Hi Cam,

I don't think your Samuel is related. Have you tried checking rental rolls for the township he lived in, that may help. Sometimes they note if someone has died and the tenancy is passed to someone else.

Inverness / Re: Trying to find pamphlet : MacArthurs of Brae Lochaber

Many thanks for the info.

The Angus I'm interested in is the one that died in 1870. There is no official record as such that I've been able to find for the Alexander I'm looking for and I think he was dead well before 1841. I got his details from his daughter Isabella's death certificate. In an application for poor relief she refers to her parents being dead and Angus as her uncle. I'm trying to work out if Angus and Alexander are brothers or were their wives sisters (both were MacDonald). Isabella also refers to a MacDonald aunt, so it is very confusing to say the least!

Salliz,

thanks for replying. I found the pamphlet in the FW library. It was very interesting.

Do you or your relation have any further info. on the McArthurs in the area? I'm trying to work out if Angus McArthur born c1795 - 1870 & married to a Catherine MacDonald, and Alexander McArthur born c1780s and married to Isabella are brothers.

Hi Delwynhyslop,

Liandally is to the south of Spean Bridge on the east side of the River Lochy down from Kilmonivaig farm. I know I've got a map somewhere showing the tack of Liandally & Kilmonivaig but cant find it at the moment. I tried googlemaps to help describe it for you, but it doesn't come up. Try googling Brackletter (neighbouring crofting township) then Kilmonivaig - and googlemaps flag a B&B (ignore Kilmonivaig church which is not at Kilmonivaig township). Liandally is a little bit to the south of that B&B.
Who was your ancestor?

Re Catherine Stewart born c1826, daughter of Donald Stewart. She had a daughter in 1846, Una Cameron. Una is brought up by her Cameron grandparents initially then by her father who married someone else. There's a couple of entries regarding Catherine in the Kilmonivaig Kirk Session notes of 1846. Catherine was working at Tulloch farm in 1845.

Malky,

thank you very much for such a speedy reply! I visit the Highlands regularly so that is absolutely brilliant.

Does anyone know where I can find or access a copy of a pamphlet by Stuart MacDonald called 'The MacArthurs of the Braes of Lochaber'? I think it was written in the 1990s. The author is now dead and I can't find it online tho' I've found it referenced.

I'd also be interested in any views on the accuracy of the information in it.

Many thanks for checking Doran. Unfortunately that's not him. He didnt have a daughter Janet. I think the Alex that you list, is living at Clunes Farm in 1851 when 'my Alex' was living at Liandally.

Inverness / Alexander Cameron: Kilmonivaig

I'm searching for the death certificate of Alexander Cameron born c1785-1790 in the parish of Kilmonivaig. Alexander married Catherine (Kate) MacPhee in 1814 when he was living in Camisky. Some of their early children are born in Glen Pean.

I've found them in the censuses for 1841-1861 living at Liandally, Kilmonivaig. Kate dies in 1866 and she is recorded as the wife of Alexander, which implies he is still alive. There is no trace of him after this date. I've searched Scotlandspeople without success. Others have searched too but no-one can find his death details. I've searched the gravestones in old Kilmallie cemetry where some of their children are buried but again no luck.

As some of their children lived near Liandally the chances are that Alex continued to live in Liandally or in the same area.

Any ideas on where to try next?
