I've just found something interesting about my great grandmother. She had an illegitimate child by William McBean of Alvie. The childs name was Georgina. My great grandmother was Jane Clark but she didn't marry William McBean, she married Charles Douglas in Perthshire. Georgina was brought up by her father and she married James McLean in Alvie.
She obviously knew her mother was now Jane Douglas (nee MsClark). Isabella (Bell) who was Janes sister was on the 1871 census as general servant in William McBean's household. She died there of gastroenteritis.
There parents were John Clark and Elizabeth Gordon (with MacPhersons and Camerons thrown in too). They were crofters in Strone, Kingussie. Georgina was born in Strone in 1861 and died in Cromdale in 1952 aged 91
I've had a busy afternoon finding skeletons in the cupboard. Hope this helps someones family tree because it's certainly opened my eyes today.

Hi Jean,
I have been searching for information on the McBean's of Alvie Parish from the village of Tallisol Of Raitts which is 2 k's from Kingussie for more than 20 years and I am at a standstill with the birth in 1791 of Donald McBean and Jean McGregor his wife of 1794. They had six children but I don't think they are connected to William. I will do a little research and see if they fit into out tree and will keep you posted.
I have other McBeans and memebers of the family who bare also trying to get over the hurdle of Donald and Jean.
All the best,
Terry in Sydney

Hello Terry
The William McBean I refer to is the son of William McBean and Isabella Davidson.
The children were:-
John born 16.06.1809 and baptized 18.06.1809
Lachlan born 20.10.1810 and baptized 29.10.1810
Margaret born 5.06.1815 and baptized 23.06.1815
Alexander born 25.05.1817 and baptized 05.06.1817
Isabell born 29.10.1819 and baptized 9.11.1819
William, born 25.09.1821 and baptized 19.19.1821. Died 03.05.1889
Samuel born 25.04.1823 and baptized 04.05.1823
There is reference to Lachlan McBean on the internet. I believe he went to Australia.
Hope this helps.
Jean

Hello Fidonald
As in my post to Ellenavon above, I am back to my McBains, I have been looking at your post, I have acquired a lot of info on Alvie McBain/Bean`s in my attempt to sort out my family, and my have some info for you [I appologise if you have it already]
George McBean=Ann McDonald m 29 Mar 1778 Alvie. I have dates for 6 children, Ann, Margaret, Angus, Christian, Janet, and John. Could not find George or Donald Did find a death cert for George, he was the Shoemaker born abt 1810, married to Ann McNeil 1852 Died Alvie 9 Mar 1879. Christian also died 1884, no mention of a husband. John Married Cursty Robertson 1844, all census show him in Inverness, a Corn and Spirit dealer, 1851 census no wife, 3 children George, Angus and Duncan, 1861 census married to Jessie and now has 3 more children Jessie, Alexander and Eliza. Do you know who the parents of George were?

Hi there
Thanks for all the info! I got it a bit wrong with the profession of George McB - he was a crofter, not a shoemaker. Some of his sons were shoemakers though. As the records pre 1855 are at best sketchy, I've been unable to get further back than the marriage 0f George and Ann McD and I cannot find a death cert for Cursty.
One of those days I will get over to Alvie and maybe find out more.
Any additional data you have would be gratefully received. My e-mail is (*). I've got heaps on John McB and the sons Duncan and Angus as well as on the children from the second marriage but precious little on John's siblings or parents.
Thanks and kind regards
Fidonald

Hi Fidonald
The george i found is brother to John, according to his death cert his parents were george McBean and Ann McDonald, Cursty must have died between the birth of Angus abt 1848 and the 1851 census, but I cannot find any record either, perhaps in the MI`s for Inverness
I will send more soon

Hi,
I'm also descended from McBains of Alvie - my gggg grandparents were Donald McBain and Elspet McIntyre. One of their sons was Lachlan McBain, shoemaker (see MIs in Alvie Churchyard) born around 1780 (died 1857) and married to Margaret McIntosh (died 1869 in Meadowside, Alvie). They lived in Coillintuie. His son, Farquhar McBain lived in Kincraig House (don't think he owned it) and built what is now Suie Hotel in Kincraig - he would be a distant uncle. There is a picture of him on the staircase in the hotel. Another son of Lachlan, was Donald, born 1823, my gg grandfather, who is not on gravestone. He was a shepherd and moved downriver to Rothes where my grandfather, Charles Rhind, was born (son of Jessie McBain and Charles Rhind)

Sorry - Lachlan McBain was a tailor, not a shoemaker - ignore that bit in my last post!

Hi Spacot
Thanks for the info about John MacBean & Jessie McKillop. I don't know if you have ever looked on ambaile.org but his death noticed was published in the Inverness Courier and it is on Ambaile along with loads of other interesting stuff.
I don't suppose you found any graves for my lot when you were in Alvie?
Thanks again and kind regards
Fidonald
