Dear Chatters,
I was wondering if any one could help me look up these names and check if I have the correct information and maybe if I could find any information on the parents John Roy and Isabella Mackay. I have never researched in Scotland before and am not sure where to start. This information was kindly provided by another lady who is also researching this name and I would like to offer some kind of help back to her.
Donald MacPherson born 1 June 1811 in Lower Cluny, Laggan, Inverness, Scotland. His parents are Iain Ruadh (John Roy) MacPherson (1756) and Isabella Mackay (1756).
Donald MacPherson married Jane Campbell on 18 June 1826, Kingussie and Insh, Scotland.
Jane Campbell was born 25 April 1815 in Dell of Killhuntly, Kingussie, Scotland. Her parents are Donald Campbell and Ann McGregor.
Donald MacPherson departed from London on 14 August 1836 on the 376 tons vessel “Douglas”, arriving in Port Jackson on 6 December 1836.
Thankyou so much for your help
Cheers

Hi: just a thought that Donald's mother may have been younger than his father as the date given suggests she was 55 when Donald was born. That may be relevant at some stage to looking for her birth in the OPR.

Dear Ghost Whisperer,
Thank you so much for the pictures and information on Donald Campbell and Ann Macgregor. That was a wonderful find.
Dear AngusM,
I agree with you about the dates of birth - 55 does seem a bit late for Donald's mum to have had him. I will try and look further into it. I will try and find out how to find birth records and death records in Scotland by looking at the beginners section of this site ( and the Scottish records section).
Thank you both for your time - it is ver much appreciated.
Cheers
Michelle
