Cille Choirill Brae Lochaber: Archibald Mcdonald & Ann Gillies

[julescorn]

Hello all,

I too am a descendant of the Cranachan McDonalds.  There are some confusions though!  I would like some information on Ian Gorm McDonald son of Donald McDonald b. 1740 and Mary McDonald b. abt 1745.  Can anyone help me?

Cheers

Julie

Hi Julie

Welcome to RootsChat 

Unachan is your man for this info! However, I believe he is travelling at the moment but I am sure he will be in touch as soon as he can. I have had a computer crash on my old laptop and have lost in the process a number of notes/emails I had from Unachan which I could have sent you in the meantime

I've just had a look at the chart Unachan sent me, it looks like Ian is an uncle of Flora, mother of St Mary of the Cross.

Thank you MonicaLesl and Henrietta7.  Yes I understood him to be an Uncle of Flora McDonald.  Is there some way that I could have a copy of that Chart Henrietta7?  I am interested in the names of his children and grandchildren. 

Cheers Julie

Julie, if  you click on the small green scroll under Henrietta's name on the l/h side, this will take you through to the Personal Message service (PMs). This is the best way to exchange personal emails here on RootsChat

Hi Julescorn, the only reference I have to Ian Gorm, brother to Donald drochaid, is on the chart of father Andrew MacDonell and it does not show any family.

There is reference to family of Ian Gorm in a family tree produced by Don Hargreaves, but I have no idea where this information came from? so thus also no idea on its authenticity!!!

Father Andrew's chart was produced about 100 years ago to correct/update the "clan Donald" volumes. Information was from local people in Lochaber and of course still did not mean a definitive record on the Cranachans.

sorry not to be able to help you further, what information do you have at present and from where?

Hi Unachan,  I have the same information as you that is why I am trying to verify it.  On you chart does it have John born 1801 son of Donald and Mary? Thank you for your help.

Hi All,
! have been following the thread regarding Archibald McDonald b 1785, brother of Angus Mor Drochoid McDonald. The parents being Donald McDonald and Mary. According to my family tree my ggmother was Christina Allison Cameron, and her gggfather was Archibald McDonald.
I was hoping someone ( maybe unachan?) could please help with some more details.
Many people on the tree appear in the Monaro Pioneers Project - found online in a number of places.

Kind Regards
Tony
