Hello All
I'm trying to find more information on Neil McPhee/MacPhie. He married Marion MacDonald on 18 Mar 1823 Duirinish (their marriage record gives no further useful info).
Neil MacPhie d 15 May 1872 Harlosh, Duirinish age 96, informant John MacPhie, son. Father Norman MacPhie, Crofter, dec, mothers name unknown. Death record also states he was a Chelsea Pensioner.
In 1841 he is age 50 bc1791 Inverness, Pensioner (spelled McPhee)
In 1851 he is age 65 bc1786 Duirinish Tensioner (assuming pensioner) of the 42nd Highs
In 1861 he is age 72 bc1789 Duirinish, Chelsea Pensioner.
I have searched Scotlands People and everywhere else I can think of but can't find a birth for Neil which matches.
Also I found on The National Archives:
Royal Hospital, Chelsea: Discharge Documents of Pensioners
Neil McPhie born Kilmore, Invernesshire
Served in 42nd Foot Regiment; 71st Foot Regiment.
Discharged age 50 after 27 years fo service.
Covering dates 1802
From the above info I am assuming Neil McPhee/MacPhie was in the 42nd Highlanders (known as The Blackwatch) as were descendants of his.
I am hoping someone can help me find the birth of Neil.
Kind Regards
Rachel McPhee
