Hi Nancy. You are correct in one way but wrong in another. Firstly it is not Craignure Elementary School, but Lochdon (Lochdonhead) Primary School. I attended this school from 1954 until 1967, when I left and went to Oban High School. Christina, or known to my sisters and I as aunty Chrissy stayed here with her brother Peter until she retired in 1969 or 1970. I am not sure when exactly. She was the solo teacher there for quite a number of years and if she had to go away to a teachers meeting she would leave here brother Peter in charge. There was only one classroom in the school at this time when I was there as the second one had been made into a dining room a number of years before I attended. All years from primary one until primary seven were taught by her on her own in the one classroom. There were only twelve pupils in the school when I was there but there were more than this before I went to it. Also after I left there were 30 odd in it with an extension having been built on to it containing another classroom and changing room in about 1970. I think the roll is back down to the early teens again as the school authority are teaching Gaelic in Salen primary school in a total immersion project and this means taking pupils from the area. I hope this is of some help to you, if you need more I will try and see if I can get you more than this. Alex. ________________________________ From: mackay <mackay@computan.on.ca> To: sct-isleofmull@rootsweb.com Sent: Tuesday, 4 February 2014, 0:40 Subject: [SCT-ISLEOFMULL] Craignure Elementary School Christina McLachlan (1900- 1978), I am told, was the teacher for many years at the Craignure Elementary School.

Hi, I have just received the following reporting the said news of the passing of Donald who made a good number of contribution to this list. I remember him well from the genealogical gathering on Mull and meeting him in London on a couple of occasions. I have already passed on sympathies to Malcolm but those of you who remember Donald might wish to add there own personal message. Ian I’m writing to you to let you know that sadly, Donald McIlhagga passed away on 21st of January 2014. You may have known that he had been struggling with cancer for this past year. There is to be a service in celebration of his life and a gathering afterwards. We would very much like it if you are able to come and we would appreciate it if you are able to pass a copy of this email on to anyone you know who you feel would want to come. The funeral is to be held at Cuthbert's Church, Norham, Northumberland at 1pm on the 3rd of February 2014. After the funeral we are inviting everyone to join the family at Paxton House between 2:30pm and 4:30pm for refreshments. We have arranged the interment as a way for Donald’s Grandchildren to say goodbye, so it will be for immediate family only and on the next day at Hundy Mundy Woodland Burial Ground. Please don’t buy or send flowers. We would prefer, if you wish, that an equivalent donation be made to Cancer Research atcancerresearchuk.org/donate If possible please let Malcolm know how many are coming on malcolm@mcilhagga.net (or by replying to this email).

It has always been hard to know which Maclean of Gruline is being talked about but a couple of comments. The will quoted by Linda says Mary's father was John Lorne, son of Allan, son of Charles. I believe this John Maclean, died May 1792, tacksman to Lochbuie, was the son of Allan Maclean of Suie and Marion Campbell. He became known as "Gruline' after shifting there on becoming tacksman. Though said to be a bachelor he had at least a son, Archibald, by a local woman probably Mary Maclean. His nephew John Maclean of Gruline, son of Hector Maclean of Torren and Julian Maclaine was also a bachelor. The timeline fits better for the first John, died 1792. Duncan Maclean servant to Lochbuie in 1656, born cir 1640 or earlier, son Angus, son Duncan died 1770 ?, son Alexander born 1777? This is a span of about 140 years - appears to be a generation missing from this line? Edwin Maclean ----- Original Message ----- From: <twbennion@nc.rr.com> To: <sct-isleofmull@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, January 19, 2014 8:05 AM Subject: Re: [SCT-ISLEOFMULL] Duncan Maclean, of Uisken Have just finished reading the will of Lt.-Col. (it is signed Alexander MacLean, Late Lt. Col. 3d W. I . Regt), and hoping that someone can help me understand the last paragraph. It reads: "In accordance to the wishes of my mother the remains of her father John Lorne Maclean to be exhumed from Knock in Mull and interred in Rolic Oran Island of Iona in the grave of his father Alean MacCharlich, Alan Maclean and his ancestor (Ian Larnach Mor) the great John Lorne Maclean is desire being undiscovered till after his funeral which last must be done before this is brought into being". Interment - could this be Reilig Odhrain Burial Ground which is south of the Abbey on Iona? Or possibly Saint Orans Chapel Cemetery on Iona? Does anyone know if there is a transcription for either or both of these cemeteries? His mother - she being Mary Maclean of Grulin/Gruline - her father's name would be John Lorne Maclean, who was a son of Alan Maclean? - and I really can't figure out "Ian Larnach Mor". Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks, Linda
The National Library of Scotland (NLS) is planning to develop a new research centre at Kelvin Hall, Glasgow. It will include facilities for the general public to conduct research as well as meeting rooms and a café, and will offer access to digital content currently only available through the NLS Reading Rooms in Edinburgh. The digital content includes e-books, newspapers, manuscripts, maps and magazines. The centre will also offer access to the Scottish Screen Archive and Sound Scotland. The NLS is seeking feedback by way of a questionnaire from historical societies and other interested groups or individuals to help define what facilities and services will be provided at the new centre. You are invited to complete the questionnaire at <http://surveys.scotinform.co.uk/NLS%20Kelvin%20Hall/snnls_kelvin_hall.htm> http://surveys.scotinform.co.uk/NLS%20Kelvin%20Hall/snnls_kelvin_hall.htm . The closing date for the survey is 31 January, so there isnt much time. All responses will be confidential and no individuals will be identified in the reporting. ___________________________ Keith Dash Sydney, Australia <http://www.tireegenealogy.com> www.tireegenealogy.com <http://www.collgenealogy.com> www.collgenealogy.com

Hi Margaret, The Ontario marriage records for the marriage of Charles Fletcher & Catherine Stewart list her parents as Robert Stewart & Catherine McKillop.

Hi Linda, >> Interment - could this be Reilig Odhrain Burial Ground which is south of the Abbey on Iona? Or possibly Saint Orans Chapel Cemetery on Iona? Does anyone know if there is a transcription for either or both of these cemeteries? It would be almost certainly be Reilig Odhrain. Most of the old MI's there are completely unreadable. Some areas are completely devoid of markers. I recall reading somewhere that an area of the burial ground was cleared years ago because of the dangerous state of the markers.
