Hi All and Seasons Greetings 
This is my first venture onto the Scottish board. I'm staying with my sister so have started work on my BiL's tree.
I have traced his GG grandparents to Donald Fraser b 1825 Glen Urquhart and Catherine Stewart b c1825 Kilmonivaig who were married in Kilmonivaig 1 Aug 1852 (IGI). They then emigrated to Australia. I have found Donald's christening in the IGI (b Urquhart 2/12/1824, par: James Fraser & Ann McCrae).
Looking for Catherine's parents & siblings
Thanks, Jane

Hi Jane
Have you got the names, in birth order, of Donald and Catherine's children. This might help to pinpoint possible parents fron Catherine. On the 1841 census there are two possible Catherines - in the broad age range - in Kilmonivaig:
aged 13 (b.c. 1828, Invernessshire) , with probable parents Angus (b. c. 1786) and Anne (b.c. 1796) and Sarah (b.c. 1826), Anne (b.c. 1831) and Archibald (b.c. 1835)
aged 15-19 (b - 1821-26, Scotland), with probable parents Donald (b.c. 1786, Inv) and Janet (b.c. 1791, Inv) and Janet (b.c. 1829), ?Janet (b.c. 1836) and Mary (b.c. 1839)

Hi Gadget
The only children I know of at this stage are Donald, but as the father is also Donald that doesn't really help, and Alexander. The most likely of the possible death registration's for Catherine gives her father's name as Donald though, so the second census entry is looking good.
Catherine's birth date of c1825 was from Alexander's birth registration. Her age was given as about 31 yo in 1856.
Do you have access to 1851 too?
Thanks, Jane

Hi Jane
There is only one unmarried on the 1851 born Kilmonivaig, a servant so no help with parents' names:
Letterfinlay: 99 ED 16 Page 1
In the household of Alexande McMillan -
Catherine Stewart, 25, shepherd's servant
She is indexed twice - once as here and once as a general servant. Same person though.
This looks very like the second person on the 1841, doesn't it. Parents are then probably Donald and Janet.
The IGI Batch C110992 has a Donald Stewart and a Janet Stewart having children Jane 1830 and Mary 1825.. Catherine isn't listed though.
Hope this helps.
Regards

Hmm, Catherine's parents could just as easily be Donald & Catherine as Donald & Janet  Have to think a bit more about this.
Thanks Gadget

I think Donald and Janetlook more likely as parents. I've had a look at the entry and they are living Alld a chaoruinn (alld is usually spelt allt nowadays), Kilmonivaig. Catherine wasn't born there though - maybe her mother was away or something. It might be worth doing a search in the IGI for a Catherine, b.c. 1825 with parents Donald and Janet, outwith the area.
