I forgot to mention how much I've learned from everyone on this site - I am always in awe of everyone's wealth of genealogical knowledge and completely thankful for their help. This includes everyone from Ian and down the line..... Heather

Risking repeating the sentiments of others, I too totally agree with Ida and thank her and Ian for their tireless work and quiet commitment to helping us all, on and off this list. Best wishes Libby ------------------------------------- Elizabeth K McMillan (in Solomon Islands) - [email protected]

The Squabble needs to cease. I believe the people who maintain and administer the list should discuss amongst themselves the 'who and how with what' off list. After there is agreement between those that matter, present the revised platforms and policies. If someone volunteers to contribute assistance , that should be off list as well. Stop the bickering !!

Hi again, The only Effie/Euphemia Mckinnon's I can find in the 1881 census are Lochgilphead age 34, Tyree age 32, and Tyree age 36.

Hello John, Don't know if this is any help, you may already have. The 1871 census (on Scotlandspeople) for Margaret McKinnon in Ardchiavaig has grandson Hector's surname as Simpson. This Hector Simpson is again in the 1881 census as grandson aged 11 to Margaret McKinnon, (in Uisken) but his birthplace is given as Glasgow, though there are no births for a Hector there. The 1891 has only 1 record for a Hector Simpson and he is in Glasgow aged 22 but gives birthplace as Dundee, again no record of a birth there. This Hector is in the house of 'Irvine's' and he is a relative. There is also an infant Mary Simpson in the house aged a few mnths, also a relative. Only 1 death turned up for a Hector Simpson, in Shetland aged 80 with different parents. Can send you copies if you wish Margaret (Melrose Scotland) On Thu, Jul 28, 2011 at 10:44 AM, John Gibb <[email protected]>wrote: > Effy mckinnon had a son Hector born 16th June 1868 in Uisken.

Most of this information is on the Mull Genealogy Site - Thank you, Ian. However. I am still searching for earlier information of MCMILLANs & MCLEANs pertaining to our family. Donald MCMILLAN (b Argyll c 1811 d 27 October 1880 in Blenheim, New Zealand, s/o John MCMILLAN (Private Soldier) & Mary (nee SEAFORTH) married Mary MCLEAN (b Argylshire c 1812 d Blenheim, NZ 21 July 1897 d/o Charles MCLEAN Schoolmaster) & Christina (nee MCLEAN) on 24 March 1835 in Tobermory. L.D.S film No 102389 Donald McMillan, Parish of Kilfinichan, and Mary McLean from this Parish were married 24 March 1835 County of Argyll 19 Tobermory Section 549 Kilfinichan Parish, Isle of Mull, Scotland. After their marriage they lived in Kintra (Inver Cottage?). The following children were born in Kintra: Peter 3 March 1836 Margaret (Peggy) 25 May 1838 Hugh 9 April 1840 Charles 8 May 1844 Catherine 17 May 1846 Anne 17 August 1848 The family are on both the 1841 & 1851 census records. In July 1852 they left London on the Barque "Sea Park" for Adelaide S Australia. Catherine was not on the Passenger List - did she die between the date of the 1851 census record & the date the family left Scotland? I cannot find a record of her death. Another son John was born in Adelaide in December 1855. Peter married in Adelaide & remained in Australia, but the rest ot the family emigrated to New Zealand on the SS Tararua in April 1867. I would love to find birth dates for Donald MCMILLAN & Mary MCLEAN & see if they have any siblings. Also if there is any information on their parents (BDM). I have found a marriage for a Charles MCLEAN & a Christie MCLEAN in the Tiree BDM lists - could this be them??? Any information gratefully accepted. Marilyn McMillan - Wellington, New Zealand

Effy mckinnon had a son Hector born 16th June 1868 in Uisken. There is no fathers name on birth certificate, I assume she named the child after her late father. Young Hector is on the 1871 census living with his grandmother Margaret McKinnon in Ardchiavaig. Anyone know what happened to Euphemia and Hector? John McKinnon Gibb

Hopefully the strays from this certificate will find a home in someone else's family.

I have to agree with Janice Peasnell. Sharing through rootweb as here will enable Ian to add them to the Mull site.

Over the years - several in fact - anyone who was confused about the entries on certificates have ask for assistance from this site and we have all shared in the results of the answers that come in. I have shared all my research with Ian for his site, I did this assuming that people who used the information were researching the families involved and I could add to my interest in the McGilvrays on the Ross of Mull. I have never had a problem with certificates and I have varied writing etc. some of the very early ones may take time but surely that is half the fun of this research. If there are so many mistakes on Ian's site and I wasn't aware until quite recently that this was suppose to be the case - but that is not necessarily the fault of the site. Everyone who has a problem with suspecting things may not be right can always order there own copy from Scotlandspeople at their own expense. Anyone who wants to check any information I have put on can email me and I can either send them a copy or simply check their enquiry.

I used to belong to this list many years ago and rejoined some months ago. I belong to quite a few other Rootsweb lists - UK counties - and find that this list isn't like any of those :) :) So I am a bit confused as what is going on here too :) Caroline ----- Original Message ----- From: "margaret murray" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, July 27, 2011 12:41 PM Subject: Re: [SCT-ISLEOFMULL] Sharing detailsofbirth/marriage/deathcertificates > Hi, > > I have used this site for many years, but could someone please tell me, > and > any new users what 'the current state of affairs' is. > > When I started using this site Ian tended to be on it a lot and also Ida > /Merle, who I thought were the list administrators.

Hi, I have used this site for many years, but could someone please tell me, and any new users what 'the current state of affairs' is. When I started using this site Ian tended to be on it a lot and also Ida /Merle, who I thought were the list administrators. I also just thought Ian was somehow tied up with this site too, and that the 'Mullgenealogy' site which he was 'webmaster' of was somehow all tied in together.There was also all the talk then regarding the 'Mull Get-together', preparations and aftermath. It seemed like a 'family unit' so to speak, and although I didn't attend I was looking forward to the next one and hoping to go. I also just assumed that all BMD's and census info that went throught this site from all listers ended up also on Ian's 'Mullgenealogy' site. Perhaps it didn't, was there some reason for this? Was there some protocol we didn't go through? Maybe we need to be reminded of it and new listers too. I know I have been guilty of sending off copies of BMD's /census returns to members and had no replies back, then to realise that you can't do that through 'rootsweb', so now I ask folk if they would like me to send a copy to them personally. Like Jan I'm sure there are many of us who have amassed enough entries over many years, from our own purchases of BMD's and census returns of folk who were on the same pages as our rellies, that we could probably all start up our own websites if we wanted to! I don't like to see people falling out, if it aint broke........ ( or is that the problem???)
