James Hannah/Euphemia McIntyre/Jane Fraser/Smith

koksvik — 2009-11-03 16:03:39Z

My gg grandfather James Hannah was born on 07/01/1823 in Hutchesontown, Glasgow and died on 23/10/1892 in Larkhall, Lanark. His wife Euphemia was born in 1821 in Lismore, Oban Argyleshire and died on 11/01/1873 in Cambusnethan, Lanark. I am looking for their marriage record.

James Hannah's parents were James Hannah and Jane Fraser and I am looking for further information about them.

Euphemia's parents were Donald McIntyre and a Smith. I am looking for further information about them too.

Re: McEachern Genealogy

kalstras1 — 2009-10-25 12:00:19Z

Hi, firstly have you found anything further to your search?

We are descendants of the Matthews Family from Utah and Alexander Black McEchearn is my Great-Great-Great Grandfather on my mothers side. I have some history after his birth but not anything from his Scottish Ancestry as apparently he came to Canada and left Scotland severing all ties with his family. It's cloudy passed down stories, but it's all we could find.

Re: William McVean

loril68 — 2009-09-20 01:21:07Z

my great-grandfather came to Lacon, Il, USA. around 1850 something from canada, his father was a scottish immigrant who then moved his family to Illinois. at that time my great grand father was about 12. William McVean. Im not sure about the original spelling but the family changed their names to Bean as they thought it was easier for peaple to pronounce. My great grand father was then William Franklin Bean. I know he had a brother named Roy.

Re: Morvern clearances: McIntyres, Drimnin Estate, Auliston, Morvern, 1851

J2014 — 2009-10-08 21:59:39Z

Most of Auliston was evicted to Isle Oronsay in 1855, some of those were again evicted about 23 years later. My Great-grandmother was a McIntyre evicted as a child with her family from Auliston. Which McIntyre family are you researching?

Re: Margaret Gilchrist

c_measham — 2009-10-18 17:08:52Z

Hi Margaret:

Have you found your Gilchrist ancestors yet? I'm a descendant of Jennie Bahn, who married Archibald McNeill. Also, of course, a descendant of Margaret Gilchrist and John Smith, and so am also interested in those lines, but know nothing about them. I've been following the McNeill information, though. I've just come from NC where I took photos of the McNeill/McKay cemetery which was relocated a couple of years ago from it's place at the old homestead to a church graveyard.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Re: Tarbert Sinclairs

cariboonanny — 2009-10-13 20:48:01Z

I have a Duncan Sinclair b. abt. 1765. He died in 1857 and was buried in buriel grounds Tarbert. Think he actually lived in Ashens.

Duncan Sinclair married Catherine Baxter(b. Kilbride, N. Knapdale. According to the death certificate his father was Neil Sinclair and mother Mary Morrison.

Children of Duncan & Catherine
Neil-age 53 at the death of his mother Catherine in 1855
Betty-age 50 in 1855
Mary-deceased by 1855
Margaret-age 46 in 1855
Donald-deceased in 1853 age 43
Malcolm-deceased by 1855

It was a Neil Sinclair that was the undertaker on his mothers death certificate in 1855.

Anyone recognize any of this information??

Re: Arisaig 1745 to 1817

maggie1904_1 — 2009-10-17 12:05:39Z

According to 1851 Census Ann McDonald was born Arisaig 1801. Her son John was also born there about 1826. According to John's death certificate his father was Simon McDonald, writer (solicitor or legal clerk of some sort). Several suggestions have been given to me re Simon including leaving Scotland for the Colonies without his wife or child. Simon is not a particularly common name and I've been told only one sept of McDonald used this name and were 'legal' people. I can find one baptism for a Simon McDonald,born 1794 to Donald McDonald and Margaret Cameron in St Mary's, Glenstrath Farrar, Inverness. Does this connect with anyone

Jessie McDonald (or Macdonald) Fisher

kipaqra — 2009-10-23 10:57:51Z

I have added an extract from a memmoir of an aunt of mine, who is now dead. I am trying to trace ancestors of mine, particularly a child born in Oban, Argyll, named Jessie McDonald (or Macdonald) Fisher. The fiollowing extract is all I have to go on.

"Nain had been born Jessie MacDonald in Oban, North Scotland - she was half Welsh and half Scots, her father a minister in the kirk. When she was eight her father took a ministry in Canada and she used to tell Jessie stories of the boat trip over - how the sailing boat rocked and rolled about and everyone was sea sick except Jessie. The winters in Canada were of course very severe and after just a year Nain's father died of pneumonia, so she and her mother returned to Oban - where her mother also died soon after. Nain was sent to live with relatives in Central Wales - and, as she had lived her life in Scotland, she could not speak any welsh, but, as young children are so open and willing to learn, she soon picked it up. She must have seen Jessie in a similar position, because she was always willing to teach her welsh words and expressions. At the time of Lall's birth, Taid was game warden on the estate of Brynbras Castle, near Caerharfon."

Any help would be much appreciated.

Re: Rowan(d)s

lyndiadownie — 2009-09-26 23:56:49Z

I was tracing my father's family (last name Downie) they are from Kimelford and Kilniver near Oban and I came across a Catherine Rowan who married Archibald Campbell in the early 1800's or late 1700's. They had a daughter named Matilda Campbell who married a Downie. Catherine Rowan would have been my great great great grandmother. I found the birth record for Matilda Campbell on Scotlandspeople.org. She had at least one brother from what I could tell from the records. I tried to trace Catherine Rowan but could not find any information on her other than her marriage.

I still haven't discovered the parents of my Anne Morrison.She married in 1797,so is unlikely to have been born after about 1780.

Thank you very much for bearing her in mind while carrying out your own researches.

to Quebec while in the British/Scottish army. He stayed and
married my Canadian great grandmother in Montreal. Do you
