Hi Kathy
The pre-1855 gravestones for Annat are listed in the booklet "Pre-1855 gravestone inscriptions in Wester Ross" edited by Alastair G Beattie and Margaret H Beattie. I've got a version published by the Scottish Genealogy Society in 1987.
There are 11 gravestones listed and the Ordnance Survey grid reference number for the location of the burial ground is NG 898547.
If it's a pre-1855 inscription that you're looking for, just let me know and I can check if it's in this book for you.
Hope this helps!
Lynn

Hi Kathy
I've checked the Annat entries for you - there are four stones that mention MacLeans, but not a John MacLean and Catherine Fraser.
The stones are as follows:
"Roderick McBeath died Fassag 1842 aged 47, wife Ann McLean died 1877 aged 84, daughter Ann died Feb 1914 aged 80 years
Flora Macdonald, husband Donald Maclean, died Callakille 12 June 1890 aged 84 years, daughter Annabella died Shieldaig 1852 aged 14 years, Norman Macdonald, merchant, died Ardmore 2 May 1878 aged 72 years.
Erected by Roderick and Grace Maclean, father Kenneth Maclean, innkeeper died April 1845 aged 56 years.
John Murdoch, born New Cumnock 1774, tenant Corry, Torridon for 13 years, died 1845, wife Barbara Mitchell born 1778 died 1852, son William born 1815 died 1896 (wife Mary Maclean born 1824, died 1874)."
The book does also have Kishorn, Lochcarron, Locharron Old and Applecross (as well as quite a few other burial grounds, but these are a bit further away from Annat). Just let me know if there are any others you would like me to look up for you.
By the way, my Gairloch MacKenzies are from the Aultbea/Laide/Mellon Udrigle area of the parish, just about 5 miles north of Poolewe - any connection do you think?
Look forward to hearing from you
Lynn

Lynn,
Thanks for those. I don't have any of them as relatives now, but who knows as the search goes on! 
For Lochcarron, would you mind checking for Donald MacKenzie, died 1853, husband of Janet? Thanks!
As for the Poolewe bunch, it's entirely possible there's a connection with that short distance, though there sure seem to be a LOT of MacKenzies in the area. I don't have any yet who've shown up with Aultbea/Laide/Mellon Udrigle addresses, but I haven't worked too far back in that line yet either. Does my Donald sound at all familiar to you? The only child of his that I'm aware of so far is my gg grandfather Kenneth MacKenzie, born 1831.
All the best,
Kathy

Hi Kathy
Just started looking through Lochcarron and I think I've found him!
"Erected by MacKenzie brothers, father Donald MacKenzie, tenant Slumbay, died 24 June 1853 aged 62 years, mother Janet Mackenzie died 17 August 1869 aged 70 years, Jessie MacKenzie (widow of Murdo Macrae, late of Shieldaig) died 21 April 1907".
I've checked my tree and although I've got Donald Mackenzies, Kenneth MacKenzies and various McGregors from the Gairloch area in my tree, I don't have the people you mention - as you say, there are a lot of MacKenzies in the parish of Gairloch! However, I dare say that we're connected somewhere along the line.
Best wishes
Lynn

Lynn, I'm looking up my Macgregor ancestors from Gairloch. You mentioned you had this surname in your tree? Do you have a Roderick or Rory Macgregor who had a son William, born in Gairloch? Roderick or Rory married a Mackenzie (believed to be the widow of a Mackenzie). Roderick may have died in the area of Mellon Udrigle. Thanks.

Thanks, Francisco. Timelines seem to match, but the Roderick or Rory Macgregor I'm looking for had a son named William. Any chance Isabella had a brother?

May I add my tuppence worth to this?..regarding Macgregor/Morrison & Macgregor/Mackenzie and Macgregor/Macdonald marriages:
Alexander Macgregor (shepherd and cattle herder according to his 2 son's death certs - seemingly in Achtercairn/Strath according to his widow's residence in 1841/51) married Christian (with lots of variants) Morrison born c1784...4 known children:
Child 1: Roderick born c1806 married Mary Mackenzie and had children John, Mary, Catherine, Ann, Robert, Alexander, Catherine, Margaret, Isabella, Duncan between 1838 & 1862. Roderick was a hill drainer and lived in Kinlochewe (1851, 61, 71) before dying of insanity in 1876.
Child 2: Barbara born c1811. Only found on 1851 census.
Child 3: Murdoch (also Murdo) born c1812 married Isabella Macdonald of Petty near Inverness in Dec 1830. All their children were born over in the east and Murdoch & Isabella both died in Nairn in 1872 & 1887 respectively. I am descended from this line.
Child 4: Annabella born c1813. Only found on 1841 census...and presumed to be a daughter. May be wrong.
Might there be a connection that someone is aware of?
Thanks for reading!
William
