In view of the early period, it is possible- or maybe probable! that your msg will be read by a co- researcher relative. BUT as you gave vague locality identification, no spouse surname/s and no given names or connections you've possibly missed the chance of getting to your reader-relatives. Suggest you add some identifications so as to shrink the haystack, needle-wise! ;~) Cheers ALISTAIR Looking for John Cameron/ wife Christina MacDonald who married 1799 in Contin, ROC. No trace of them after 1811. John was apparently deported as a convict [where to?] after arrested for shooting at Excise Men nr ARDNAGRASK, parish Urray, ROC.
