Hi Ian, Long time no talk. I see you are on Mull now and wanted to catch you while you were there to see if you can enquire again about two Mull censuses (1776 and 1792) that would be very valuable additions to Mull research. Last year when I was at MUGG, I had asked about these censuses at the Mull Museum and the Ross of Mull archives, but to no avail. I mean,not only did they not have them, but they said they hadn’t hear of them. Curious since you have them listed on your website www.mullgenealogy.co.uk , under FAQs, Census Details as follows: -1776 Accurate farm by farm census -1792 Accurate farm by farm census compiled in October I know the 1776 census should be available even though the 1792 may not be. When I was at the Tiree archive last year, I saw the 1776 Census for Tiree which they had recently obtained. It is property of the Duke of Argyll, but I think the Tiree archive obtained it indirectly via the Argyll and Bute Archives (who obtained it from the Duke of Argyll Archives). This leads me to believe that the Mull Museum, or some other official body on Mull, should be able to obtain the 1776 Census for Mull. I have found the 1776 census for Tiree invaluable when used together with the 1779 census. A researcher can compare the entries and verify individuals and families, finding missing members, changes of surnames, etc. Also, in the 1776 census, like the 1779 census, those priceless maiden names are used for the women. I will put the details of the 1792 census in a separate message, since it requires quite a bit of explanation. Hope you are able to make some enquiries while you are there, Thanks, Louise ___________________________ Louise MacDougall Vancouver Island, BC Canada
