Hi Climbert

Given the period you are looking at, it will be hard for people to help with searches because you are outside of the time frame where people can do on-line searches (census and BMDs). Hopefully someone may recognise the names from their own personal history.

Good luck  Smiley

Regards.

Rather a long time since the last message but I suspect we are related though my spelling is MacCormick.  My father was born on Iona in 1921 and one of our family is doing a project for a MacCormick web site.  To date he was a database of approaching 200 names one of which is a Marion MacCormick, though I have no further details than that.

If you pick this up perhaps we can exchange details at some point so that we can track down who is who.

Hi,

I've been trying to use the Mull Genealogy site but there is a lot missing and I don't find it especially easy to follow.  What I can say is that I believe my great grandfather was William MacCormick (my name) born1 Aug 1868, Isle of Iona and died  20 (I have 29) Oct 1915 in an accident on board HMS Hannibal.  He was a Chief Engine Room Artificer 1st Class in the Royal Navy and the family had moved to the Medway where my grandfather Ewen MacDonald MacCormick went to school at Rochester.  He trained to be a teacher and having been seriously wounded in the Great War and, rather shockingly (for then), got my grandmother pregnant before they were married they returned discreetly to Iona where my grandfather was the school teacher and my father was born there in September 1921 (in the house that is now the visitor centre as I recall).  They then moved back south to London where my grandfather carried on as a teacher and were my father's two brothers and two sisters were born. 

So, my gg gparents were: Niel Lamont MACCORMICK and Annabella Campbell MACLACHLAN and my g gfather married Mary MACDONALD on 31 Dec 1889 which is where, I presume, the MacDonald comes from that we all keep amongst our names.

From what I can see, my gg gfather Niel Lamont MACCORMICK had a brother Donald born 30 Jun 1864 but he, coincidentally, married a Marion MacDonald in 1897.  Wrong Marion!  I can see your Donald McCormick , Ann MacCalum and Marion McCormick but how you try to cross check that strand of the family against the rest I really don't know.  Unfortunately, the family member trying to put together the family tree for a web site has had a recurrence of their cancer and, sensibly enough, is concentrating on his treatment.  As and when he becomes available again I will see if he can shed any further light on this.
