COMPLETED * McPHEE family in Kilmallie

[fred2derf]

Hello Sally,

I think Ann is Catherine's mother. Yes there is a Peggy and a 2nd Anne. The first Anne born 1822 must have died young. There seems to be some conflict with the dates for Peggy and Anne in the IGI entries.

I wish we knew who John b. 1817 married.

If that Effy married James McDonald then it's curious her death certificate gives her parents as "Donald McPhee, farmer, deceased and Jessie McPhee M.S. Cameron". If a different Effy married James then Effy daughter of Alexander & Catherine married who?

The other researchers have concentrated on Catherine and Effy. They have nothing apart from that 1841 census on Angus or the other children of Alexander and Catherine  --> her mother is said to be a Flora Cameron.

John McPhee who married Janet Stewart named their youngest daughter Flora. However his death certificate lists his parents as "Alexander McPhee, crofter, deceased and Mary McPhee M.S. Cameron, deceased".

Regards,

Fred

Fred,
Don't know if this helps but Angus and Christy arrived in Arrived Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia per 'S.S. Caroline' on 17.11.1853.

McPHEE Angus 30 Caroline 17 Nov 1853 IMM/112 24 M1696
McPHEE Christy 21 Caroline 17 Nov 1853 IMM/112 24 M1696
McPHEE Una 1 Caroline 17 Nov 1853 IMM/112 24 M1696

Also on board were this family:

McPHEE John 39 Caroline 17 Nov 1853 IMM/112 24 M1696
McPHEE Ann 35 Caroline 17 Nov 1853 IMM/112 24 M1696
McPHEE Catherine 1 Caroline 17 Nov 1853 IMM/112 24 M1696
McPHEE Isabel 6 Caroline 17 Nov 1853 IMM/112 24 M1696
McPHEE Isabella 15 Caroline 17 Nov 1853 IMM/112 24 M1696
McPHEE Jessie 12 Caroline 17 Nov 1853 IMM/112 24 M1696
McPHEE Malcolm 14 Caroline 17 Nov 1853 IMM/112 24 M1696

There is a marriage in 1835 of a John McPhee of Kilmaillie and Ann Cameron of Kilmaillie?  The children of the above John and Ann are all baptised at Corpach, Kilmaillie, Arygll, Scotland.

This can't be the John you seek as in 1841 John McPhee  is still listed with his parents at Muirshealich but it could be a cousin or near relative.

Regards,
Sally

Hello Sally & Monica,

Thanks for continuing to build up the whole picture. That John who went to Australia although in the right place, Kilmallie was born a bit earlier, around 1814. How many months will it take to do all the McPHEEs and CAMERONs in Kilmallie?   

If only we could answer these two:

Who did John (parents Alexander & Catherine) b. 1817 marry?

Can we find an Effy McPHEE born around 1831 to parents Donald, farmer, and a Jessie CAMERON?

I have a bit more information re Catherine McPHEE born 23 Nov 1853 Kintallen farm Duror parish, Argyll. The details were on an Argyll film in a FHC in USA and found by another researcher.

Regards,

Fred

Hello Cathy,

Sorry, but I can't help. While it seems a John PcPHEE did leave Scotland none of the McPHEE line I've been researching did as far as I know.

Thanks for your Reply
Cant seem to Locate this Christina MCPHEES parents etc but what is interesting several of the descendants of this MCLEAN/MCPHEE line have SINCLAIR as a Middle Name which i think maybe is a family name attached to either MCPHEE or MCLEAN
Interesting u have MCDONALDS too as a Friend here has a JAMES MCDONALD born 1831 in Fort William Inverness Came to South Australia Around 1841, Died in 1913 aged 82 yrs , was here in Commonwealth 72 Yrs but we cant find him or his family anywhere on shipping lists here
Any take on that one??
And just curious is Fort William Inverness on Border of Fort William argyll??

Hello Cathy,

Fort William is now in Inverness but some old records are listed as 'North Argyll'.

I don't have any SINCLAIR in my tree. McPHEE (and variations on that name) is a very common name so any connections may be in previous generations.

Re James McDONALD I have sent you a PM.

Fred
