    3. Hello Marianne, I have wondered myself to the point of looking in the rootsweb archives to make sure I wasn't cut off in some way. I think people are still on holidays. I will have to get to and ask some more questions. .

    1. [SCT-ISLEOFMULL] New database re passengers from Brtish ports 1890 to 1960
    2. Sue Visser
    3. The following article was in today's CBC News CBCNews@nm.cbc.ca While it is past the time when many of our ancestors emigrated, it might be helpful to some. Good luck Sue Visser Genealogy website publishes immigrants' documents Database allows access to records of more than 30 million who left British ports Last Updated: Thursday, January 11, 2007 | 7:14 PM ET CBC News A new online database listing more than 30 million ship passengers who left British ports from 1890 to 1960 can help genealogists find descendants, including those who moved to Canada. The website, www.ancestorsonboard.com, allows people to view digitized high-resolution colour images of passenger manifests, customs claims and other documents listing travellers' names and destinations that until now were only available in dusty boxes deep inside Britain's National Archives. This passenger list for a steamer's 1898 voyage is one of the many documents available on a new online database tracking passengers leaving British ports from 1890 to 1960. (Britain's National Archives) "Before, it was virtually impossible to find anyone," said Stephen Rigden, head of research at findmypast.com, the private company that partnered with the National Archives for the project. The database - it took two years to scan the estimated 1.2 million documents - includes entries from ships sailing all around the world, including decorative manifests from trips to West Africa, the Caribbean and Asia. "Some of the passenger lists are handwritten, some are typed, whereas the first-class ones are quite ornamental," Rigden said. He said the project will allow people around the world to access records and learn more about their family history, instead of having to travel to London to dig through thousands of unindexed files. The lists, gathered over the past century from Britain's board of trade, include war brides joining their new husbands, farmers drawn by land grants in western Canada, and those seeking a taste of fortune in the Yukon gold rush. So far, the website has only posted records from 1890 to 1899, but files up until the 1920s should be available by the end of the year, Rigden said. During the 1890s, Canada received 307,000 arrivals through British ports, including numerous immigrants from Scandinavia who "two-legged," travelling to Liverpool or Dublin before heading to North America. The number who came to Canada is second only to the 1.9 million people who headed to the United States. Australia received 130,000, and 31,000 travellers headed to New Zealand in the same period, the records show. "Canada was by far and away the second-most important in the decade," Rigden said, but he added that many continued on to the U.S. as tickets on ships to Halifax and Montreal were often cheaper than on those sailing directly to New York. Also among the names are home children or "Barnardo children" - thousands of young Britons who were sent to countries such as Canada and Australia between 1869 and the early 1930s. More than 100,000 children, most of them between the ages of seven and 14, were sent to Canada by orphanages such as Barnardo's to serve as farm hands and domestic servants, according to the Canadian Geneaology Centre of Library and Archives Canada. Not all of the children were orphans. Some families put their children into the care of the organizations because the children required health care the families could not afford. Most were sent abroad without their parents or relatives being notified. It is estimated that one in 10 Canadians is descended from home children. "It's quite a startling percentage," Rigden said. The database gives family historians a window into their ancestors' experiences at some of the most epic moments of their lives, he said. "What's interesting about these records is that each one carries a story," he said. "It really brings to life a person's existence in a way birth and death records can't. It's quite an emotional experience."

    1. Re: [SCT-ISLEOFMULL] More New Year's Resolutions!
    2. Add one more, with particular relevance to this list: I will endeavour to move across to Morvern from Mull and back again for each subsequent Census, and oh, throw in the odd move to Port Glasgow just to liven the mix (Sinclair line). On a more serious note, if you are stuck with your Mull line, it is often worth checking Morvern and Lismore as well. Regards, Garry

    1. [SCT-ISLEOFMULL] More New Year's Resolutions!
    2. Ron & Mary Harris
    3. Ian, You were right - I did think of more resolutions! 23. I shall encourage my descendants to marry only more descendants of mine. Why add outsiders to the perfectly good gene pool? 24. Should my daughters marry, I will advise them to marry a man with the same surname as our own (whether he be related to us or not.) In fact, same goes for my sons. 25. I resolve that, if Heaven forbid I pass away this year, that my family will be instructed to have a fitting obituary placed in the local newspaper. All my daughters should be referred to as Mrs. So-and-so with no identifying given names or initials. My birth year and place should be fairly close, but not exact. Any other details they are unsure about they just make up off the top of their heads. 26. This year, we should all endeavour to make up as many new misleading stories as possible about kinsfolk that went away from here. If George went to Northamptonshire, England, married twice, had 12 children and immigrated to Wyoming, USA, let's just say "He went to Yorkshire, had a family and all contact was lost with him." (Note: This one really happened!) 27. If I can, I will be even less tolerant of my family's misdeeds this year and "disown" even more bad apples this year. After that, we will speak of them no more. 28.Illegitimacy is to be stamped out, in this family, by my efforts. Any "little surprises" will be (a) raised by other relatives and marked as their own on any official documents or (b) given an appropriate surname - whatever one suits - which can always be switched with another surname at a later date. Surnames don't cost anything - take as many as you like! 29. On the subject of names, middle names are free too. I will advise my family members to add another middle name every so often. 30. Life is too short to be stuck with a dull name. I will try to "live a little" by calling myself alternately Jack, Jock, Johnnie, Iain, Jonathan, J., what have you over the coming year and will consider aquiring 2 or 3 Gaelic nicknames too. With any luck, after a while, I will only be known locally as one of these nicknames - everyone will forget I was ever John! Ha Ha! I'm sure there are MORE still! lol Mary Fletcher Harris Canada

    1. [SCT-ISLEOFMULL] A Wee Bit of Genealogy Humour!
    2. Hi, Just received this from the Argyll list which I thought might give you a some help in trying to locate those illusive relatives. I'm sure each of us could add at least one more line to the following :- It is New Year's Eve 1852 and John Smith sits at his desk by candlelight. He dips his quill pen in ink and begins to writes his New Year's resolutions. 1.No man is truly well-educated unless he learns to spell his name at least three different ways within the same document. I resolve to give the appearance of being extremely well-educated in the coming year. 2. I resolve to see to it that all of my children will have the same names that my ancestors have used for six generations in a row. 3. My age is no one's business but my own. I hereby resolve to never list the same age or birth year twice on any document. 4. I resolve to have each of my children baptized in a different church -- either in a different faith or in a different parish. Every third child will not be baptized at all or will be baptized by an itinerant minister who keeps no records. 5. I resolve to move to a new town, new county, or new state at least once every 10 years -- just before those pesky enumerators come around asking silly questions. 6. I will make every attempt to reside in counties and towns where no vital records are maintained or where the courthouse burns down every few years. 7. I resolve to join an obscure religious cult that does not believe in record keeping or in participating in military service. 8. When the tax collector comes to my door, I'll loan him my pen, which has been dipped in rapidly fading blue ink. 9. I resolve that if my beloved wife Mary should die, I will marry another Mary. 10. I resolve not to make a will. Who needs to spend money on a lawyer. 11. I resolve to not clutter up the good farm pasture's with headstones, that will just get broken or fade with time anyway. 12. I resolve to protect my family and friends privacy, by giving false names and places for events. 13. I resolve to never give the correct accounts of miss deeds in the family, so when Uncle Lem shot that guy and was tried for murder, my kids will be told he stole a cow. 14. I resolve to never trim the family cemetery of brush and tangle weed,to keep out any one doing that silly Genealogical work. 15. I resolve to always alternate my kids and wifes first and middle names when the census taker comes around, just to give him practice with his spelling. 16 I resolve to come from Ireland (where there are no records or if there are they can only be examined by visiting the exact village, pleading with the local clergy (who is hostile to anyone not of his belief which of course you are) and/or handing over a fee equal to or exceeding your yearly income for one hour's research which may not find anything.) 17. I resolve that not only shall I NOT die in my country of birth but that nor shall my children (yea verily) unto the sixth generation. 18. I resolve that I shall call my children by odd names which the enumerator shall spell incorrectly. 19. I resolve that I shall be absent on the night of the census. 20. I resolve that if unable to be absent on census night I shall endeavor to be enumerated twice. 21. I resolve that when I die my children/wife are instructed to give the wrong details for my death certificate. 22. I resolve that I and most of my family shall die suddenly just before death certification is brought in, in a parish where easy access to the records ceases the previous year. -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .

    1. [SCT-ISLEOFMULL] 73rd Regiment, CAMPBELL, BARTON
    2. Beverley Rodan
    3. Dear Listers, A quick question from someone who has not been dirctly following the questioning on the 73rd regiment of Foot. I have an ancestor, John Barton Campbell, who served in the 73rd regiment of Foot after enlisting in Ireland, Gorey County Wexford in 1822. On the enlistment papers his place of birth was stated as Arklow, Co. Wickow c 1804. He did not give any parent details. Perhaps a lister would be able to find out whether the 73rd regiment was stationed in Wicklow around 1804. The name CAMPBELL is a regular in the Mull list, perhaps the name BARTON may be a possible linking point. Can anyone come up with some information on the BARTON family name? Is this a name known in Mull? Bev Rodan John Barton CAMPBELL. Birth: c1804, Arklow, Co. Wicklow. Ire Death: 18 Feb 1871, Pontville. Tas. Burial: St. Matthews Cemetery. Pontville. Tas.

Unfortunately, I do not have any records regarding the rank and file members of the 73rd regiment. Any such records (Soldiers Documents) would only be available at the National Archives in Kew UK (in the War Office records). The number of Mull officers in the 73rd in 1809 that I have been able to identify, to date, is quite small. In fact, they only include some members of Macquarie's extended family: MACLAINE, Archibald John (1778-1815) Son of Gilbert and Marie McLaine of Scallastle; served extensively in India. Commissioned: Ensign (73rd Regiment) 7 February 1794; Lieutenant (73rd) 30 August 1796; Captain (73rd) 25 December 1804; Major (73rd) 28 May 1812. Served in NSW/ VDL: 1810-c1813. Died: June 1815, killed at Battle of Waterloo. MACLAINE, John (c.1792-1818) Nephew of Lachlan Macquarie; son of Murdoch Maclaine (1730-1804) and Jane (nee Campbell of Airds) (1765-1824). Commissioned: Ensign (73rd Regiment) 10 January 1809; Lieutenant (73rd) 8 November 1810. Served in NSW/ VDL: 1810-1814. Served in Ceylon: 1817-1818. Died: 13 January 1818, killed in action near Bootle (Sri Lanka). CAMPBELL, Duncan (1794-1820) Nephew of Lachlan Macquarie; son of James Campbell XVI of Glenfeachan (1760-1808) and Margaret (nee Campbell of Airds) (c1765-1845). Commissioned: Ensign (73rd Regiment) 2 February 1809; Lieutenant (73rd Regiment) 13 November 1810. Served in NSW/ VDL: 1810-1814. Served in Ceylon: 1814-1820. Died: near Trincomalee, 28 September 1820. My impression is that by 1809/1810 the number of soldiers from Mull serving in the 73rd was quite small. Certainly in earlier times in India the proportion was higher, but by 1810 the 73rd was no longer primarity a highland regiment, but had drawn its recruits from both Ireland and England to reach its establishment figure. In fact it was under strength when it came to Australia, and was only able to reach its full strength by accepting approx. 400 members who transferred from the NSW Corps (not officers) rather than returning to Britain. As far as I am aware Lachlan Macquarie had no direct links with the 72nd Regiment of Foot. The situation is somewhat complicated by the fact that this regiment had been re-numbered and/or renamed at various stages between 1786-1823. I am not sure if this helps. I wish you well in your search. kind regards Robin Walsh Macquarie university Library P.S. I am familiar with the Mull Genealogy List; so thank you for the kind offer to forward the list to me but I have a copy already. ***************************************************************************** Quoting gerry <graudzen@bigpond.net.au>: > Hi > I am reasrching Mull ancestor from Mull.Would you have any records of > any 73 regiment of foot men that came with Govenor Mcquarie from Mull, > Ulva and surrounds when he took up his appointment?

If so, then he must be a son of Donald, born 1772 Fort William, Argyllshire, Scotland, died 10/10/1855 Strathalbyn, South Australia, married to Christina McPhee? I have not seen the red book you referenced, but if possible for you to re-send the 8 pages, I would love to read them. Thanks for contacting me!

    3. Jim, Unfortunately we can't send attachments to this list but can send then to an individual. As you mentioned to me you understood that the family came from Mull before they went to the mainland. Do you have any date when they were on Mull? If you want to send me the 8 pages as an attachment I'll have a look for any Mull names in that section and pass them on to the list.

    2. Hi Beverley, I cannot answer the question re whether the 73rd were stationed in Wicklow but I can trace a John Barton Campbell in any of the census or other records on the mullgenealogy website.
