Many thanks. It would be interesting if anyone knows any more about the relationships of the people on that page or so of the census. Looking at the 1851 census I didn't seem to find the McKinnon s from that family. Is anyone working through Tobermory in the censuses plotting particular family groupings? On the subjetc of Ancestry.com in the Scottish transcriptions, there is a bit of a challenge on this page of the census as when I looked for Barbara's entry using infomration gleaned from Scotlandspeople I was initiallly unable to find it as it looks like the surnames McKinnon and Campbell have a different transcription from that on Scotlandspeople - from memory I believe Campbell was transcribed as Camphor. Still, I have found some very useful information using the Ancestry.com library edition. Best Wishes Duncan ........................... Hi Pam I'm not sure if this will help or not. The McPhee information seems to be similar but I can't prove anything here.
