Good Morning All I have been trying to find out what happened to the above individual. He appears in the Parish Register for Kilfinichen and Kilvickeon as the son of Donald Beaton and Christina McGilvray in 1830, registered on 15th September. He still seems to be in the Ross of Mull in the 1851 census when he appears in the household of the above (although listed as age 15 - but I have got used to dealing with odd ages at this point in time in the Ross of Mull) and his occupation given as agricultural labourer. However, between 1851 and 1861 he disappears off the census record, and I have been unable to find a record of his death in the statutory records, which gives me cause to think that he may have emigrated. His memory lived on in the family, as his younger brother John Beaton ,who married Catherine McLean in 1876 named one of his sons after him (this Donald b 1881 d 1917 Arras). The question I am asking is, has this individual turned up in anyone's research?
