Hi Ellen, sorry its taken so long but I have been unable to get onto rootschat for a while dont know what the problem was but it seems to be fixed now.
SUTHERLAND
Baptisms
08/01/1791 John Sutherland tennent in Achumore and Barbara MacKenzie, Marion
09/09/1793 John Sutherland alias Macrory (son of Rory) tennent in Achumore and Barbara MacKenzie, Roderick
15/11/1795 John Sutherland farmer in Achumore and Barbara MacKenzie, William
21/01/1798 John Sutherland farmer in Achumore and Barbara MacKenzie, William
19/07/1800 John Sutherland farmer in Achumore and Barbara MacKay, Janet (dont know why she calls herself mackay at this time?)
13/06/1802 John Sutherland farmer in Achumore and Barbara MacKenzie, Donald MacKay
There is only one Rachel born in 1785, she is the daughter of John Sutherland and Henrietta MacLeod. The John and Flora Forbes are also children of these parents. Funnily though these are members of my family.
Did note that there was a Rory Sutherland in Durness previously having at least two children, George bp on 12/04/1769 and Donald bp 16/07/1772.

Hi Ellen
Just some other details for you, entry for the 14 July 1789 John Sutherland from Thurso, weaver in Balamhulich and Henrietta MacLeod nin Nishmacean, Janet and Isobel
The thing to note in this entry is Henrietta's patronymic which I have been told means daughter of Kenneth son of John. This may not be 100% though!
Rachel Sutherland sister of Flora is my ancestor, she married a William Campbell in Durness on 28 Dec 1804. They had nine children, Katherine, Robert, John, Angusina, Henny, Anderson, Roderick, Johan and James.
Katherine Campbell had an son with John Falconer in 1836, Charles Falconer Campbell.
Charles Falconer Campbell married and Emma McDonald a nurse from Plymouth in 1877, Charles was at sea in the Merchant Navy for most of his life, he seems to have left Durness around 14 years old. Charles and Emma only had one child, William John Campbell born in 1879.
William John Campbell was my Great Grandfather.
If you would like any more details don't hesitate to contact me.
Andy
One other thing, Jean Morison's alias Doun is also an alias used by the Poet/Bard Rob Donn who lived in the same area in the 1700's. There is a book about his life called 'The World of Rob Donn' written by Ian Grimble and published I thinkl in about 1977 that you may be interested in?

Thanks so much Andy
I am tracing my family history and have a problem right in the middle.
Looking for children of John MacKay Oig (Smith) born c1747
Married once to Barbara?
Married again to Ann Calder in 1792
Ann left for Canada right after John died (about 1811) and took 6 children with her. I can only confirm one - Sophia MacKay and possibly William.
I am looking specifically for a child named Donald MacKay who would have been born after 1792 but before 1811 when I think John MacKay died.
I am told Ann was his mother but can find no record of his birth.
Thanks!!!

I am currently looking for my husband's GGG grandfather, John MacCulloch, who was born about 1789, married Jean M. Brander in 1808 in Kingussie, and died there in either 1840 or 1850 (I have differing opinions from 2 sources). I think he could possibly be the son of Thomas MacCulloch & Margaret MacKay as many of names of brothers carry through to later generations. My info says that Thomas was born about 1755 (or 1759) and married Margaret MacKay 12/1778. There is also reference to his having 2 illegitimate children, George and Janet with another Margaret MacKay? This family evidently settled in Tarbat by Fearn eventually, and would account for our John having come from "north of Ft. George". I have also seen references to a John MacCulloch of Durness, married to Catherine MacKay. They also had a son, John, but the timing seems off.
Any help you can give me will be appreciated.

Thanks Andy,
This confirms what I was seeing. Appreciate the translation of "nin ..." I guessed it was to do with mom's pedigree. What do you think "Dolicye" means when referring to the other Margaret MacKay? Also, I saw much later baptisms for a Donald (8/31/1831), Christian (12/6/1827), Mary (2/5/1826), Margaret (6/10/1834), and William (5/14/1838) in Tarbat by Fearn. The parents are listed as Thomas MacCulloch & Margaret MacKay. What do you think this could mean - a second baptism perhaps?
Also, do you know where Cennabin or Cnocbreac or Balamhulich are located? I did see Island Choarie.
Very excited to return to Scotland and explore this area. Saw a lot of the highlands, but not that far north.
Lynn

Andy thanks for the reply. Unfortunately the dates don't match. Would you have any information on Donald McKay (or MacKay) born about 1799 who apparently emigrated from the Isle of Muck to East Lake Ainslie, Cape Breton (now part of Nova Scotia) about 1824. He married Jessie MacDonald of the Isle of Mull, daughter of Alexander MacDonald and Mary McLean who also emigrated to Capr Breton. Any help is most appreciated. Thanks, Gord
