Hi Michelle Sorry about that :-) Maybe it's one of those happy coincidences :-[ Just so I can check my facts this Charles McQuarrie that marries Marianne Willison. He is also the father of the illegitimate son with Janet McLean. Hector "Hero" McQuarrie bapt Jul 3 1794 in Moy TRS 7020101, 10. In Jo's MIP pg 432 the McQuarrie it states that Charles and Janet's son Hector "the Hero" m's Margaret Simpson both appear to die 1836 So I wonder who this is then? Lieut. Hector MacQuarie and Cursty McLucaish, Ulva, a son Hugh McLaine (as MacQuarie in IGI C115444, 1005) bapt. 26 Jan. 1829 Any thoughts Ida Michelle Giza-Vink wrote: >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.

Hi Ida & List Yes, Hector 'The Hero' (quite ironic really) MACQUARIE was Charles's illegitimate son. My original info from John Ritchie's biog of Lachlan Macquarie said Hector: Quit the army to live with him (Charles) on Ulva. Shortly before Charles's death, Hector had fled his creditors, enlisted in the 55th and sailed with his wife, Margaret, for India where he died in 1836. (p220) Robin Walsh of the Macquarie Room at Macquarie University has obtained new information which reveals that Hector's wife Margaret Simpson died in childbirth in India in 1836, but that Hector actually died in Coventry 9th Jan 1845. You can find this info here: http://www.lib.mq.edu.au/all/journeys/people/profiles/hector.html Robin also says that Hector was living with his father Charles in Ulva 1829-1930, so he would almost certainly have been the father of Hugh Maclaine MACQUARIE bapt 26 Jan 1829. Hector seems to have been quite the tomcat, as evidenced by his behaviour while in his uncle Lachlan's service in Australia, so I am sure this Hugh would have been illegitimate, as there is no mention of a marriage to Cursty McLucaish. Furthermore, Hugh Maclaine MACQUARIE may possibly have been named after his cousin Hugh MACLAINE (b 1781, the 2nd son of Farquhar MACLAINE & Betty MACQUARIE), as Hugh had recently died in Jamaica 13th Oct 1828. So those are my thoughts. I wonder if Hugh appears in the Mull 1841 census?
