Christina Scott b abt 1856 Inverness, Argyllsh

[Skoosh]

Sheila, I think the Glendomor is Glendoemor, there is a Glendoebeg (small) so there must be a Glendoemor (big), Glendoe Forest is just north of Cullachy Forest, the laird was Lovat.  Letterfearn is on the east bank of Loch Oich south of Cullachy, also Lovat I think, and Borlum is between Cullachy & Glendoe, adjacent to Fort Augustus.

Skoosh.

Yes, she lists him as deceased on her wedding certificate, but, I expanded my search because Skoosh suggested that sometimes a family member can be listed as dead if he's not been part of the children's upbringing.

Oops, having trouble with my computer this morning...need more coffee! Didn't mean to send that incomplete response
Thank you Skoosh for the geographical information. I'm working from a map and the Internet and many of the places are not easily found.
And Ann Marie, you can see why the family has always hit a "brick wall" when trying to research Christina Scott. On a positive note though, the Alexander Scott I've been researching is the only Alexander Scott who fits the profile and lives in the Invernessshire/Agryll-shire areas.
Crossing my fingers and sipping another cup of coffee!
Thanks again. Sheila

Yes, she lists him as deceased on her wedding certificate

I did say earlier.....

Christina's marriage in 1887 states father Alexander Scott, Farmer, Deceased 

Now Sheila......this could of course be untrue.......but equally it may also be true 

I'm just thinking no marriage in Scotland so maybe a tale of where daddy was    

I have searched SP for a birth for Christina with surname Scott & as it was STATUTORY (LAW) from 1855 she must have a different surname when registered or.............born in one of these districts as this is the list for all of Scotland 1855 - 1858

Ann Marie, Thank you! I will go thru the list and see if anything matches up.
BTW the Christina Cameron that looked promising in SP (as well as brother Alexander Cameron) had the wrong father.
Sheila

[Rosinish]

Sorry Sheila, the births were wrong but sure was worth a look as I couldn't find any births for either in that area with the dates corresponding under the name Scott

Blimey! Finally! I found Christina Scott's parents marriage record AND a couple of years of census records. She was legitimate..just way older than I was told (and the English census records showed).
The final clue was a copy of an old will from 1875 that I found tucked into a box of travel souvenirs from my Dad's trip to England to visit his brother.
Christina's parents were Alexander Scott and Jane McMillin (Macmillan), both were born and married in Urquhart, Invernesshire. Christina was born in abt 1848 in Kiltartlity, Invernesshire. Still looking for her birth record.  I know that Alexander Scott's parents were Donal Scott and Margaret Munro. Jane's dad was William McMillan...and I think her mom was a Chisholm...just have to confirm by finding Christina's birth record. She had lots of siblings so I think it will help me find more about her.
Anyway, THANK YOU all who wrote earlier trying to help me out. I so appreciate it! Happy Thanksgiving from California. Sheila
