Hi again

Just to summarise:

John M(a)cleod b.c. 1796, Farr, Sutherland. Parents - Donald McLeod and Mary McKay. Died 16 May 1869, aged 74.
Christina Sutherland, b.c. 1798, Latheron, Caithness. Parents - William Sutherland, farmer and Catherine Sinclair. Died - 8 July 1872, aged 74.

Married 5 May 1822, Latheron, Caithness

Children:

1824    Donald
1826    James
1827    Elizabeth
1828    Mary
1830    William Malcolm
1833    Sarah ->Esther
1837    Janet (Jessie)
1839    Farquhar
1843    Alexander
1846    Catherine

I remember you saying that the story was that they had 11 children. The above list has 10 - are there any more that you know of. Otherwise, the Christina who was listed with an Elizabeth in 1841 might well be the missing one.

Regards

My info refers to "a family of 11" so I am thinking that means 9 children.

Hope you slept well  Grin

Am currently searching out donald and Mary and have a possible marriage 7 april 1786 Reay Caithness. There is another possibility in oct 1799. IF John was born in or about 1796-7 then the later would  be ruled out... and if the former is correct, then there are presumably a bunch more siblings of John!  Janet gets no mention in the family info I have, so am trying to get hold of an Aunt who supplied this info to me to see if she has anything on Janet.

I cannot confirm John's birth in Farr, sutherland in or about 1795. Even if he is wrong about his birth place, nothing fits in Sutherland or Caithness for him...

As for Donald mcLeod and Mary MacKay, his parents they dont ever seem to have existed in the records.

Hi

It's one of those things. Records can be missing, deteriorated, destroyed not entered, etc. We all have these problems. It might be worth contacting some of the local groups listed on these pages:

Good Luck

  Shocked Hello my name is Julie and I'm from Australia

I have just started tracing my mother-in-laws NZ relatives and found this old chat which appears to be connected to her line. Her father was Percy McLeod and his Father: Donald McLeod & Mother: Elizabeth Bradey; Grandfather: Farquhar McLeod & Grandmother: Jane Ogilvie Sutherland; Great Grandfather: John McLeod & Great Grandmother Christina Sutherland.

Could Nilsina and Merlinnz please contact again?

Hello

I can recommend that you look on the website www.badbeafamilies.com under Sutherland Diaspora and you will find some helpful information. If you also send a request through the contact link on the Badbea site you will be offered the opportunity to join a group that has a great deal of information on the family line you are researching.

Thankyou Tracey & Christina for you quick replies.
I have been a genealogist for over 25 years but the chat sites are a new world for me! As you may have guessed this is my first posting on rootschat and its a bit confronting. I will take up both you suggestions. Cheers
