My Cameron line seems to have come to Edinburgh from Cromdale. John Cameron (b. XXXXX) moved to Liberton, Loanhead then Leith with his wife just around 1900. They had x children that I am aware of so far but believe there were more. Peter Fraser Cameron (b. 1895 born Grantown) – died in 1906 (aged 6) in Loanhead. Lewis Christopher Forbes Cameron (b. 1898 in Grantown) – married Catherine Liddle in 1921 in Edinburgh. He died in 1969 in East Fortune Hospital (although his usual residence was listed as Seafield Road, Leith). Catherine Jane Cameron (b. 1900 in Kyle of Lochalsh, Ross and Cromarty). Was married to William Gibson in Dundee in 1920. Died in Redbraes Place, Edinburgh in 1951. John Alexander Cameron (b 1902 in Lasswade) died aged 3 months in Loanhead. There was then a gap of 10 years before another child – were there any other children ???? James Russell Cameron (b 1912 in Leith) – this is my grandfather. Married Alice Eccles in 1933. Died in 1970 in Edinburgh. The father’s father was Louis (or Lewis) Cameron (b. 1849 in Kirkmichael). He had John to Jessie Grant (b. 1831 in Cromdale) but they never appear to have married. I am really confused as to what happened to Louis. He shows in 1881 on the census living with his parents (aged 32) in Cromdale – occupation saddler. I can then find no trace of him from there. HELP!!!! Louis’s father was John Cameron (b. 1812 in Cromdale) and his mother Margaret Fraser (b. 1820 in Kirkmichael). They married in 1838 in Kirkmichael. The IGI shows a number of children born to John Cameron and Margaret Fraser in both Kirkmichael and Cromdale and I think there must be more than one couple involved as there are births which are too close together for one couple to be involved. If anyone has access to the 1841, 1851 census records and can find this family I would be interested to know who their children were. The above John Cameron’s father was Lewis Cameron (or Lawson) - (b. 1795 in Cromdale) and his wife (Johns’ mother) was Grace Grant (b. ????). They appear to have had other Children James (b. 1810), Thomas (b. 1816) , Alexander (b. 1819) and Ann (b. 1821). If anyone has any links please let me know. The other names in my tree from Cromdale area are Grant, Fraser, McIntosh, Stewart, MacPherson, Fletcher. Regards Mark --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
