Isle of Mull: McDIARMID / McDERMID
« on: Wednesday 11 July 07 01:16 BST (UK) »
Good morning RootsChatters,  :)

Isle of Mull:  McDIARMID / McDERMID

I would be pleased to make contact with members/historians of the above family/ies prior to the 1850s.

Many members of the family/ies emigrated to Australia in 1838.
My wife is a descendant of these immigrants.

With thanks

I am looking to sort out my McDermid family and trace their roots. My great grandmother was Margaret McDermid b. 13 March, 1844 to Duncan McDermid and Catherine McNaughton in Glengarry Co., Ontario. I have Duncan''s birthday as 9 May, 1812 but no confirmation or proof of that. I have Catherine McNaughton's b day as 23 Mar., 1821 (parents John McNaughton and Mary Dingwall) and both born in Glengarry, Ontario.
I have Duncan's parents as Duncan McDermid b. 12 May 1757 and Jane McGregor b. abt. 1768, both in Perthshire, Scotland. Duncan's tombstone says Breadalbane, Perthshire.
I believe Duncan's (1757) father was Hugh McDermid but cannot seem to link with any particular line. 
I believe Duncan Jr. (1812) had brothers Finley and John as there is evidence to support this and most likely at least 4 other siblings. The problem is the alternate lines born close to the same time with the same names.
Any info would be appreciated.

To EDO
Sorry, missed adding in my message to you re the McDermid family. I have just found a contact who has information re Mary Stewart's family. I tried contacting you through your website but the message won't go through.

I have been given her siblings marriages and death details.
Regards
Annette

G'day Kathy

Many thanks for your posting re the McDERMIDs.
They certainly were short of names in those days.

My wife's ancestors were Donald McDERMID b c1793 and Mary STEWART b c1793 in Ardnamurchan ARL SCT

Would like to have a confirmed link but, cannot see one at this stage.

Regards

I'm in the early stages of my paternal line and it looks like I have an Isabella McDermid married to Hugh McColl in 1840 in Argyllshire. Possible father Archibald McDermid.

More checking is required before I can confirm this
