Rose of Clava

[Gadget]

Well, they're not going anywhere and it looks as if Alexander's parents might well be Hugh Rose of Clava and Jean Innes.

It would be worth doing some more searches in the NAs online catalogue:

The 1st February 1881 edition of the Bannfshire Journal mentions in an item relating to 1669, Alexander Rose, 2nd son of Hugh Rose of Clava, late provost.

Also, the 9th January 1904 edition of the Inveress Courier has:

. Anne Rose of Clava, who married Hugh Rose of Coulmony, resided Culdoicb, on the other side of the river. In May 1746 she wrote my ancestor. Alexander Rose of Culbase, who married Elizabeth Rose of Coulmony,

Is there anything on Hugh Rose and Jean Innes, SM. As that is what it says in the NAS records that I found so long ago?

It seems like it but I haven't nailed anything conclusive yet. It doesn't help the the Scottish Archives Web site seems to be frozen!

Oh dear -I hope storm Ali hasn't arrived in Edinburgh yet as they're threatening us with it too.

The online catalogue does play up sometimes.

It might be worth doing a google book/journal search or even trying Scotlands People just in case.

On the 9th of December 1702, Sir John Mackenzie of Coul! " grants to have counted with and discharged the Laird of Kilraoke" for that sum due " to the deceased Sir Alexander Mackenzie, my father."

The affairs of the family of Hay of Park and Lochlay had now come to a crisis, and the broad lands, their inheritance for many centuries, were to be sold. The following' contract partly explains the footing upon which they were purchased by the Laird of Kilravock. Duncan Forbes, who wrote it, was his uncle-in-law, having married Mary. another of the daughters of the godly house of Innes.
