in 1907.

Hi June, Have you tried asking Marie Fraser of the Fraser Association in Canada? She is a great source of information.

Does anyone have any ideas how I can find the birth for Roderick (c. 1802)? His parents are Alexander McINTOSH and Catherine McLEAN. He married Helen McINNES who states on censuses that she was born on the Isle of (written White) Whyte ? and Ireland. I have no idea where Roderick and Helen married Their first child was born in 1829. Their six children were all born in Inverness. Roderick died in Inverness on Oct.20,1862. I did search Scots Origins and couldn't find Roderick's birth. I would really appreciate any suggestions. Thank you. Regards, Lynda Rimas

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/TeC.2ACE/1384 Message Board Post: I am very interested in a Scottish name Cabeen. My ancestors were Cabeens. It is an unusual name. Name books for Scotland do not contain it. I have consulted the columnist at the "Scottish Banner" and he had not heard of it. I found two theories as to the origins of this unusual name. One theory is that it is a variant on the name MacBean/MacBain likely adopted after Culloden. As this theory goes the holders of this name were persons who once were members of the clan and changed their name perhaps to avoid persecution. One individual was born in the 1700's in Scotland as William MacBain but on coming to the US changed it to William Cabeen saying that he did so because the clan no longer existed. The second theory is put forth by a little museum in the US which states that the Cabeens were an ancient clan in the territory of Arran. They are said to have had a manor and estates there and that their chief always was known as Constable of the Breffnys. I have a scan of their chi! ef's supposed coat of arms which I will send to interested parties. They argue that MacCabe, McAbe and MacAbe are variant spellings of the old clan name Cabeen. I would appreciate any help in determining the origins of this peculiar Scottish name. I look forward to receiving help in resolving this matter or pointing me towards persons who can help me resolve it. Will Slater Ohio, USA

Hello list: I just joined this list and hope it is the correct one for the above name. I have Donald MACDONALD b. abt. 1803, Lewis, Scotland He married Euphemia MORRISON b. 1810 Lewis, Scotland. They came to Nova Scotia, Canada in 1828. It states on her headstone that she came with her parents so I guess they weren't married at the time. They settled at Estmere in Cape Breton. I would sure like to find a long lost cousin in Scotland. Is there a town on the Isle of Lewis called Lewis or does Lewis mean the island? I look forward to hearing from you. Evelyn in very wet Cape Breton.

Hi Listers, Would anyone know if Lord Salisbury had an estate in the Inverness area about 1860? Regards, June Queensland
