Hello everyone: My family tree, as well as one other tree of Shaw's landing in PEI Canada are online at www.islandregister.com under PEI Lineages - then hit surname Shaw or S and scroll to Shaw - My Shaws begin with Archibald Neil Shaw married Catherine Bell and had 5 children baptised in Colonsay - pretty sure came to Canada about 1819 and have another child born PEI 1823.......though I have not found bapt record for her, I found newspaper clipping gives fathers name and I believe her to be ours..........if not, maybe Archie never came to PEI, only Catherine as the 1841 PEI census only shows an older woman..........they name last daughter Barbara - and I wonder where this name came from? Perhaps it provides a clue to someone out there? Anyhow, I am seeking help to find out if Archie had any siblings that may have stayed in SCT or emigrated elsewhere. I have no idea if they originated from Colonsay or Mull and/or moved there from whereever? No idea if they as well came to PEI or Canada..... I had first thought his family came from Knapdale and his father a John mother Mary McNel as dates fit for Archie but this may not be true. I think Catherine his wife was from Inverary/Glenary and daughter of Archibald Bell and a Mary Bell but again, uncertain...no wedding info or otherwise found. If pecking order of names holds true to Scottish fashion, the sons of Archie and Catherine were named John and Donald who were twins bapt 1807 and then Neil Shaw born 1809 bapt 1810 - Neil's middle name is most likely Archibald but could be Alexander...... The pecking order would make me think his father was a Donald Shaw - Archie would have to be born abt1770-1780/5 - could be earlier.....but Donald Shaw who married who and had who...did they have an Archie....... Other Shaws landing in PEI tend to come from Mull, Coll, and some suggest Kintyre area...... I have no idea of chapels, etc so any help is appreciated. If someone out there is trying to find an Archie or has one is there tree I would love to hear from you should dates maybe fit. Names run down are tree are: Neil, Archibald, John, Donald, Alexander and Malcolm......... Its possible I am somehow connected to Malcolm Shaw who emigrated Mull 1806 to PEI and married Catherine Liviingston - but so far that line has not produced an Archie that I can find in any records online. It is also possible that Archie is a brother to Neil Shaw - from the other SHAW TREE you will see on the website the Island Register - he married a Catherine McInriver - but I have not found his parents or siblings line to figure this out. Is he a brother to Neil Shaw born Colonsay 1789 - emigrated to Pictou NS then to PEI.....if anyone is familiar with Donna MacKenzies tree on Colonsay website. I have been stuck for about 2 and a bit years now, so any advice or break or information would be appreciated. Spread the word for me, maybe someone else has that missing link - or knows of the records I seek - should there be any to find :( Thanks all :) Best Regards Sherri Smith

Hi Mary, Sorry I didn't attach my name to the original message....my name is actually Brett. My great, great gf, John McCallum was born 1826 (Mull) and Married in 1856 in Avoca, Quebec, so therefore immigrated sometime in that period. (1826-1856) This is all the census information I have in regards to him....sorry I don't know more. It sounds like the list of possibilities over the number of ships and crossings could be quite significant so I completely understand if you wouldn't have time to look through all the lists. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ron & Mary Harris" <r_harris@sympatico.ca> To: <sct-isleofmull@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 09, 2007 12:35 PM Subject: Re: [SCT-ISLEOFMULL] Passenger form Mull > Hi Betty, > > What time period?

Mary, Thank you for checking in your new book. I'm beginning to think that there must have been a number of unrecorded passages made by our ancestors, especially in the earlier years. I'll have to check for this book on my next trip to the library. I assume it lists many of the settlers in Glengarry County, Ontario. I have another Cameron line that were in Kenyon Twp., Glengarry Co., before moving across the river to Quebec. Thanks again. John Cameron, Searching for Cameron, McGilivray, Morrison, and McLeod.

Mary and Ron Would you be so kind as to look up some McCormicks for me? They are my ancestors who came from Mull Scotland(don't know the port they left Scotland from) and landed at Quebec. The first group of my McCormicks were Alexander and Donald McCormick who came to what is now Grey County(the Rocky Community) in 1843. The second group that came to Quebec before coming up here to the Rocky Community in 1846 was Mary McDougald McCormick, John McCormick, Hugh McCormick, Archibald McCormick, and Mary McCormick. I know this group came over on a schooner from what my gr grandfather told my mother. He told her that in about 1925. I would really appreciate the help. I have been trying for years to find the ships they came over from Scotland on.

Frank, Are you aware that a Duncan McColl was baptised 23 Nov 1774, the son of John McColl and Mary Campbell of Ledmore? Do you know if this is your Duncan?

Hi Betty, What time period? Remember this book lists 900 crossings on 550 ships over some 75 years. When did your John MCCALLUM immigrate? Mary > If you could be so kind as to check the list for a John McCallum,

If you could be so kind as to check the list for a John McCallum, who also came to Quebec during this period, I would be very much appreciative. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ron & Mary Harris" <r_harris@sympatico.ca> To: <sct-isleofmull@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 09, 2007 11:01 AM Subject: Re: [SCT-ISLEOFMULL] Passenger form Mull > Hi John, > > I recently purchased a rather good book "The Scottish Pioneers of Upper > Canada 1784 - 1855: Glengarry and Beyond" by Lucille H.

So interested to keep learning about the MacColls - my grt grt grt grandmother Grace MacColl who married Hugh Campbell of Teang, Torosay area according to Old Parochial rEigster would have been born about 1760 as she married in 1785 - their daughter Ann married Parlan MacPharlain and they came here to Mull Rver, Cape Breton as immigrants in 1820 - the name Grace continued in this family for three generations - coming form Grace MacColl- does the name Grace occur in any other families - red hair was found in some of her descendants - a group of MacColls who were her relatives came here to Cape Breton in 1820s and settled thrity miles from here. Will try to learn more of them - Duncan was a common name in their line. Jim St.Clair

Fred, I would say the information you have is more or less correct... Neil McColl and Mary McPherson were married on 26th Dec 1797 in the parish of Kilninian. They had a number of children including Mary (baptised 28th Oct 1798), Dugald (3 Nov 1800), Donald (30 Jan 1803), Neil (18 Dec 1810) and John (25 Aug 1814). Given the long gaps, there were possibly more children, perhaps not surviving. In 1814, the family was living at Ardmore which is the most northerly part of Mull, a mile or two NW of Tobermory. It is said that the McColls on Mull were all descended from Iain ban Mac Cholla (Fair John) who came to Mull from Appin around 1700. If this is true (and it may not be), I don't know how your family would fit into this picture. Have you any idea who Neil's parents were? Or Mary's for that matter?

After reading the last couple of posts regarding passage of ancestors to Canada in 1820/1821, I thought I would ask if anyone has info on any ships in that time period. My ggg grandparents Angus Cameron and Marion McGilivray came to Quebec from Mull ( Island of Iona) between when the last child was born on Iona in 1819 and when the next one was born in Grenville, Argenteuil County, Quebec in 1822. I have never been able to find them on any passengers list. John Cameron

Hi Louahna, I've checked the files I have on this family and I agree with Jay that the "The Clan Gillean" does not list any marriage or children for Hector Lachlan Stewart MacLean. I also, as Jay said, have him having 3 brothers (Donald Charles Hugh MacLean; Colin Kenneth MacLean; and Alister FitzHugh MacLean) and 3 sisters (Isabel Margaret Sophia Hastings MacLean; Maria Penelope Crighton MacLean; and Sheila Loudon Lindsay MacLean). Appears as though all these children were born in India. I only have a marriage for one of them and that is Donald Charles Hugh MacLean (born 13 July 1875, died 12 April 1909). I have that he married, on 26 October 1907, Gwendoline Katherine Lenora Hope (born 30 April 1878, died 28 March 1970). There was an interesting article (and picture) of him in "The Celtic Monthly: A Magazine for Highlanders", which can be found on www.electricscotland.com. For this couple, I only have one child, Vice-Admiral Sir Hector Charles Donald MacLean (born 7 Aug. 1908, died 19 Feb. 2003). Quite a bit can be found on him at the Malta Family History site (and his obituary can be found on-line). It would be really interesting to find out if Hector Lachlan Stewart MacLean was indeed ever married. Would you mind sharing with the list your thoughts/logical behind thinking that he may be your great-grandfather? What was your grandmother's (or should that be great-grandmother's) maiden name? I would be more than happy to check my files for any names that you would like to provide. Hoping that someone on the list can be of more help.

Ian, I'm delighted to see that the contribution of my Grandma's brother John MacCallum Solicitor has a mention. Haven't looked at what you have picked out (as I have the full text) but I know that John was not the most amiable contributor, but I'm proud of the contribution that he made there and as a lawyer on Tobermory. This is the same man who in 1881 gave his family entry in the 1881 census in gaelic - the only one in Tobermory and probably one of those best educated!!
