I found this gentleman and his wife Ann MacLaren, he must be related, both by fact of name and geography. I couldn't find Inveravon on the British Gazetteer however, I did find the river Avon whil runs almost parallel to Glen Livet both around Tomintoul one east and one west. They are tributaries to the River Spey.
