    1. Re: [SCT-ISLEOFMULL] Angus MacLean
    2. Dana & Ryan
    3. Hi Ida, Thank you for all the great information! Yes that is my family that were mentioned in "A Dictionary of Scottish Emigrants to Canada..." Lachlan is their son who was married to Maragret Black. My ancestor was his onther son, Duncan D McLean. I don't know why the spelling changed for my side of the family. (McLean vs MacLean) I was able to find a marriage record for Angus MacLean and Euphemia MacKinnon on ScotlandsPeople. I also found the baptism for several of the children but not my ancestor. I was just in Mull recently and visisted the site of the Killunaig mill. (Where Angus once worked) I have been helped enormously by Michael and Christine. I have some research that was done by a relative, Rev. Ross Currie MacLean from Collingwood, Ontario, Canada. He was a desendent of Lachlan and Margaret Maclean. He was the one who suggested that Angus's father was Hector MacLean, mother Anne MacQuarrie. We are thinking now that it was possibly Allan MacLean and Anne MacQuarrie. Rev. R.C. talks about Angus also coming to Ontario with the his nephews, Alexander and Lachlan. They are sons of Charles MacLean who remained on Mull and a couple of his decendents are Barbra McHarg and Anne Whyte. I'm trying to track down the nephews in Ontario. Flora MacLean and Neil Arbuthnot ended up in Collingwood also. The Hector you named Rev. R.C. names as a son of Angus. (He may have been a grandson?) On his marriage record Angus and Euphemia are named as his parents. The 1881 census has to be Lachlan and Margaret. It has all the right names. Thank you for the links and information! If I find the nephews, Lachlan and Alexander, I will post what I have.

    2. Elizabeth McMillan
    3. I was interested to read the discussion on this topic. My McMILLAN family from Oskamull departed from Liverpool on the New Zealander in 1853 and I too have wondered how they would have travelled from Mull to Liverpool. Also, my McDONALD family from Skye was also on that ship, so they had travelled even further. Regards Libby McMillan

    1. Re: [SCT-ISLEOFMULL] Immigration to Australia (via Liverpool)
    2. EliZabeth asked "I too have wondered how they would have travelled from Mull to Liverpool. Also, my McDONALD family from Skye was also on that ship, so they had travelled even further." There were regular sailings between the Clyde and the west coast ports. Originally by David Hutcheson then his son-in-law David MacBrayne. Whilst the Caledonian Steam Packet Co ran the steamers in the Clyde and, amongst others, down to England. It's the merger of these two companies which form today's CalMac. The earliest railways in Scotland and England were unconnected. Before the Caledonian Railway, the quickest journey between Glasgow and London would have been Glasgow to Liverpool by sea and then Liverpool to London by train. From March 1841 it was possible to catch the train between Glasgow and Greenock, then travel between Greenock and Liverpool by sea; (and then to London by train) Hope this helps Regards Les Sent from my BlackBerry® wireless device

    3. Hi Everyone, My McInnes family immigrated to Australia in late 1848 from Kintra. They sailed from Plymouth on 14 September aboard the Maitland and arrived here on the 7 January 1849. I am wondering if anyone can tell me how they would have got to Plymouth? There were quite a lot of Scottish people on board this ship. Would there have been a steamer or other sailing vessel that would have taken them or would they have gone overland? I am not sure how I would go about finding out this information.

I cant find a marriage for them in Scotland's People. My information arose from a newspaper report of an alleged brawl in 1862 at the Inn in Salen kept by my INNES family Any information would be appreciated.

    3. I was lucky that nature played a part and before arriving in Mull they had a child in Edinburgh in 1833, a difference of 10 yrs from the last child of a marriage in 1810; the benefit of the availability of certificate records. The Gaelic Society of Inverness records contain a poem about seagoing which makes reference to names that may be familiar: "RATS" And do not call at Dorlinn, There are plenty there without you. Avoid Macphail of Drumbuie Since the man has newly arrived there. Spend a night with Lady Gordon But do not go near John Stewart. You will be ferried from Bunavullin Across the Sound of Mull in bondage, And let the schoolmaster count you In case any of you are left behind. If you do not go in Martin's boat Get the fair lads of the "Phoenix2 And if none of them are about the place You will swim if neccessary. And if you make it to Salen Leave David alone since he is poor. Spend a night at the Inn And do not hesitate to take everything you can get hold of. In spite of your eating and drinking there They will have plenty after you have left. Many people are adding to their wealth It was from liquor that they made it. You will reach "Greenhill" at Gruiline Would that the Country was at peace with him: And even if you stay there for some time He will not notice it very much. When you climb Mam Clachaig See that you do not become separated from one another And descend to Kinlock Sgridain And you will get everything you need there. Spend one night in Pennyghael In the house of the old man with the spectacles, And leave nothing in the house except limpets and fishbones for him. Eat all his butter and cheese And all the white-meal and fat there. Addenda: Further information on rats and their movement in satire in Morvern is to be found in: Stewart, Reverend Alexander The Laird of Carsaig at this time was a Maclean who, like Lady Gordon of Drimnin was also involved in clearing people off the land thereby incurring the Bard's wrath.

    3. Hi, Most emigrated from Tobermory, Calgary or Oban. Some vessels started from these ports. Some started further north and then sailed south. These vessels would have had emigrants from Coll and Tiree. Others emigrating started their sea passage from Glasgow, Liverpool and some other ports which now includes Plymouth.

    3. Hi Joy, In those days the seas where the motorways of today. I would imagine that there would have been coastal boats working out of Glasgow that would have made there way down to Plymouth. It could have involved one or more changes of vessel but my best guess would be that they went by boat. Railways were in their infancy and I would think (in relative terms) quite expensive although quicker. Yours are the first family that I have heard off that emigrated via Plymouth.

In Donald Whytes A Dictonary of Scottish Emigrants to Canada before Confederation vol 1 ISBN # 0-920036-09-0 mentions Angus McLean From Killinaig Kilfinchen Isle of Mull Argyl To Mariposa twp Victoria Co Ont 1833 Miller Wife Euphemia McKinnon qv with him and s Lachlan b 21 Jun 1837. Also a different entry the qv part for Euphemia MacKinnon 1793-16 Feb 1864 >From Kilfinchen parish Isle of Mull ARL To Mariposa twp Victoria Co Ont 1833 wife of Angus McLean qv If they are from Killinaig Kilfinchen our vital records were lost crossing Loch Scaridian so we are at a standstill and can only guess at who might be the parents . In the 1871 census for Collingwood twp Grey Co Ontario transcribed by Bruce & Grey Ont Genealogical society. Your John McLean aged 45 b Scotland Presby farmer wife Mary aged 38 (Do you know who her parents were) son Angus 14 Catherine 12 Alexander 11 Janet 8 Euphemia 6 Archibald 4 Flora 1 neighbours William Arbuthnot age 43 and his wife Margaret aged 33 with children (any thing you can add would be greatly appreciated).

    3. Hi Dana, Regret that I cannot help you any further with your search. I have a question for you. You give Hectors dob as 12 Jul 1850. Was he born on a second marriage as I find it hard to believe that Euphemia would have a child at such an elderly age.

It's muchly appreciated Ida ----- Original Message ----- From: Malcolm and Pam McCormick To: m_iking@mcsnet.ca Sent: Monday, November 11, 2013 12:33 AM Subject: Mull Stray Hi Ida Some New Zealand cemetery records are available online as the various branches of the NZ Society of Genealogists have been recording the headstones in their local cemeteries & these records are available through the local District council websites. www.localgovt.co.nz Resource library then search Cemetery Records. NZ archives of births, deaths & marriages are available on www.dia.govt.nz . I haven't been able to find a death for Ann McCormick recorded for the date shown on the headstone but will keep looking. The date of death recorded on the headstone for Alex is I year prior to that recorded on the death certificate.

    1. [SCT-ISLEOFMULL] Military records at Ancestry
    2. Linda M. Towne
    3. This was passed along to me and I'm passing it forward... In honour of Remembrance Day, Ancestry is opening up millions of military records to give everyone the chance to journey back in time and discover the war heroes in their family (link below). Between 08 and 12 November 2013, 3.6 million records will be freely available from four important military collections: WWI Service Records (1914 - 1920) WWII Army Roll of Honour (1939 - 1945) Navy Medal and Roll Awards (1793 - 1972) Victoria Cross Medals (1857 - 2007) Almost every family in the country will have relatives who once served their country, so these records are an excellent source of discovery. Travel back through 100 years of military history to find physical descriptions, next of kin, medals awarded, places served, disciplinary procedures, photos, dates and places of death ? and much more. New WWII collection Ancestry has added new Civilian War Dead records from WWII, which hold the names of 60,000 civilians who perished during the Second World War. People died in their homes, offices, factories, schools and public vehicles during the terrifying bombings and air raids. London was hardest hit so the London Boroughs have lengthy casualty lists, but the collection also covers many other cities, including Manchester, Birmingham, Nottingham and York. http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-7281757-11582783 --

    3. Hi Malcolm and Pam Thank you for the Mull strays posting. I like Linda M Towne at manateemum@gmail.com agree on who the family was on Mull. Might I ask for a tiny favour from you. If the NZ cemetery records are on-line or are easlily accessable to you. Ann's mother Margaret McDonald b abt 1801 who's husband was Donald may also be in the NZ cemetery records as well. She's in 1851 at Bra Chreich in son Alexanders h/h so her husband Donald probably died before the 1851 census.
