Hi Ian I have run into this too and the answer is very simple....in the older writing you will find that colin and john look very similar. I had one of these cases and it took a while to figure out the problem! Hope this helps!

Hi Last year while researching my Carmichael family, Ida & Jill Dakin gave helpful information on Elizabeth Carmichael (c. 27/10/1803) (d/o Duncan Carmichael & Ann Stewart). Ida found info on the IGI submited by a Dugald Cameron. Jill said she believed Elizabeth married a Major Cameron. During a recent phone call with an elderly cousin on Mull she recalled that Elizabeth Carmichael had "married a major and settled near New York". Ida, I've searched the IGI but cannot find the entry you mentioned. Can you give me some tips on how to find the entry submitted by Dugald Cameron? Thank you. Best wishes Moira

This is my first posting to the list. My most distant Mull ancestors were Lachlan McLean b c 1745, married Ann McLeod b c 1746. They were probably married about 1766. As the OPR's don't begin until 1766 it may have been earlier, and they may have had other children. Their children were; Christian bap 7 June 1767 in Sorn Donald bap 10 dec 1769 in Mingary Margaret bap 13 Dec 1772 in Mingary These baptisms took place in the Parish of Kilninian. Margaret Mclean married Charles Morrison (son of Hector Morrison and Florence Morrison) abt 1794 Their children were; Anna b 1795, Isobell b 1798, Lachlane b 1800, Mary b 1801, Hector b 1803, Hugh b 1803, Niel b 1806, John b 1808, Allan b 1810, Rodrick b 1810, Magnus b 1812. The children were all born at Ballachroy. Their baptisms took place in the Parish of Kilninian. Isobell Morrison of Ballachroy, married William Stewart of Baligown on 26 Jan 1823. Their children were Mary b 4 Jan 1824, Hector b 21 Feb 1825, Isabel b 9 July 1826, Ann b 31 July 1828, John b 1831, Charles b 1833, Margaret (Peggy)b 1835, Catherine b 1837, Magnus b 1840. I have the 1841 and 1851 Census records for these families. Ann Stewart married Alexander Cameron (born Glengarry, Scotland)on 27th March 1862 at "Lake View" Hamilton, Victoria, Australia. Ann and Alexander were my Great Great Grandparents. I would appreciate any further information or research advice regarding these families. Thanking you in advance, Regards, Barbara, Australia

Hello Margaret, Sorry you have been to so much trouble! My curiosity led me to investigate myself a few days ago and I found a death for Ann McDonald aged about 70 similarly an occupant of the Lorne Combination Poorhouse registered by a friend one Susie Sinclair but devoid of any parental data. This death was in March 1892 and as she was not on the 1901 Census I assume it to be correct. By 1901 her daughter Mary Ann had baptised her own daughter Ann McQ. McDonald which would seem appropriate. None of this is very helpful to Ida to establish Ann McQuarrie's parentage.

Happy New Year. I am back in Samoa after Xmas. I thought that I would post these family members - and someone might make a connection. I have more information about the Australian families available too. John McDONALD and Flora LAMONT went from Skye to Portland Victoria Australia on New Zealander in 1853. Their daughter Mary McDONALD (born in Stenchell Skye in 1838) married Archibald MCLEAN (born in Morvern, Argyll in 1830) in Hamilton Victora. To the best of my knowledge that had 8 children. Their daughter Margaret 'Peggy' McDONALD (born in Stenscholl Skye in 1842) married John McMILLAN (born in Mull,in 1830) in Digby Victoria in 1864 and had 9 children. Their son Hector McDONALD (Born in Stenscholl in 1840) married Marion 'Sarah' McDONALD (born in Mull in 1842) in 1867 in Branxholme Vic. To the best of my knowledge they had three (3) children. Marion's parents were Donald McDONALD and Catherine MacQUARIE. Catherine's parents were Torquil MacQUARIE and Sarah McLEAN. This McDONALD/ MacQUARIE connection is only connected to my family through the marriage of Catherine McDONALD to Hector McDONALD. Hope that this might connect to someone's research. Regards Libby McMillan (ongoing email has changed from libbymcm@tpg.com.au to libbymcm@optusnet.com.au )

Does anyone have any information on a Euphemia McPhail McKillop, lived in Renfrew County, Ontario, in mid 1800s, said to be sister of Neil McDonald b 1899 Lochbuie, d 1901 Lanark County, Ontario. Chris MacPhail

Hello again Cambell, Further to my earlier reply re Mary McDonald/McQuarrie, having parents John McDonald/ Ann McNeill.

Their lawful Daughter baptzd.( opr births, 542/0020/0054) Also couldn't find a marriage for John McDonald / Ann McNeill (any Spellings) in OPR's. Anytime/anywhere. Only 2 marriages in OPR's 1780-1854 (anywhere) for a John McDonald marrying A McNeill/ McNeil, but no Ann/Anne/Mary/Mary Ann/ Mary Anne. Whittled them Down to 1792, and 1824 though. The 1824 one is to a Jean McNeil and takes Place in Glasgow (25 / 6/1824) Margaret.

Hello Campbell, Re Ann McQuarrie/ McDonald Had some credits left for 'Scotlandspeople' and had a quick look for death Ann McQuarrie/McDonald (all spellings) 1891-1901. There are no deaths for this name, but not giving a female first name turns up Mary McDonald McQuarrie who died in Oban in 1901. Here are the details, 1901-District of Kilmore and Kilbride. Mary McDonald McQuarrie wife of Lachlan McQuarrie (seaman) Died 29th August 1901 Lorn Combination poorhouse, Oban. Age 66yrs Parents; John McDonald (labourer) (DEC)and Ann McDonald m/s McNeill.(DEC) C.o.d; Strangulated Hernia, duration uncertain. Signed; Geo Sinclair, Governor, present.

Hi Russell Thanks for this. I'm wondering if this isn't the same family Jo Currie has in her McLean book pg 57 although she reports Margaret with parents Lachlan McLean & Ann McLeod. I believe Barbara Hunt@bigpond.com descends through this family. She's probably changed her address by now :-( Hopefully she's still subscribed You might want to snoop around the Archives for the Mull list to see if a posting came through the list. They offer a search tab at the upper right side of the page. Try doing a surname surch for Lachlan McLean & Ann McLeod. http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/SCT-ISLEOFMULL Ida Russell Stewart wrote: > >Hi Ian , > > A few more connections for you to add to the Mull site. > >In the 1841 Census , Kilninian & Kilmore..dist 3, Page No 8 , House 38 >Locality Bellachrofs 18413066 > >Charles MORRISON aged 70 Farmer > >Isabella STEWART aged 13 Female servant > > ................................................. > >Charles MORRISON ....born 19th August 1769 Kilninian ...parents Hector >Morrison & Florence Morrison > >Married Abt 1794 > > >Margaret McLEAN ....born 11th Oct 1767 Kilninian...parents Hugh McLean & >Mary McNeil > > >

Hello Gerry, I was wondering if you ever found anymore information about Catherine Fletcher and her parentage. I am descended from Donald Fletcher and wife Marion Stewart through their daughter Mary (who married Hugh McDonald). I don't have much information on the Fletchers though - just Mary's death certificate information really. Linda -----Original Message----- From: sct-isleofmull-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:sct-isleofmull-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of gerry Sent: Friday, December 01, 2006 11:59 PM To: mull list Subject: [SCT-ISLEOFMULL] Catherine Fletcher Hi I am renewing my search for Catherine Fletcher who married Hector Campbell in 1832. Her parents were not Hugh Fletcher and Catherine Mclean. My next bet is the daughter of Donald Fletcher b. 1787,Kilfinichen and Marrion Stewart b.1891 who married in 1812 Kilfinchen. However Catherine was b.in 1809 but perhaps that slip was probably quite common at the time. Do these names ring a bell with any of you Fletchers or Stewarts? Gerry

Ida, Linda, (or anyone else) While we were on the subject of sorting out stray children - John's wife Christina had an illigitimate daughter, Jessie, on 19th May 1869, two years before she married John.

Ida et al. Jemima Masterson does indeed appear to be Jemima MacCormick b. 1 May 1862 to Catherine MacCormick. Her marriage certificate (16 Apr 1914 UFC Manse Iona) shows her as Jemima Masterson age 50 domestic servant spinster daughter of James Masterson, Hewer[?] deceased and Catherine MacCormick, domestic servant. Her husband is shown as Alexander MacCallum, age 53, laundryman, bachelor, son of Donald MacCallum, shepherd and Catherine MacCallum m.s. MacArthur, both deceased. Her death certificate (10 July 1942 Oban) shows her as Jemima McCallum married to Alexander McCallum labourer retired. Her parents are shown as James Masterson, deceased, and Catriona Masterson, m.s. MacCormick, deceased. She died of arteriosclerosis and septicemia. I believe that Catriona Masterson is inaccurate and should have been Catherine MacCormick. Perhaps her husband (the informant) was unaware that she was illegitimate? Or perhaps looking at her sister's death record, there was a little sanitizing of the truth... As for Mary Fisher... She appears to be Jemima's sister b. Mary MacCormick 22 Jul 1866 to Catherine MacCormick. Her death certificate (between 30th and 31st October 1955 5 Burnbank Ter. Oban) shows her as Mary Fisher single age 88. Her parents are shown John Fisher, deceased, and Catriona Fisher, m.s. MacCormick, deceased. She died of natural causes. Again, my belief is that Catriona Fisher is inaccurate and should be Catherine MacCormick. Hope this helps. I haven't tracked down the death of their sister Flora yet.
