    3. Hi Ida, Thanks for your input. This John Beaton can not be the son of Archibald & Catherine McNeil as their son John (my gt grandfather) married in New Zealand in 1843 and died in Australia in 1882. John

    3. Hi Ian, As you will know, the first official government census that included names was in 1841. The 1821 was a numbers/totals only count and therefore on no use in tracing families. Ian

    3. Thanks Jacqueline. I take it you do not have any info on the family of the other Catherine McNeil born in Caillioch in 1791 to parents Malcolm McNeil and Janet Campbell? Regarding the Beatons, I believe the existence of two Archibalds only 5 years apart in age continues to cause confusion. There is no proof that the Archibald who married Catherine McNeil is the one who was baptised on Gometra in 1785. Likewise there is no proof that he is the Archibald that died in Tobermory in 1856. Furthermore there is no proof that the children, Jessie and Catherine, in the 1841 census in Tobermory belong to the same parents who married in 1814 and had John (1815) and Archibald (1817). All of this has to be speculation and is not helped by being stated as fact on the Mull website. John Beaton

    3. Hi John & Jacqueline I'll probably confuse the issue more.. In the 1841 census John you mention Jessie Beaton. I wonder if she might be the d/o John Beaton/Bethune & Marion Henderson as Janet appears to be missing from the census below. Therefore a possbible grand daughter of the Archibald & Catherine ????(McNeil)..you mention. at Kirk St. TBR The Catherine in aged 7 in 1841 census might also be a d/o John and Marion as well. I haven't found any other information for the family. Argyll Terrace Beaton/Bethune John 35 Mason Y M 1851 Argyll Terrace S. Side TBR Argyll Terrace Beaton Sally/Marion 40 Y F Henderson Argyll Terrace Beaton Flora 11 Y F n/e not in census but child of Janet Sep 22 1833 Argyll Terrace Beaton James 5 Y M Feb 16 1836 Argyll Terrace Beaton Angus 3 Y M n/e Argyll Terrace Beaton Archd 6mo. Y M n/e Maybe someone with the MI for TBR or OPR's could check it out as Marion Henderson dies Feb 5 1875 at Tomavulin TBR. John must die after this as he was present at the time of her death. He's not found in the 1881 census either. Ida John Beaton wrote: >Thanks Jacqueline.

    3. Hi I am posting this with Ida's permission. Please look at the website below. The United Church Archives are essential to Ontario research. As many of you know, they have not only Methodist records but a large number of Presbyterian records as well. Official records in Ontario did not start until 1869. The earlier records are found in archives such as this. Please let your views be heard (via the website below), even if you are not from Ontario. I just received this from another website and thought it should be forwarded. Closing of the United Church Archives / Victoria University to the public on 21 December 2007.

    3. Hello John, thank for the information. This is certainly a confusing one. I have the following: Catherine McNeil bapt. 27 Oct 1793 Calliach daughter of John McNeil and Janet McLean siblings; Neil, John, John, Mary, Catherine, Marion/Sarah and John Neil and John (the youngest) both came to Ontario, Canada in 1820/21 but I don't know if the rest of them came or not. I have Archibald Beaton bapt. 3 Sept 1785 in Gometra and died in Tobermory 4 June 1856 - married to Catherine 2 May 1814 and they had the following Archibald, John, Jessie and Catherine which certainly follows the naming pattern of both parents??? These two other children were from the 1841 census but there might be children in between or they might have died. I don't know how else to make sure this is the right Catherine McNeil. Malcolm is not a McNeil name in my line and I don't know about the Beatons. Could your John's Malcolm be from his wife's side? Jacqueline in Nova Scotia ----- Original Message ----- From: John Beaton To: sct-isleofmull@rootsweb.com Cc: h.j.arch@ns.sympatico.ca Sent: Sunday, October 14, 2007 10:43 PM Subject: BEATON/McNEIL Hi Jacqueline, Sorry I'm a bit slow replying but have been away. I am sure you and I exchanged emails on this topic a few years ago. I am descended from Archibald Beaton / Catherine McNeil through their son John (Frackadale 1815). John went to New Zealand where he married in 1843. The family is split almost equally between New Zealand and Australia. As for the other son, Archibald Jr, there is a death in Queensland in 1886 which seems to be him - parents are correct but other details a bit off - so maybe he followed his older brother. The death certificate claims that he was in Australia for 40 years (ie since 1846) but I have not found shipping records for either of them. Now getting back to Archibald and Catherine, there are two possibilities for each of them. There are two Catherine McNeil (or McNiel) christenings at Caillioch and both mothers were Janet. The first was a child born in 1791 at Caillioch to parents Malcolm McNeil and Janet Campbell, who were married in 1791 at Caillioch. The second was a child born in 1793 at Caillioch to parents John McNiel and Janet McLean, who were married in 1785 at Arin. I have no idea how you would separate these two possibilities but if I had to have a wild stab I would pick the first purely because the name Malcolm was taken as a second name by one of John's sons. Do you have info on either of these families (eg siblings of Catherine) which might provide useful leads? Likewise for Archibald, there are two possibilities that I have not been able to conclusively separate. Both had fathers named Lachlan Beaton and both had mothers named McKinnon. One was born 1785 (Gometra) and one 1795 (Tobermory). I am punting for the former, but will not go into the details here as I think you are more interested in the McNeils. Please keep in touch.

    2. Mary Herbert
    3. Hello, Jacqueline I have a Roderick Kennedy in my lot. Baptised 10 Jul 1797 on Coll. The problem is that I have him living on Coll until about 1860 when the whole family emigrated to South Australia. He was the informant for his brother, John Kennedy's death on Coll in 1857. I am interested in the Kennedy/McLean connection as my grandfather, Lachlan Kennedy, son of John Kennedy [mentioned above] and Ann or Agnes Beaton was baptised on Coll in 1839. John and Roderick Kennedy's parents were Samuel Kennedy and Mary McLean , married on Coll in 1792. Samuel Kennedy survived until after the 1841 census but he was a widower then, and aged 80. The recent posts about this family have confused me - I think I will have to try checking on Mull for Samuel Kennedy's birth - The children of Samuel Kennedy and Mary McLean are John born abt 1793 on Coll died Coll 1857 Marion/Sarah born 1795 on Coll died Australia 1878 Roderick born on Coll 1797 came to Australia in 1860, also his son, Donald, [born 1841, Coll died after 1873]don't know when Roderick died, Donald born 1799 on Coll, died 1863, Tobermory Mull Catherine, born 1801 on Coll, died Oban 1891; married Duncan Campbell on Coll 1833, lived on Islay, had 3 daughters, Mary Ann and Catherine.

    2. Ian Phillips
    3. Hi June, Keep the good work up. Will process 'a few for the next time' later as I'm just in for a quick cuppa. Ancestory.co.uk have a Georgina Vass in the 1841 census aged 3mths at Kenloch parish of Iona. Strange though as she appears to be the only person in the house. Difficult to work out how this is. I however do have her in the family of Hector and Catherine MacLean. I think that Georgina Vass is Georgina Ross because Kenloch (Kinloch) is very close to Kilfinichen. I have double checked the William Ross / Rebecca MacLean marriage. Regret to say 'my' data is incorrect. They did not marry on 1/7/1841 but a William Ross did marry a Jean Livingston of Ardfenaig on that date. Just adds to the confusion as the baptism OPR for Georgina states 'William Ross, parish of Laggie, Ross-shire......' and the William Ross marriage states 'native of Ross-shire'. >> I have gone into the Vass family at great length and have never found a Georgina anywhere. Well I have ;-) . I think the only way to resolve this is to go back to the original 1841 census. Perhaps so kind soul might have access to a copy. Hope I have sufficiently muddied the waters for you. All the best. Back to the garden before it starts raining. Getting very overcast. (This means its sunny in Scotland). Ian

    1. [SCT-ISLEOFMULL] querie/more details
    2. June Ridgeway
    3. Hi Ian, Thank you for the recent update - you do a great job! I have a querie for you. On the Mull site (and Scotlands People) there is an entry for Georgina ROSS born 4/3/1841, daughter of William Ross and Rebecca McLean m. 1/7/1841. It says that the info comes from the 1841 census although I can't find them there. However, Georgina VASS, aged three months is on the 1841 census in a McLean household. She is also shown on the Mull site as the daughter of William and Jane Vass. I have a suggestion. Could ROSS have been mistaken for VASS? Scotlands People do this a lot as they look very similar in the old writing. I have gone into the Vass family at great length and have never found a Georgina anywhere. I think she is the Georgina ROSS previously mentioned. What do you think? Here are a few for next time:- . JOHN BEATON born 1862 (married to Ann McDonald (1) and Justina McCormick (2)) died 12/11/1944 Aberfoyle, Perthshire JUSTINA McCORMICK b 1874 (daughter of Lachlan McCormick bapt 03/08/1832 and Eliza McDonald married 07/12/1899 John Beaton, Tormore JOHN BEATON and FLORA McQUARRIE (parents of above John Beaton) married 25/11/1859 Glasgow (This makes it extremely unlikely that he was born in 1844 as shown on the Mull site (he would have got married at 15 years old) - possibly attached to the wrong family) _________________________________________________________________ The next generation of Hotmail is here! http://www.newhotmail.co.uk

    3. Hi Margaret, I am afraid I am not going to be much help to you re the number of each croft on Shiaba. I had read a copy of an article in a Scottish magazine by a distant cousin of mine. He wrote of his visit to Mull & Shiaba. He stated that building no 11 on the diagram of the site was what was left of the McKinnon household. When I visited Shiaba I had no map of the site. I was going to count the buildings as I went by them. I don't think that would have been successful as they are scattered all over the place from what I can remember of my first visit there. I would have thought this cousin would have obtained information from the Argyll & Bute District Archives. I would think they have maps of that area as well as crofter's names & the site of their crofts. It should be well- documented as it is such a well - preserved settlement. Is there any body who knows about this? All the best Ellen.

    1. [SCT-ISLEOFMULL] MullGenealogy Website Update
    2. Ian Phillips
    3. Hi All, I have just updated the MullGenealogy website. The database now contains 45,923 records and includes the final OPR entries. I would love to say that this was the number of unique individuals but unfortunately there are a fair number of duplications. During the coming months I plan to reduce the number of duplications in an effort to build larger family trees. I have added the OPR entries under the 'Surname Index' tab as a number of these entries linked to existing family records. The family records also contain details added from census records in order to build up as comprehensive a record as possible. Hopefully you will be able to add other detail. This indicates that no one source of information is comprehensive but merging sources will hopefully complete a family. Hopefully I have brought the correct records together as a family but with the same names reoccurring so frequently there is a chance that I have, for example, linked up a child with the wrong parents. No doubt at some point, someone will identify where this has occurred and the records can be corrected. Again, many thanks to those of you who have added to and corrected entries. Without these it will not be possible to build a complete and accurate picture, so please keep them coming. I think that my traveling for this year might now be complete but you never know. I have still to spend a Christmas and New Year on Mull. Not sure when my next trip to Mull will be but have a feeling that it will be before my next firm booking for September. Still have plans to tag a trip to the Outer Islands on to a trip to Mull. I also keep threatening to attend an annual meeting of the Mull Historical and Archaeological Society. All the best and keep the updates coming. Ian webmaster : www.mullgenealogy.co.uk Skype name : mullgenealogy
