The 1871 census (on Scotlandspeople) for Margaret McKinnon in Ardchiavaig has grandson Hector's surname as Simpson. This Hector Simpson is again in the 1881 census as grandson aged 11 to Margaret McKinnon, (in Uisken) but his birthplace is given as Glasgow, though there are no births for a Hector there. The 1891 has only 1 record for a Hector Simpson and he is in Glasgow aged 22 but gives birthplace as Dundee, again no record of a birth there. This Hector is in the house of 'Irvine's' and he is a relative. There is also an infant Mary Simpson in the house aged a few mnths, also a relative. Only 1 death turned up for a Hector Simpson, in Shetland aged 80 with different parents.

John I got out the 1881 census for Hector Simpson in Glasgow, I don't know why I wrote daught Mary in the e mail there is nothing in the census to say this, the head of household is a Francis Irvine widower M 62yrs. both Hector 22yrs. b. Dundee and Mary 9mths. b.Glasgow are relatives of the head of house, I know I searched at the time for a birth of this Hector in Dundee and didn't find him, I've just logged into my scotland's people account (nearly a year since I was last there!) I didn't keep the hector simpson records, I deleted a lot of records once and often wish I hadn't so I won't do it again, anyway I do have the list for Hector McKinnon's aged 20 -23 1891 census there are 6, as none are on Mull and I don't want to clogg the list with non Mull info if you want I can send them seperatly, you also Jim if you are interested as Hector is related to us all, I did this search in 2003 I know SP may have added more records over the years, there is a Hector McKinnon on the 1891 census Tyree, I don't think the 1891 census is online but the 1881 census for Tyree is online (thanks Keith) and there is a Hector McKinnon aged 11yrs. so I think we can discount the Tyree one, that leaves 5, Frances --- On Fri, 29/7/11, Frances Caple <[email protected]> wrote: From: Frances Caple <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [SCT-ISLEOFMULL] roll-call of research interests -Effy McKinnon and son Hector Mckinnon To: [email protected] Date: Friday, 29 July, 2011, 16:15 hello I've just caught up with all the numerous messages lately, never happened before but you've all been more chatty than my quilt lists ;o) Margaret thank you for helping John and John sorry if I had not already given you the info I have on the Hector McKinnon born to Euphemia 1869 (can't remember date just now) I hardly do any family history now but I researched this a long time ago so from what I remember, I first learnt that a Hector Simpson was living with my gggrandmother Margaret McKinnon nee Brown on the census records at the Ross of Mull historical centre about a decade ago, Linda was always a mine of information and very helpful, it was Hectors surname that got me soooo interested as my ggrandfather Dugald McKinnon, Margaret's son married a Mary Simpson, so they was I sitting in the historical centre thinking my ggrandparents had a child no one down in London where they married and settled knew about, the only Hector Simpsons I found born at this time were in Edinburgh and Shetland (I think or Orkney) the northern isles, then I found Hector McKinnon the one John has posted about and think it likely the Euphemia is my ggranddad's big sister, the name Simpson still interests me, I searched for both Hector and Euphemia with both McKinnon and Simpson surnames always deadends, help anyone out there help, next the Hector Simpson in Glasgow with daughter Mary, Mary!!!!!! when I found this I thought there HAS to be a connection with my ggrandparents, all you researchers that go by family names well I searched and searched but nothing a big fat zero the reason for not finding what happened to Euphemia McKinnon b. about 1847/8 is probably that she did marry and her married name is unknown, I know I have searched for marriages but those I bought were not my Euphemia, I don't think I exhusted the list though, if anyone is doing research on the marriage of a Euphemia McKinnon born about 1847/8 I can sort out the marriages I have and give info, none are Mull marriages, happy searching Frances --- On Thu, 28/7/11, margaret murray <[email protected]> wrote: From: margaret murray <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [SCT-ISLEOFMULL] roll-call of research interests -Effy McKinnon and son Hector Mckinnon To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, 28 July, 2011, 13:40 Hello John, Don't know if this is any help, you may already have.
