Linda Transcription of headstone looks correct, so I've no idea why death differs slightly from the official record Also mentioned on the headstone are nephews Hugh and David Polson, and I have their father David married to Mary McKinnon (dau of Hector/Ann) If Mary's marriage to David Polson snr can be confirmed, then it is indeed the family you suggest Michael www.mullfamilies.co.uk ----- Original Message ----- From: "Linda (MacCormick) Towne" <manateemum@gmail.com> To: <sct-isleofmull@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2013 3:30 PM Subject: [SCT-ISLEOFMULL] Ann McDonald/Hector McKinon > Hello all. > I'm looking at the following gravestone transcription on MullGen (from > Jo Curries notes) > > McDonald, Ann [Gravestone, Kilmore] Erected by John McKinnon in memory > of his Mother Ann McDonald who died 4 December 1878 aged 80 yrs; also > his brother & sister Hector & Jessie who died in infancy. > > Best fit I can find is Ann McDonald who married Hector McKinnon.

Thank you. I have found a marriage for David Polson and Mary McKinnon which shows her father as Hector McKinnon so I think it's match. 15 Feb 1853 West Or Old Parish,Greenock,Renfrew,Scotland On 9/18/2013 10:54 AM, MF wrote: > Linda > > Transcription of headstone looks correct, so I've no idea why death differs > slightly from the official record > > Also mentioned on the headstone are nephews Hugh and David Polson, and I > have their father David married to Mary McKinnon (dau of Hector/Ann) > > If Mary's marriage to David Polson snr can be confirmed, then it is indeed > the family you suggest > > > Michael > www.mullfamilies.co.uk > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Linda (MacCormick) Towne" <manateemum@gmail.com> > To: <sct-isleofmull@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2013 3:30 PM > Subject: [SCT-ISLEOFMULL] Ann McDonald/Hector McKinon > > >> Hello all. >> I'm looking at the following gravestone transcription on MullGen (from >> Jo Curries notes) >> >> McDonald, Ann [Gravestone, Kilmore] Erected by John McKinnon in memory >> of his Mother Ann McDonald who died 4 December 1878 aged 80 yrs; also >> his brother & sister Hector & Jessie who died in infancy. >> >> Best fit I can find is Ann McDonald who married Hector McKinnon.
