I am looking for ancestors of these three families from Ardnamurchan Inverness who migrated to South Australia in 1852 on the ship Medina.
John 54 & Margaret 47 (nee Macleod) MacEachen & their children Angus 20, Catherine 18, Mary 13, Johanna 11 & Elizabeth 9 years. John was a tailor who lived Moss of Keppoch Ardnamurchan.
Also John 58 & Margaret 50 (nee MacDonald) MacEachen & their children John 22, Christian (Christina) 16, Francis 15, Margaret 13, James 9 & Ann 6 years. Their father was a Sherrif's Officer who lived Back of Keppoch Ardnamurchan.
Andrew 50 & Ann 43 (MacEachen) Gillies were also on board with their children Ann 27, Angus 25, Mary 18, Donald 15, Christian (Christina) 13, Ewen 10 & John 7 years - my gr.grandfather. They also lived Back of Keppoch Ardnamurchan.
Thanks.
Janet.

Hi Joe.
Looks as if Angus was John & Ann MacEachen's father & Catherine their mother - according to the naming pattern of the children (& 1841 census).
If that's correct would Andrew Gillies father have been Angus as well? Did the naming pattern only follow on the father's side?
Regards,
Janet.

The only Back of Keppoch that I know (though there could be others) is a few miles North West of Arisaig.
Don't know if it is coincident but there is a Sarah McEachen buried at Arisaig. She was age 20 died Borrodale June 1848. Borrodale is a few miles South East of Arisaig.

Thanks Martin.
I have not heard of Sarah before but she could be a relation of John & Ann.
I'll look for her in the 1841 census.
Kind regards,
Janet.
