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
