The Weather in Yorkshire is almost as hot as it was in Slovenia 10 days ago wish we had stayed a bit longer ! mind you it looks like the Highlands could be wet again shortly . To serious matters I am still trying to trace the ancestry of James McBeath who married Ann McBeath in Reisk 1798, he was a member of the 2nd. Sutherland Fencibles and like a bolt out of the blue it occured to me over the weekend that as the Fencibles were raised from the Sutherland Estate he must have come from same ? At least I think so I have seen references to lists of possible recruits tried various Military sites but all to no avail the English Fencible Regiments seem so well documented and to think without the S.F.R. no Thin Red Line and no Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders ( said tongue in cheek) Has anybody any ideas? Christine says it,s a bit quiet so I,ll prattle on a bit more.John Sutherland my Great Great Grandfather lived at Ladies Loch Brora my Uncle in Inverness says it is now a ruin b! ut I cannot find it any ideas I have asked Ronnie at the Brora website to have a look this is a good site. My Mum Margaret Jane Robertson prior to her marriage was a Side School Teacher at West Langwell Has anybody got a nice photo of the side school (now a house)? My Maternal Grandmother was the Daughter of Donald Reid and Jane Ferguson who Married at Bona? Free Church in 1872 Donalds parents were William Reid and Catherine Swanson who married at Loth in 1840 I wonder if there are any descendants in Loth now ?. Last but not least Margaret McBeath 2nd. wife of Neil McBeath died on the 24th. March 1867 at Doll I cannot find her Burial, Neil died at Doll in 1873 and again I cannot find Burial. Their son James my Great Grandfather had two wifes Christina Sutherland married the 8th. of September 1871 at Knockarthur and died 1874 where? He married Margaret Sutherland at Lairg in 1879 they both lived at Achnaggarrin Rogart she died in 1916 living at Inchomney Rogart again I do ! not know where she is buried Any help appreciated Iain

I'm awfully sorry, I know how frustrating that can be. The only 'difference' I can see in how I've put the website is the ~ sign, which on the website is higher up than I can put it. Could I suggest a search on Coigeach or Tanera will probably bring up the site? It's how I first found it myself.

Good idea Christine, I'm getting withdrawal symptoms, not having my usual quota of 20-30 messages! I know this is the Sutherland site, but some might be interested in my favourite one which is covering Coigeach in Ross and Cromarty. It is: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~coigeach/ In the same way as I am currently trying to find my MacLeods and Mathesons (pre-1800) in Sutherland, some might find their ancestors moved into Ross and Cromarty. There is census data and lots more of interest, so I hope some try - and like it as much as I do.

Hi Carolyn Have spent all afternoon looking at your tree. Are you sure that Eric is an Eric? I found an Erica for this family which for reasons unknown to me and totally logically apparently is often taken to be Henrietta! Can you assure me I am looking for a male Eric and can anyone out there explain the use of Henrietta and Erica as the same name? Has it something to do with Gaelic? Also thought you would all like to know that once again we have a batch of new members. If you still have had no response to your particular search time for another go?

Duncan Munro married Christina Murray in Dornoch 1795. They had the following three sons John born 1799, Hugh born 1801 and Eric born1806. Now Duncan's father was John Munro of Kiltearn,R/C So his first son is named after his father. The second son is Hugh. Is this the father of Christina Murray. I have found a birth for a Hugh Murray born circa 1759 Dornoch and his wife Margaret Gun born circa 1763. Can anyone prove or disprove that these two people are Christina Murray's parents...Help, tear down this stone wall PLEASE. Does anyone have a Hugh or Eric Munro in their Line??

Perhaps you have your own site with your genealogy or a site which you really find useful and which would interest others? Summer weather in Britain is making it more fun to be outdoors than stuck to computers at present. Hope it is like that wherever you live.

Hi Everybody, I did subscribe to the list last week but seemingly, for the reason Christine explained, my introduction didn't make it to the list. I'll try again. My name is James GIBSON, known as Jim. My grandfather, also James Gibson, left Golspie in 1884 at the age of 21, in company with his brother Norman, aged 17 to emigrate to New Zealand. They were sons of Hugh GIBSON (1829 - 1911) and Margaret McDONALD (1825 - 1906). Hugh was born in Evelix, Dornoch and Margaret in Knockarthur, Rogart. Hugh's parents were Thomas GIBSON (c1775 - 1841) and Isabella McKAY (c1893 - 1873) and Margaret's parents were Alexander McDONALD (c1797 - 1871) and Elizabeth or Betsy McKAY (1804 - 1866). NB. Most of these details were submitted on my behalf before I joined the list by Robin Van BELLEGHAM and Christine provided some information in return. Thank you Robin and Christine. In one of your messages Christine, you referred to Annabella MacDONALD recorded in the 1851 Census as living with her grandmother at Coul and born in Dornoch. You then said she may be the same Annabella McDONALD born to Alexander McDONALD and Elizabeth McKAY on 30 June 1841 in Rogart, but that it would be difficult to prove because of the differing birth places. However all Alexander and Elizabeth's 11 children, older and younger than Annabella, are listed in the OPR as being born in Knockarthur, Rogart. In the same 1851 Census, Annabella is not listed with the rest of her family at Knockarthur, obviously because she was living with her grandmother. I think grandma therefore got it wrong, when she had Annabella's birthplace recorded as Dornoch. Not absolute proof I agree Christine but good enough for me. You did say that you were trying to sort out the Rogart McDONALDs. Best of luck - it'll be quite a job because there a lot of them. Some years ago I recorded all the McDONALDs I could find in the Rogart OPR and promised myself that one day I'd try to sort them out. You may have motivated me to make a start. Robin, in a recent message to me, quoted Christine as saying, "There was a Norman McDONALD family in Rogart said to come from a Major McDONALD. Norman appears to be the son of a James McDONALD son of the Major." I am puzzled about this Major. Does anyone know his name. My g.g.g.grandfather was Norman McDONALD ie the above Alexander's father. Norman had another son, James married to Barbara McKAY. He was a sergeant, a veteran of the 93rd Regiment. One of their sons was a Norman McDONALD who lived most of his life at Torbreck, Rogart and another son was Lieut John McDONALD of the 1st Sutherland R.V. My g.g.g.grandfather, Norman had a brother John McDONALD and hi! s grandson, Sir John Alexander McDONALD became the first prime minister of the Canadian Federation. I wonder how many of listers living in Canada know that Sir John's roots are in Rogart. I have a transcript of an article written in 1923 in the "Northern Times" by a Colonel Gilbert GUNN in which attempts to sort out Sir John's forebears. They originated in Brecachadh, Knockarthur, Rogart. His father, Hugh lived in both Dalmore and Rovie, Strath Fleet and he owned shops in both places before moving to Glasgow. There he married Helen SHAW and it was in Glasgow that Sir John was born. Christine also referred to Thomas GIBSON, my g.g.grandfather who was a crofter at Camore, Evelix, Dornoch. I do not know where he was born. His mother's death is recorded at Evelix on 14 March 1824. No name was recorded, just Thomas GIBSON's mother who died old and blind. As Christine pointed out, Gibsons were rather thin on the ground in Sutherland - the name doesn't seem to belong there. There is a family legend which claims they came there as a result of a shipwreck at Portmahomack on the south side of Dornoch Firth. Does anyone know how this could be checked out. I've gone on at great length I'm afraid. Please forgive me - I'll try to be briefer next time. By the way Christine I found your personal web-site recently. I thought it was very good. Congratulations.

Hi Everyone, I have obtained a copy of an extract from the LDS records of my gg grandparents DONALD MUNRO and HELEN SUTHERLAND'S marriage. It tells me nothing except the date they married and that it took place in Dornoch. My question is if I apply for a Full Marriage Certificate will it show any more details like names of parents etc or am I wasting my money. Regards, Judy. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Judy It depends on the date they married. Prior to 1855 you may only get the name of their croft and sometimes not even that. From 1855 you will get a wealth of information including both sets of parents, whether they are alive or dead, occupations of the fathers, occupation of the bride and groom and the address they were living at.

Hello Peter, I am also interested in early Matheson data. I posted an entry just prior to yours, but in essence, I have a Dugald Matheson, son of Murdoch and Mary Matheson, born c.1800 or slightly earlier - where? On one census entry he states Skye, but on others he is stated as born Lochbroom. He certainly ended up in Lochbroom, and was on the Summer Isles Tanera Mor, where he raised a family. I could not find sign of Murdoch, his father on Tanera at least. Like you, I love the area north of Ullapool. I came to the Western Isles - escaping from London with my husband, in 1987. Never regretted it! Would like to know how you got your early Matheson information as it has been suggested to me that the Mathesons on Skye were moved to Tanera to 'support' the tacksman. Seems there might be a connection within the Matheson family somewhere? Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Peter Great to see your name appear on this list - sometime ago I found a message of yrs when you still lived in NZ - old address was a chartered accountant address - but by that time you had taken flight to parts overseas so am anxious to see if your family might have a link to mine My mother in law - Mina Matheson came from Edinburgh but had family connectons in Oldsmoreshore Her mother was Williamina (Mina) Corbert and she married James Munro and they lived at Achlyness overlooking Loch Inchard - incidentally the house is still there in Achlyness. Willamina's parents were John Corbett and Betty (Betsy) Paterson married at Fodderty on 23 December 1830 Believe their childlren to be: John, Elizabeth, Alexandrina, Ann, Isabella, Williamina and Murdoch. My Alexandrina born 10 February 1844.

Dear All, Just wondering whether anyone can help me with information on Murdoch Mackay born in Farr about 1770. Her married Barbara Gordon about 1795. I have no information on her, as well. One of their children was James Mackay b 26 May 1800 at Farr. He moved to Latheron during the clearances. I know a fair amountabout James ( my great great grandfather, but almost nothing about Murdoch and Barbara. Can anyone help. David Mackay

To Lynn, Cathy, Marg and others who helped with the census details of Neil Mackay family in Zorra. Within hours of my request I had received the information I needed. You are all absolutely great!

There are no places of birth with this census. I cannot find Neil in either the west or east Zorra census. Since he died in 1852 I am wondering if he may have died just prior to the census??? I did find a Catherine MacKay age 65 living with Donald MacKay age 29 and Christian age 27. Is it possible that Catherine was living with her children upon the death of her husband Neil. The children's ages are a little off but I guess that is not unusual. I also found a John Mackay age 36 and wife Catherine whose oldest two children were Neil age 10 and Catherine age 8. Could John be a brother of Donald and Christian- Children of Neil and Catherine MacKay??? Neil is a very uncommon name in the MacKay of Zorra too!! That is all for now.

Hi Morag and Peter Welcome to the list. Glad to hear you enjoyed Scotland as much as I know I will enjoy your country when I get there next year. Really looking forward to that trip. Is this the family information on the Grants of Grimachary you are after? There are quite a few people on this list who can fill in gaps for you on the Grants. Because I have literally hundreds of references I number them. Only way I can keep track! G155/1 DONALD GRANT married ANN FRASER [born circa 1740] Donald, a farmer, and Ann had the following children: JOHN, born circa 1770 Achnamoine, Kildonan [died 15 June 1855 Gremachary - bachelor]; GEORGE, born 1782 Anchimerch, Kildonan [died 1 May 1857 Gremachary - grass keeper in Kildonan] [married Helen Fraser - see G235] and ALEXANDER - see G041 . John Grant lived for sometime at Bad-an-t-seabhaig and then with his brother George in Breacachadh, Kildonan. He is buried with his brother George at Achancean near Kinbrace, Kildonan. He was described as "a meek and loveable Christian". Donald Grant and Ann Fraser were strictly religious. G235 GEORGE GRANT married HELEN FRASER [1782-1/5/1857] [born 1817] George of Gremachory (Ghriamachary), Kildonan, was born in Feith-na-fala near Achnamoine, Kildonan, son of Donald Grant and Ann Fraser - see G155/1. He and Helen (Helene) married on 15 July 1842 at Breacachadh, Kildonan (OPR). Helen is the daughter of Alasdair Fraser or Beag. Being a very religious family, they observed the Sabbath very rigidly. George Grant was very hospitable to men who tramped the countryside - when staying with him, some appreciated his strict religiousness while others resented it. George served in the 93rd Highlanders and was at the Battle of New Orleans where he lost an arm. He died in 1857 at Greamachary and is buried with his brother John at Achancean near Kinbrace, Kildonan. He and Helen had the following children born in Kildonan (IGI): ANNE, born 1 August 1843 [married Alexander Rutherford - had daughters - emigrated to Australia]; KATHARINE, born 12 December 1844 [died 28 September 1865] (GY); DONALD, born 18 March 1847 [married Elizabeth Clark]; ALEXANDER, born circa 1850 [died 22 September 1922] [married Margaret Taylor - see G052]; WILLIAM, born 1852 [married Kate McLeod]; GEORGE JOHN, born 16 December 1857 [died 16 April 1862] (GY). Helen Fraser died in Evelix, Dornoch. The family are buried in Invershin (GY68/11). (Donald Fraser, a relative, signed George's death certificate.) G052 ALEXANDER GRANT married MARGARET TAYLOR [1850-22/9/1922] [1857-12/12/1946] Alexander, a farmer in Evelix, Dornoch, was born at Gremachary, Kildondan, son of George Grant and Helen Fraser - see G235. He and Margaret, who was born in Elgin, married in Elgin on 30 September 1879. Margaret is the daughter of William Taylor and Margaret Forsyth. At the time of her wedding Margaret was the housekeeper at Kinbrace. At this time Alexander was farming at his home in Gremachary (Greamachary). They had the following children: CATHERINE (Kate), born 1880 Griamachary [died 12 March 1963 London] (GY): MARGARET FORSYTH, born 22 December 1886 Evelix [died 18 January 1982] [married John Murray - see G417] (BC); DONALD, born 21 June 1889 Evelix [died 29 November 1982 London] (GY); CHRISTINA, born 1895 [died 23 January 1916]; WILLIAM ALEXANDER, born 1897 [died 29 January 1926] [married Mary Mackay - see G495]; WILLIAM, died infant; HELEN, born 1893 [died 12 November 1925] [married Archibald Auld Ure - see G248]. In 1881 Alexander and Margaret were living at Gremachary with their baby daughter, Catherine. Alexander and his wife are buried in Dornoch (GY182/281). On the other names you mention you speak of Torbreck, Assynt - could you mean Torbreck in Rogart?

Forgot to mention - the 1871 Canadian census gives country of birth, usually no city. The 1901 census gives more detail, including the year of immigration to Canada.

Canada has not allowed the LDS to film census records because of the Mormon practice of baptizing these people. Even though the LDS is now going to separate names into two groups, those submitted by church members and those acquired by other means (who presumably would not be baptized), Canada will still not allow filming of provincial records. I have viewed Canadian census films obtained through interlibrary loan; that is the only way I know to see them other than visiting Canada. Some of the McKays in Zorra are ours: William Bain McKay, b. April 1809, Creich +Christene Sutherland, b. 1810 Donald, b. 1835, Kincardine, Ross & Cromarty Johanne, b. 1837, Kincardine, Ross & Cromarty Alexander, b. 1839, Kincardine, Ross & Cromarty Ellen/Helen, b. 1841, Ontario Christene, b. 1843, Ontario William, b. 1845, Ontario Margaret, b. 1847, Ontario George, b. 1850, Ontario If anyone is interested in this McKay family, I have a lot of information to share as it is one of the main lines in my husband's family.
