Hello everyone, I wonder if anyone can help me. I have found my family in the 1841 Census for Iona. They are listed as living at Kintra in house number 28. The details are: Dugald MacInnes, age 30, Boatman, born in Parish Mary, age 30, born in Parish Christina, age 9, born in Parish Mary, age 6, born in parish Sandy [Alexander], age 2, born in Parish Duncan, age 7 months, born in Parish I am wondering what a Boatman would actually do. Would he be a fisherman, ferry man or something else? Would it be more likely that he owned the boat or worked for the owner of the boat? This family came out to Australia aboard the Maitland leaving Gravesend on the 14 September, 1848. They arrived in Australia at 6pm on the 7 January, 1849. Mary, aged 6, was my GGGrandmother. If anyone can give me any more details about this family or the area where they lived I would be most grateful. Cheers from Joy in Australia.

Hi All As Anne and other have brought up this subject it might be a good time to bring up my quandy as well. I have this John McArthur aged 75 born abt 1766 according to the 1841 census at Tirergair in his son's James McArthur aged 30 but James was chrst Apr 21 1806 along with his wife Janet McLean and children. So this John McArthur (1766) m Mary McFee/Phee had the following children I've been able to prove #1 Hugh abt 1803 d Sep 14 1887 Bunessan parents listed were John & Mary McFee/Phee (he also m a Janet McLean d/o John McLean & Marion/Sarah McKinnon) This Hugh seem to have boarders living with them in 1841in Tirergair A Catherine McKinnon b abt 1827 and a Neil McPhail b abt 1839. 1851 Neil McPhail is in the same h/h as Hugh McArthur in Cronaboglais Iona , then again in 1881 they have a Peter McKinnon b abt 1873 in Glasgow living with them in Bunessan. The IGI holds no leads for these McKinnon's or McPhail 's #2 James McArthur chrst Apr 21 1806 along with his wife Janet McLean and children. They emigrated to Glenelg Grey Co., Ont. in 1849 #3 Christina McArthur chrst Dec 6 1812 don't know what became of her... #4 Mary McArthur chrst Jun 18 1816 don't know what became of her... possibly a Flora b abt 1791 that m's John Beaton Apr 8 1813 I haven't followed up on this family YET.

Hello Janice and List, Janice in reply to your question about Maggie's parentage today, I unfortunately have nothing to report. She was alternatively called Mary Margaret McIntyre if that helps you at all but I don't know her place of birth. She was not listed on the 1841 census so likely had died before then. Gilbert McArthur was the son of Charles McArthur. Charles was born in June 1734 and worked as a crofter at Tir Arragan farm, Argyll Estate, Isle of Mull. His wife's name is unknown to me. Charles had two other sons besides Gilbert. They were John b. 1771 and Charles b. 1778. Gilbert was born in 1774, all three were born in Tir Arragan. They were listed on the "Inhabitants on the Argyll Estate" list of 1779. Gilbert and Maggie had 6 children that I know of, with Malcolm appearing to be the 3rd one. They were: Flora b. 11 Feb or Mar. 1804 Tir Arragan John b. 27 Apr 1806, Tir Arragan Malcolm b. 1 Sept. 1807 Tir Arragan Dugald b. 26 Nov. 1809 Tir Arragan Duncan b. 29 June 1811 or 1 Jan 1811 -(first date might be a christening ?) Tir Arragan Mary b. 22 Aug 1813 Tir Arragan This information is from the Parish Records of Kilfinichen and Kilvickeon Parish and the 1841 Census for the same area. I have next to nothing further on the siblings of Malcolm, other than John who appears to have emigrated from Scotland after Malcolm. The Scottish research that has been done here was completed by my elderly cousins in the early 1970s in the Scottish Record office on their visit there. I've "inherited" their genealogical works on both their father's (my side) and their mother's - McArthur's side. Unfortunately, I don't have OPR numbers to be able to substantiate what they found. Any information I've stated above should be used then as a guide for further research. Hope this info is helpful to someone Ann Ward da.ward@sympatico.ca

Hello Ann, Do you have any particulars for Maggie McIntyre wife of Gilbert McArthur? I have long been searching for the two daughters of Malcolm McIntyre from Ardalanish. They were counted in the Duke of Argyll's census but so far back there is no records unless they are death records. There were two McIntyre families living at Ardalanish at the time and so far we have not been able to link them, this Maggie could belong to them as well. Do you (or anyone else) have the names of any of Gilbert McArthur's other children?

Hello Ian, Yes, I had a lovely time in Samoa, although it was VERY hot. I am not all that good in the heat and this heat was steaming. In fact you could see the steam coming up off the road after rain - really seriously HOT. We went to the beach and ate out most evenings so I had a very relaxed time. The people there are really lovely and I managed to meet quite a few. I would like to go back but certainly not in the wet season again. Maybe in May or June. (Not for a year or two though) I will be broke after my next holiday. 7,000 records, you have been busy. I will have to check to see that I have all you have put in. I have a few pages from Scotlandspeople since the OPRs have become available but some of them are pretty hard to read. I'm sure you will enjoy your stay on Mull, do you know many people going to the McLean Gathering? Are you still thinking of moving to Mull or have you decided to stay put in London. I am sure that it is perfectly alright for you to be as emotional as you need to be whilst on Mull it holds some very special memories for you. Don't forget to smell the flowers on the way - Well look at a different scene if nothing else. Have you been to Stirling Castle yet? There are so many wonderful things to look at on your way up to Scotland. (I seem to have said all this before) I have started to plan my holiday, but as I won't be arriving in UK until at least mid October (So far) I am having to look at it from a different perspective then 'Spring' I really want to see the Autumn leaves, so no good arriving in Summer. I am hoping to be in UK somewhere until at least Christmas and a lot later if I can manage it, so I will call and see you at some stage. But it is all in my head at the moment so don't actually know any dates. I will be retiring in Mid July, although I turn 60 in May, I have to do that or lose a lot on my Leave money to tax. I am taking advantage of this and getting rid of a lot of furniture and clutter I have had in my life for a very long time. I though if I managed to sell or give away most of my furniture, I wouldn't have to find a unit based on my current collection. I am not attached to any of it so may as well start over without the expense of having it shipped to Melbourne. I will be keeping my books and bits and pieces though.

Hello List, In reply to Elaine Robinson's entry on March 18th about Malcolm McArthur, his wife Catherine etc. This is Malcolm McArthur b. 1 Sept. 1807 in Tir Arragan, Isle of Mull to Gilbert McArthur and Maggie McIntyre. He died about 1873 in Owen Sound, Grey Co., Ontario. Catherine was the second wife of Malcolm McArthur. They married about 1841. Catherine was born about 1821, christened on 28 October 1827, the daughter of John McDonald of Ardalanish, Isle of Mull and Ann McArthur. She died on 30 April 1870 in Proton Twp., Grey Co., Ontario, Canada. Peggy was born about 1847 in Scotland. She came to Canada with her parents but cannot be found in the 1861 census. Donald went by the name Dan. He was born 14 March 1849 in Canada West. He died in Alberta. He was married twice. Catherine and Malcolm had 9 children. They lived for awhile on Lot 31, Concession 15, Glenelg Twp., Grey Co., Ontario from 1851 but moved to Lot 10, Concession 12, Proton Twp., Grey Co., Ontario in 1856 near Hopeville, Ontario. Malcolm never owned property, to my knowledge, in Owen Sound. He was on his way from his home in Proton Twp. to embark from Owen Sound on a journey to collect an inheritance in Jamaica when he had a stroke according to family lore. He was cared for by a daughter in a relative's home near Owen Sound for some time before he died. Another death year might have been 1877. If interested in this family, I have more info on the other children. Please contact me off list at da.ward@sympatico.ca Ann Ward

hi In the Old Durham Road Register there is a Malcolm McArthur, emmigrated from Mull. His age at the time of the entry was 25 years and the date of this entry was 1849. This register is a list of names in Glenelg Township, Grey County Ontario. It doesn't give any other information, but you might try the 1851 census for Glenelg.

Hi Jan, Trust you are OK. Quick note to say belated thanks for your postcard from Samoa. Sounds like you had a good time with Libby. I expect it seems ages ago now. Nothing much to report here. I'm still ploughing through the OPR records. A bigger job that I thought. I have already added over 7,000 new records and countless BDM dates to existing records. Unfortunately is throwing up a good number of duplicates so will try and clear these next winter. Might well have to write a program to help with this. Off to Mull in three weeks now. Should be good but will be a little emotional at times. Guess you are looking forward to your retirement now. Will not be long now. Still getting used to the idea myself. I'm told that it can take a good while. Take care, Ian
Hi list I went to the library yesterday and found a couple of interesting obituaries. In case anybody is interested in McEachnie. Hopeville Some time ago we mentioned the death of Mr. Archibald McEachnie in the Western States, an old Proton boy, but we now send you the account of it as taken from the Bozeman paper of the 23rd November. "The Miner" "Mr. Archibald McEachnie, one of the best known freighters of this state, died here this morning at the Gallatin Hotel, where he had been staying for about two weeks. The cause of death was heart disease, with which he had been suffering for some time. His illness became serious about two days ago, his wife was with him, also his brother John, of Billings, at the time. For seven years Mr. McEachnie had been engaged in the freighting business with headquarters at Gardiner. Recently he brought his team to Belgrade. He was visiting in Bozeman at the time he took sick and died. He was 34 years of age and stood six feet, three inches in height. He had a host of friends here and was generally well liked. Besides his wife, he is survived by a mother, four sisters and three brothers, who live in Grey Co., Ontario, only John, who is here. The funeral will be held here tomorrow afternoon, 24th, and the body will be buried in the Bozeman cemetery." We can add to the above that this young man was born and raised in Proton on a farm, where his widowed mother, brother and sister now lives, 1 1/2 miles west of Hopeville. His mother was a Miss Ferguson and they have many relations in Proton and neighborhood. They have the sympathy of the people here in their sad bereavement. (The Durham Review Dec. 24/08) (this was exciting to find because he was one of my many brick walls) Hopeville Died at his residence 2 miles west of Hopeville, on Wednesday the 28th Nov., Mr. John McEachnie, one of the pioneers of Proton township, aged about 80 years. The funeral was on Friday the 30th to Swinton Park cemetery and was very large, friends coming from Durham, Priceville, Egremont and some from Toronto. The ministers in attendance were the Rev. Mr. Gibson of Hopeville, The Rev. Mr. Matheson of Priceville, and Mr. Baird, the former pastor of the Hopeville church, but now of Toronto. All officiated at the house services and Mr. Gibson and Mr. Matheson at the cemetery. Mr. McEachnie was one of four brothers who came into Proton about 50 years ago and settled on four wild lots on the 12 and 13 concessions, all adjoining each other. They were Neil, now living in Proton, but confined to the house, John, who we now write about, Alexander, who moved into Osprey a few years ago but since died, Roderick who a few years ago moved from here into Keppel township near Owen Sound. This family of McEachnie's came from Glenelg township, where they lived for a few years after coming from the Highlands of Scotland. When they went into Proton very little of it was settled upon and they got four good lots, which by their industry made good farms. They had to bear the hardships of early settlers, but being strong robust men were well fit for the heavy task of pioneers life. Often they had to go to Durham Mill, nearly 20 miles and carry a bag of flour on their back with some other groceries in a bundle without any road but a path through the bush by the blaze of the surveyor, then around a Proton swamp, for a few years, but they were a contented people and lived to see the foot path turned into a road fit for oxen and a jumper to go on. Then they begin to see other and better improvements, good roads, fine buildings, etc, before their departure from this life. Mr. John McEachnie was married to a daughter of the late Archibald Ferguson who lived on the 15th concession. She and a large family of children, most of them married are left to mourn his departure. (taken from the Durham Review, December 1906) I don't know if this helps anybody, but thought they were both very interesting obits.

MCARTHUR-BEATON A quiet but impressive marriage took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John G. Beaton, Wednesday, March 31st, when their eldest daughter Jennie M. was united in the holy bonds of matrimony to Mr. Angus A. McArthur, a prosperous young farmer of Glenelg. As the clock was striking six, the bride, leaning on the arm of her father entered the parlor to the strains of the wedding march played by Miss Maggie J. Wilson, of Boothville. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. W.L. Newton of Durham, in the presence of only immediate relatives of the contracting party. The happy couple were unattended. The bride looked charming, gowned in white silk trimmed with Valenciennes lace and wore a bridal veil and orange blossoms. After the usual congratulations a sumptuous supper awaited. Justice being done to all the good things provided, the evening was spent in games and music. The grooms gift to the bride was a handsome gold watch and bob. The presents were useful and costly showing the high esteem in which they were held. Mr. and Mrs. McArthur have gone to reside in their home in the Glen. Carrying with them best wishes of a host of friends for a long and happy wedded life. This doesn't really give much information, but is nice to have. The paper was the Durham Review, April 1909.

With the current interest in McArthurs, I thought I'd ask again for any clues to my missing Malcolm MacArthur, born in Ardalish Mull (maybe 1825 to Arthur & Isabella McArthur). Em. to Ontario abt 1853, likely to Bruce County. I thank Ida, Sandra and others for previous attempts.

Gloria Golden (Jill Alford cousin) sorted all the McArthur for me eons ago via the McArthur mailing list. These are only the highlights for relationship. 7-2 Dundalk Miss Isabelle McArthur Jan 25 1956 d/o Mr & Mrs Charles McArthur resided at Priceville , 2 brothers Archie, Melvin, and sister Vada all of Toronto NFI pg 3 see 17-7, 19-15, 20-8, 23-3 17-7 Dundalk Alex B McArthur, Nov 5 1936, 3 brothers & 2 sisters survive, Archie, Lorne and Melville, Velda and Isabel all of Toronto, m Mary Emily Irwin of Proton, ch Isabel and Gordon of Toronto, pg 25.

See 7-2, 17-7, 19-15, 23-3 As some of these events happened in Priceville twp. Grey Co., Ont. I asked Sue Visser genealgal2@execulink.com if she had anything on this family. Today she replied with. There are 2 Charles McArthurs in the Priceville area in 1881 - one in Glenelg (Charles & Mary Jane & family) and the one in Artemesia you noted (Charles & Catharine & family). I searched for "M.H. McArthur" on ancestry.ca and his late birth registration is attached - which confirms that it is the Artemesia Charles you are searching. It also confirms that the family was in Proton. Again re ancestry.ca Children of Charles McArthur & Catharine Black Mary Nevada McArthur b 8 Oct 1886 - Apparently there were 5 live births but I couldn't find the others - it appears they didn't reg their kids. Charles Melville Hudson McArthur b 25 Aug 1891 - I searched Split Rail Country and Priceville and its roots/routes with no success. Not much more success with A History of Dundalk pg 147 Mel McArthur, in class photo Dundalk Public School 1903 pg 213 Sgt Kenneth McArthur, s/o John McArthur and gson of Chas McArthur served with RCAF as bomber pilot - killed in action 1943 pg 404 Charles McArthur, farmer, Lot 2 Block X, owner So I'd like to says thanks Elaine Robinson, Sue Visser, Gloria Golden & Jill Alford your all GEM's as far as I'm concerned. later Ida
