What an amazing woman! Thanks for sharing Ann! Gail Rothlin in Switzerland

Hello List, Margaret "Maggie" McKellar was the younger sister of Annie McKellar who married Charles McIntosh. On letters that I have from her, she spells her surname MacKellar. Maggie was born 23 October 1861 in Tiregoill, Isle of Mull, Scotland. She was about 2 when she emigrated from Scotland to Canada, first to the area near St. Catharines, Ontario then about 1 year later to Bruce Co., near Port Elgin. Maggie had an amazing life. She was a woman far ahead of her time. After grade school, she refused to go on in her schooling, worked as a cook on her uncle Donald McLeod's ship, travelling the Great Lakes, before she took up the millinery trade. Her religious faith took her back to school when she decided that giving money for the world's evangelization didn't work, that it would be better if she gave of herself. At age 22, she started the equivalent of high school but found she couldn't handle the subjects so went back to grade school to repeat the final grade. After high school, she attended Kingston Women's Medical College [the medical course for women, associated with Queen's University] finishing her course there in 1890, graduating with her M.D. She was sent to Neemuch, in Central India by the Canadian Presbyterian Mission where she worked for about 40 years as a medical missionary. She was awarded the Kaisar-i-Hind medal for public service to India in 1911 by King George V at his Coronation Durbar as Emperor of India. Queen's University conferred on her their highest degree, L. L. D., Honoris Causa in 1929. Maggie died on 24 August 1941 in Toronto, Ontario. She is buried in Sanctuary Park Cemetery in Port Elgin, Bruce Co., Ontario, beside her parents and brother Duncan. I have a bit more information on her parents and siblings if anyone is interested. Ann Ward da.ward@sympatico.ca

Hello List, A few days ago Elaine Robinson posted the 1881 marriage of Charles McIntosh, [born ? December 1848, London, Middlesex Co., Canada West], son of John and Mary (Root) McIntosh and Annie McKellar, [born 8 September 1857, Tiregoill, Isle of Mull, Scotland,] daughter of Peter and Mary (McLeod) McKellar. I have some information on this family but no death dates for Charles or Annie. Charles died between 1900 and 1910 according to those Censuses where Annie states she is married in the former and widowed in the latter while she was living in Blair Twp., Grand Traverse Co., Michigan. Annie died before the 1920 census was taken. Would anyone have their death dates and where they are buried ? Ann Ward da.ward@sympatico.ca

Attn John Cameron - Your e-mail of May 10 indicated an interest in McGilivrays. My McGillivray ancestors originated on the Ross of Mull, then Donald (1804, son of Duncan and Mary), wf Catherine McArthur and his son Hugh (b 1843) immigrated about 1852 to near Paisley ONT. Don's nephew Donald (b Mull to Duncan II), wf & 2 kids im. abt 1890 from Greenock to Toronto. Is there a chance our families connect? I have more on older Don, but nothing else about the younger Don. - Karen >> Mary, >> >> Thank you for checking in your new book.

Hi June, Jean and Jan: >From information in June's email I gather that John Beaton, the shepherd from Ardachy who married Ann McDonald on 10 June 1886 at Creich Schoolhouse, remarried shortly after Ann's death at Pottee on 22 November 1898. The 1901 census has the following entry: Potee: John BEATON/head/Shepherd/37 Justine BEATON/wife/27 Mary BEATON/dau John BEATON/son/ Neil BEATON/7/son Flora BEATON/4/dau Annie BEATON/dau/6m. If Ann died in November 1898 at Pottee, it looks as though John remarried 1899 to Justina and the 6 month old daughter Annie was Justina's. Working back from this it looks as though this is John BEATON and first wife Ann McDONALD in the 1891 census: Ploughman's House, Knocknafenaig John BEATON/28/head/Ploughman/born Greenock Ann BEATON/24/wife/Iona Mary BEATON/1/daughter/Kilfinichen. [their older daughter, Annie was with her McDonald grandparents at Kentra] So this means that Annie BEATON who went America had four siblings as well as at least one half sister. As a shepherd and sometime ploughman, it would be feasible that John Beaton would move around the Ross of Mull. Jill

Hi I am working on a McKinnon family which has the Christian name Anthony in it. They came to Ontario probably in the early 1830'2. The only Anthony I have found on Mull is in the 1841 census on Ulva. Is there another name I should be looking for? i.e. Marrion is Sarah in Ontario records. Thanks Elaine Georgetown Ontario Looking for McKinnons in Ontario

Hi Jean and Jan, The John McDonald mentioned was my great grandfather. His daughter Ann b. 20/06/1854 married a John Beaton at Creich schoolhouse on 10/06/1886. John was a shepherd from Ardachy and according to their marrage certificate, his parents were John Beaton and Flora McQuarry. Ann died at Pottie on 22/11/1898 aged 33 and I believe John then remarried. (This may explain why your Annie wanted to live with her grandfather.) Kintra is a very small village and a child could quite easily walk from one house to another. If the dates are correct, Annie would have been about 11 when her mother died at Pottie. This is quite some distance from Kintra. Hope this helps.

Hi Robyn - welcome to the list. I don't have a great deal on this family, so would really appreciate anything that you can share. What I do have is this (taken from the MacLeans of Boreray, by Mackenzie): Mary MacLean, who married Angus MacIntosh, Boreray, with issue (names of issue are not given), was a daughter of Ranald MacLean (name of spouse not given). Ranald MacLean, was a son of Donald "Ruadh" MacLean of Kilphedair (Kilpheder) and Elizabeth Dingwall (daughter of William Dingwall, Tacksman of Lee, North Uist and Janet MacKenzie - a d/o Donald MacKenzie, Tacksman of Skinidin, Duirinish). For siblings of Ranald, I have: John; Colin; Allan; Margaret and Norman. Donald "Ruadh" MacLean, was a son of John MacLean (spouse not given), who was a son of Neil MacLean, the progenitor of the Macleans of Kilphedair (Kilpheder). This Neil MacLean was a son of John MacLean, 8th of Boreray. I do have a copy of The MacLeans of Boreray, so if there is anything I can look up for you, please let me know. Would appreciate any additional information you may have on this line.

Dear Tricia, I am so new with working on this Beaton family that I don't know off hand whether the names you mentioned are part of the Beaton family that I am after or not. They very well could be, though. If they lived in the same area that mine lived in, I would certainly assume that they must be relatives. Thank you for sending the information. I think that the additional information you mention is something that I should get and hold onto. In friendship, Jean

There have been recently messages re BEATON family I did not follow closely at that time but today I find Christina Beaton Mackenzie b 1872 Ardchiavaig, Kilfinichen, dau of Alexander MacKenzie and Ann Campbell. Does anyone on this list have her. I have further data. Not my family though. Tricia

Hi Jean and Jan in Idaho :-[ Welcome to the list. As Ian has supplied the 1891 and 1901 census where your Ann/Annie Beaton in the h/h of John McDonald. Although your Ann appears more modern than the records I have access to. You'd be wise to obtain the birth record of Ann Beaton as you have the date of her birth as 9 March, 1887 Might I suggest that following this McDonald family backwards may help you find the missing pieces. But I must warn you that there is a couple of families with the same names ...I'm hoping a couple of our McDonald researchers will step forward and will fill in more blanks for you...So what I'm surmizing is that this is John McDonald marries Ann McArthur Jan 27 1846.... On the Mull website if you look under John McDonald Oct 25 1822 you'll find the children listed. In the IGI fische I find the following records with the parents of John McDonald & Ann McArthur I'll list them accordingly John McDonald m's Ann McArthur Jan 27 1846 Iona 7426815, 1846 these are the LDS batch & film #'s ch: All listed under Iona I think this one in Kentra Iona Hugh Mar 28 1847 750524, 52, C115424, 2204 Sarah/Marion according to website NFI James Feb 10 1852 another regst Nov 29 1854 C115382, 0648, & 7426815, 5 Mary Jun 22 1854 -Nov 29 1854 C115382, 0649 Margaret Dec 7 1856 C115381, 0058 Duncan Aug 9 1859 C115381,0119 Neil Sep 2 1861 C115381, 0166 Ann Jun 20 1864 C115381, 0234 John McDonald spouse listed as Ann McArthur ch: I haven't figured out who these belong to Annabel Jun 17 1850 7426815, 3 Annabel Jul 29 1866 C115381, 0278 John McDonald m's Ann McArthur Feb 19 1835 Iona 7426815, 16 this one I think is found Catchean/Caitchean Iona ch: Archibald Jun 13-Jul 8 1835 7426814, 82, & C115382, 0236 Dugald Apr 20 1837-Jan 29 1839 Mary May 27 1839-Dec 7 1841 Flora Jun 17 Dec 7 1841 Annabel Jan 15 1844 7426814, 98 John Apr 6 1846 7426815, 18, & Aug 14 1846 7426814, 99 Female Nov 1847 C115682, 0560 John Feb 20-Mar 8 1849 7426815, 1 & C115382, 0575 Annabel May 18 1851 C115382, 0620 this could be the Annabel who was born Jun 17 1850 above...

Joy and Scott, Thank you much for your e-notes. Joy, I don't know yet if Jan's Beaton folks lived in Kilmallie, Argyll. I do know that for a time at least, the Beatons lived close to where Annie's grandfather MacDonald lived. As an old woman Annie told Jan that after her mother died she used to leave her house continually and walk over to her grandfather's house, until finally they decided to let her live there. So the two houses must have been close enough for a small child to walk. Scott, as soon as I get on the internet this afternoon I'm going to visit the web sites you recommended. That you so much for helping. In friendship, Jean

Ian, Thank you for the welcome. By coincidence, I had found the web site with that good census information on it. I found it through Google. Had just decided to take a look and see if Google had anything about Mull genealogy listed. Thank you so much for sending it to us, though. Are you the web master for that site? Jan and I both think that it is a great site. Very well put together. Looking at the locations where they lived--Iona in 1891, and Kentra in 1901--which parishes would they be in? I was looking at the catalog on line for the Salt Lake City genealogy library. Was thinking of ordering the parish records on microfilm, but I could not tell which would be the parishes where they lived. In friendship, Jean

Hi: Just wondering if your BEATON name had any connections to BEATONS in Kilmallie, Argyll. My knowledge of Scottish geography is pretty limited, and I can't put my hands on a map I have of Scotland. Anyway, probably a very long shot, but just thought I would make contact. - Joy in Canada >From: "" <searcher3@mindspring.com> >Reply-To: searcher3@mindspring.com, sct-isleofmull@rootsweb.com >To: sct-isleofmull@rootsweb.com >Subject: [SCT-ISLEOFMULL] introduction--Beaton, MacDonald >Date: Tue, 12 Jun 2007 18:56:08 -0600 > >Hello, Folks, > > I joined the list about two weeks ago, but I have just been sitting >quietly.
