Hi! I'm researching my family and have come up against a wall with John Badeonch born about 1799. He married Isobel/Isabel Muir and their children were Ebenezer, Isobel, James, John, Alexander and Ann and they were all born around Buckie and surrounds. Some of their children came to South Australia and I have records of their deaths there around Carey Gully. I can't any other information about the parents though whether they came to Australia or not. Any help would be very much appreciated!! Suzanne
I don't know if it will help but the Aberdeen and North East Scotland Family History Society have an online Memorial Inscription Index which has entries for variants of your surname. Some are probably the previous generation to John, some are later and might allow you to trace back from the SPRs to find if any of the family remained in Scotland and had sons to carry on the name.
John Badenoch and Isobel Muir married in 1797, and childen were born to them 1797 - 1805 same names as yours except no sign of son James.
John Badenoch son of John and Isobel was born 15 FEB 1797 Cullen, Banff. This is an extracted entry from the OPRs.
I think wires have got crossed somewhere! Have we skipped a generation or something?
Could you post what you know about the children who died in SA and any further information such as spouses/ when they emigrated etc. That might help to clear this up.
Hi Kirsty I have been researching our tree now for only a short time but have a bit of information on the Badenoch generations and children if interested. My G-G Grandmother was Agnes Badenoch who married Patrick MacAnulty (various spellings but this is the spelling in the data of State Records of South Australia).
