I recently put in a request to the list for anyone who might have a connection to Catherine Macquarie who married Donald McDonald and had a number of children including Marion who married Hector McDonald from Stenschell Skye. My direct line is to Hector McDonald from Skye and he married Marion in Branxholme in Victoria in 1867. Catherine was the daughter of Sarah McLean and Torquil Macquarie. I had no response - however, is this likely to be the same family Macquarie family that is being discussed in the last few entries? I don't know where in Mull this Catherine Macquarie and husband Donald McDonald come from - although I have found one family in Iona in the 1867 census - does anyone,on reflection, have a connection to this family? Regards to all Libby McMillan

Hi Libby, Ida & list I thought I would state for the record that I have no knowledge of this Catherine (& her father Torquil) MACQUARRIE & Donald MCDONALD, hence my silence on the matter. I know I have been quiet on this list, but I am still lurking around, and will certainly pipe up if I have something to contribute :-) I am tracing the descendants of Lt Col Lachlan MACQUARIE's siblings Betty MACQUARIE & Farquhar MACLAINE and Charles MACQUARIE & Marianne WILLISON. Nothing is known of the parentage of the MACQUARIE sibling's father, also named Lachlan. However, their mother Margaret (Peggy) MACLAINE, had MACQUARRIE ancestry, her grandfather being Lachlan MACQUARRIE 14th of Ulva, but I have not delved into his other descendants at this stage. Happy Australia Day for yesterday, to all my fellow Aussies in this list. It was a beautiful day on Sydney harbour, and the sight of the tall ships racing certainly conjured up images of how my Mull ancestors may have arrived in Australia (actually at Portland in Victoria, on the same boat, the 'New Zealander', as Libby's MCMILLAN ancestors).
