Which Alexander Cameron was born in the "shaddow of Ben Nevis"

[RedMystic]

Just to muddle this more, I've finally found Alexander Cameron in the 1901 census shortly before he died. (You have no idea how badly a simple name like Cameron can be mis-transcribed  )

On the upside, the 1901 census in Canada provides a full birth date for Alexander. On the downside, it doesn't match any of the Inverness births in the SP search. Heavy sigh. 

Back to the drawing board.

Skoosh, can you please weigh in again. 

The 22 Feb 1814 birth in Kilmorack is reasonably similar to the 18 Feb 1815 birth noted in the 1901 census. I've looked up Kilmorack and see that it is not far from Inverness and situated in hill and mountain pastures with the western portion of the parish "exceedingly mountainous". I can't tell how far it is from Ben Nevis.

Thoughts? Could this be a possibility for me?

One more note - As much as I was hoping for a solid lead, I've ruled out the mother Janet b1779 Kilmonivaig that appears in another *A* tree.  Her son Alexander was head of house in the 1851 Kilmonivaig census while the Alexander I'm searching for was already in Canada, married in Quebec in 1845, and having children.

Red, Kilmorack is outside Lochaber on the east side of Inverness-shire but if he was working as a shepherd for example, they did move around.

Red, what does it have in the religion column at the end - I can't read it.

Thanks Skoosh. I've run across so many 1901 full birth dates that are incorrect, I'm not fully convinced that it's right for Alexander Cameron. I think I'll leave the Kilmorack off the list for now as his mother's name doesn't fit the naming pattern for the children in subsequent generations.

jennywren, every census I've seen for Alexander Cameron says Presbyterian. 

I'm trying to figure out when he came to Canada as well. Based on the 1901 census (which again is a notoriously inconsistent source of emigration years), I'm guessing 1835 (though 5 is the only legible figure). Maybe another way to go at his birth place is to see if there are militay records for those who fought in the Patriot Revolution (1837-38) in Quebec/Ontario. A man who was to become his brother-in-law did. If Alexander did as well, I wonder if there might be a lead there? Hmmmm
