Hi June Re: 'Strange Name' & McCormick connection: I have read your emails on the Mull list in relation to the given name of your relative. There is no doubt that the transcribing of names is often inaccurate and also the scribe who wrote it down originally, may have misheard or not understood. Someone once told me that the census takers did not always visit the village and relied on second hand information to fill in their forms - which is a further complication. I have often sent messages to the list and so you may recall my name from time to time. I keep trying to make connections with others, but no luck so far ... On this occasion, I noted your McCormick connection and the name - John Angus. My grandfather was John Angus McMillan and my father had a brother named John Angus McMillan. His father (ie my gg grandfather) was John Angus McMillan - born in Mull (Ulva Parish). This John Angus McMillan's parents were Archibald McMillan and Flora McIntyre - who were both born in Mull, but died in Victoria Australia. Archibald and Flora McMillan came to Victoria in 1853 on the New Zealander. Both have Christina McCormick listed on their death certificates as their mother. Their children were: Marrion 'Sarah', Mary, Angus, John, Alexander, Ann, Christy. Regards Libby McMillan

Sorry Libby, I can't really help. I personally have McCormick relatives but they are all from the Creich area and the reason I was looking for info on John Angus and his family is because I am doing a bit of resaerch on the families from Kintra. Good luck with your search.
