Hi Lyn, The Kelton reference to me would point rather more to the Mull of Galloway rather than the Mull of Kintyre. The name "Mull" derives from Scottish Gaelic<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_Gaelic_language> : *Maol*, meaning a headland, signifying a jutting crag, promontory, brow of a hill or rock, and also baldness or bareness. The related derived noun refers to a land formation bare of trees, such as a rounded hill, summit, mountain or promontory. Good hunting.

Hello Lyn, Like Linda, I feel these names aren't Isle of Mull name. They aren't from the Mull of Kintyre are they? I know these place names become confusing several generations down the track. Do you have his birth records as you know the parents names. The Scotlandspeople site may be your best bet if you haven't tried there already. All the Mull census records from 1841 can be found on the Mull Genealogy site http://www.mullgenealogy.co.uk/. There is a William Malcolm living in the Torosay area in the 1881 and 1891 census, he was an incomer from Glasgow. There is also a Robert Carruthers family living in Tobermory from 1881 to 1901, Interestingly enough, both these families although not appearing to be related, have the unusual christian name of 'Mailtland'. So if you have a Maitland in the family you might be in luck.

Dear Lyn, I would imagine that she would be meaning the Mull of Galloway. We often get confused with the Mull of Kintyre so I don't see why it can't be the same with it.

Thank you for checking this. From his death record I have John born April 1848 with mother Anne Malcom. However, the info came from the same dau that gave Mull as pob and I have no other documentation to support it. I'll have to definately keep searching and see if I can reconcile the different data. The below would fit better with the census data from Kelton I found after this list steered me toward Dumfries yesterday. Alex suggested Mull of Galloway in an earlier email - what does "Mull" mean? As there are multiple uses of the word, it must refer to some geological feature?

Janice and Linda, Thank you both for the quick responses and suggestions! John Carruthers death record in 1929 from Parry Sound, Ontario, Canada lists his father and mothers names. It also lists pob as Isle of Mull. The informant was a daughter. But with both you suggesting that the family may not actually be from Mull I took another look at what I have so far and saw a daughter is listed on Canada 1891 census as born in Mid Kelton, Cothouse. Which according to google is in Dumfires & Galloway. Took another look at 1871 Scotland census (with a broader mind!) and found a record for John and Elizabeth Carruthers in Kelton, Kirkcudbrightshire which is a very good possible match. (I know he married Elizabeth McNaught and the 2 kids listed match what I have from other sources also). This 1871 record says John was born Kelton also. If this is the right family, I'll have to figure out why his daughter gave Mull as pob on the death record. For now, it looks like I may be on the wrong mail list. But even by likely ruling out some things its been a big help! It would be cool to have Mull ancestors though - so I'll be double checking. Thanks again. > Date: Sun, 23 Oct 2011 12:46:34 +1100 > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [SCT-ISLEOFMULL] Scotland census include Mull? > > Hello Lyn, > > Like Linda, I feel these names aren't Isle of Mull name.

Hello. The Isle of Mull is indeed included on the Scottish Censuses. Carruthers and Malcolm don't strike me as Mull surnames however. Carruthers in particular seems more likely to have been from SW Scotland -perhaps Dumfries? Good luck with your research.

Do the Scottish census of 1861 and 1871 include Isle of Mull? I'm searching for John Carruthers born abt April 1848 supposed to be in Isle of Mull. It appears his father was Robert and his mother Annie Malcom. I've been unable to locate any of these three persons in either census so far. As I'm just new to Scotish research, I wondered if Mull was actually included in these census or if they might have had their own. Robert emigrated to Canada in 1878 so should be in the earlier census. Thanks for any suggestions. Lyn

Elizabeth, On the An Iodhlann website (www.aniodhlann.org.uk/) there is a passenger list for the "Conrad"departing Greenock on 18 June 1850 for Montreal, Canada, with 167 passengers from Tiree and 74 from Mull. Is this the same voyage that you have? There was a later voyage of the same ship in July 1851 with 389 passengers from Tiree.

In 1826 Maclean of Coll began to depopulate the Isle of Rum so he could lease the whole island to a single tenant. In July of that year about 300 of the island's residents, around three-quarters of the total population, were sent in two ships, the Highland Lad and the Dove of Harmony, to Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. The remaining Rum islanders were sent to Cape Breton in 1828 on the St Lawrence, which sailed from Tobermory on 12 July 1828. In the passenger list of the St Lawrence in J.L. MacDougall's (1922) book History of Inverness County, Nova Scotia all 208 passengers on the ship are shown as being from Rum. However it is known that at least 7 persons (in one family) were from Coll, and it has been said that some150 were from Muck (see http://www.isleofrum.com/isleofrum-histor.html). Because it relates to emigrants from Coll, the passenger list of the St Lawrence, extracted from J.L.MacDougall's book and entered into a searchable Excel spreadsheet, has been added to the Emigrant Ships page of the Isle of Coll Genealogy website. There is room in the spreadsheet to add information about the origin of each of the passengers, and the list would be useful to many more people if that can be done. So my plea is for information, any information, about the origins of passengers on the St Lawrence that can be added to the spreadsheet. ___________________________________________ Keith Dash Sydney, Australia Isle of Tiree Genealogy: www.tireegenealogy.com Isle of Coll Genealogy: www.collgenealogy.com

Hello Margaret: I am still trying to put all these McLeans together as there are so many Johns and Lachlans. Have started making up a card for each Mclean and after I get through all the messages plus what I have, maybe something will come up better. Thank you for your information. If you have any pictures of the McLeans or Colquhouns, would it be possible to get a scanned copy from ;you as I have many old pictures from the farm that I have no idea who they are, but most are taken in Toronto, Ontario. Thanks again.
