To : Merry B.
I have a sheet here from the "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and it says Christina Blue was christened on the 23 Mar 1795 Lochkiarran, Kilcalmonell, Argyll, Scotland and her parent's were Donald Blue and Margaret Brown. I have a second sheet from them giving the marriage of Donald Cameron - spouse Christy Blue - marriage 22 Dec 1818 Campbeltown, Argyl, Scotland. On one of their daughter's death registrations (Barbara) it gives her father's name as Donald Cameron and a question mark with Blue beside her mother's maiden name. I would love to know more about the family. I think the family came with money from Scotland as when they arrived they sent back to Scotland to have stone masons come out and build their house (which still stands). Donald put quite a bit of money into bulding one of the churches in Bowmanville and was on the harbor commossion as well. Any information would be great. Joyce Brownell

Hi LA Blue,
It's ages since I've been on Rootschat, and have only just seen your post.
Although I can't help with your names, my Blues were born and married in Kilberry and Kilcalmonell. Dugald Blue married Mary Bell in 1821 and his children were Margaret, born 1823, Archibald 1825, John 1827, Colin 1829 and Christian (female) 1831. Anything familiar there?
Dugald's father was Donald, no details known.

I think maybe my Christina Blue is the sister of your Duglad Blue. Christina and her husband Donald Cameron immigrated to Ontario, Canada, in abt. 1833/34. I wish I could find out more about Donald Cameron and his family as well. I know some of the families which settled in the area came from Campbelton - such names as McMillan, Galbraith, Grey and Beith. On my Great grandmother's death registration it mentions she was born in Argyllshire, Scotland. Joyce Brownell

Hi everyone,
I have been browsing in your 'Blues' as I am interested in an ancestor, Ann Galloway who had an illegitimate son on 8 June 1865 and called him James Blue Galloway. The name Blue must have some connection to her family, but I cannot find anything of her parents. She was a farm servant in Cadder, Lanark. and I am trying to determine who the father of James was. She married in 1869 and the baby took on her husband's name of McCall, but there is no certainty that he was the father. Does anyone have an Ann Galloway in their family with Blue connections?
Thanks
Lorraine

Nothing yet. I must devote some more time to this. There are so many people called the same name and you can't be sure you have the right one. There seems to have been a few Christina/ Christy about Kilcalmonell. Just when I think I'm getting somewhere with my Whitehouse family, I hit another brick wall e.g. the death certificate won't state the parents' names

You are right about some death certificates not stating the parent's names. One of Donald and Christina's children did state - Donald Cameron as father and a ? Blue. Today I have found the birthdates of their children born in Campbeltown, Argyle, Scotland. Mary (my great grandmother) born 18 Feb 1820, Agness born 27 Jan 1830, Malcolm b. 19 Feb 1824, Barbra b. 20 Mar 1826, Margaret b. 22 Mar 1822. Also found a son John b. 08 Mar 1828 (must of died young in Scotland? Christina b. 1832, Elizabeth b. 1827 and Jane born in Canada in 1838. It is just like putting a great big puzzle together. I think I will try to go the registry office and re read Donald Cameron's will - I read it years ago and it gives the names of his living children. Joyce Brownell
