Could I get a copy of what you have for the M'Donald (28) entry?

THanks.

Hi Krr23 and welcome to rootschat and the Scotland board.

The listing for the M'Donald's are the same as the others in as much as the number preceeding the name is the number given to that prisoner.

1804 Alexander M'Donald Transported
1805 Alexander M'Donald Transported 31-3-1747
1806 Alexander M'Donald Transported 31-3-1747
1807 Alexander M'Donald Transported 31-3-1747
1808 Alexander M'Donald Transported 31-3-1747

1932 Archibald  M'Donald  Transported 31-3-1747
(I think that this was a typo error and should have the prefix of 1832 in front of the name).

1833 Archibald  M'Donald  Transported 31-3-1747
1853 Donald     M'Donald  Transported 31-3-1747
1860 Duncan    M'Donald   Discharged
1862 Duncan    M'Donald   Transported 31-3-1747
1863 Duncan    M'Donald   Not Known
1864 Ewwn      M'Donald   Transported
1880 James      M'Donald   Transported 20-3-1747
1902 John         M'Donald   Transported 31-3-1747
1903 John         M'Donald   Died June 1746 at Tilbury Fort
1904 John         M'Donald   Transported 31-3-1747
1905 John         M'Donald   Transported 31-3-1747
1906 John         M'Donald   Transported 20-3-1747
1907 John         M'Donald   Transported 20-3-1747
1910 John         M'Donald   Transported 20-3-1747
1924 Owen       M'Donald   Transported 31-3-1747
1928 Ranald     M'Donald    Liberated       4-7-1747

1931 Ranald     M'Donald   
He was ordered to be transported but was still in Tilbury Fort Essex in April 1747 and was probably discharged.

1932 Ranald     M'Donald 
Released under general pardon 1747

1941 Sween     M'Donald    Transported 31-3-1747
1943 William     M'Donald    Transported 31-3-1747
1944 William     M'Donald    Transported 31-3-1747
1945 William     M'Donald    Transported 31-3-1747

Hope that they are of some use to you.

I have just come across your post re the jacobite prisoners 1747, I found an extract from a book (Scots banished to the American Colonies) on the Ancestry website which referred to a John Meiklejohn age 31, deserter, soldier Royal Scots Stirling, born 1716 taken prisoner at Inverness then to London, Tilbury Fort, transported to Barbados on the ship Frere 31 March 1747. I think this may be my great x 6 grandfather, and I am trying to find out if he survived the journey to Barbados and if so what became of him. I would be really grateful for any other information on him.

Just saw your post on the Jacobite prisoners.  I am interested in the Surname "Strachan".  Would love the details if you have the time.
Thanks!

Maz/MB,
Welcome to Rootschat and the Scotland Board. Unfortunately the small listing that I have only covers those prisoners that were taken from Inverness to Tilbury on 10th June 1746 and as far as I am aware only covers rougly 300 of the total prisoners that were transported, sadly John Meiklejohn is not on this list.

Hi Peggy and welcome to Rootschat and the Scotland Board.

The only Strachan that is on the list is as follows,
(Prisoner number) 3201. John Strachan died at Tilbury Fort Essex.
Not much to go on I'm afraid but at least you know what happened to him.
