Hi, My name is Marilyn MacKay and I come from Melbourne Australia. I am researching my husband's family from Mull. I have been researching now for some 25 years. Researching Harriet Livingston (married name McNiven) who was born in Auliston, Morvern about 1814, married Stewart McNiven in Morvern 23 April 1839 after which they moved to Tobermory. Harriet's parents were Archibald Livingston and Cirsty MacIntyre born approximately 1780. All children born in Morvern at different places as they were moved on because of the clearances. Their children were Sarah born c1803 died 1888, Mary c1805, Ann c1806, Margaret (Peggy) 20/3/1808, Jean 5/11/1809, then Harriet c1814 (no record found of birth) - 17/5/1881, Duncan 12/2/1817 and John c1818 - 27/10/1892. Her husband Stewart (William on death certificate) was born in Tuam, Galway about 1806 and he died in Tobermory 30/1/1883. He was a Tailor. His father Duncan McNiven was an Army Sergeant who must have been stationed in Tuam, Ireland when Stewart was born. I have only found 4 children to him and Sarah or Marion McLean. I do not have any information about Sarah McLean. I am sure there are more children but cannot find any records. I do have Ann McNiven born about 1803 and died 28/6/1878, Alexander born c1815 died 15/11/1896 and John born 2/1/1818. Ann was not married, John married Ann McKenzie c1855 and they had three children that I know of. Alexander married Mary Livingston on 29 Mat 1836 and they had 5 children. I think Duncan McNiven is the son of Alexander McNiven and Jean Campbell born 1/19/1780 at Lettermore, Kilninian and Kilmore. Alexander and Jean married at Balliscate, Kilninian and Kilmore on 18/7/1769. They had 11 children. Marilyn MacKay
