MI's for Kilmore, Sleat ? & Mcphersons of Skye

[Magiccat1978]

Hi

I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction. I am looking for memorial inscriptions or a photograph of the headstone of Duncan McIntyre who died in Sleat in 1892 and his wife Janet (Jessie) McPherson who died in Sleat on 29.10.1879. I know there is a headstone as there are various pictures/entries for it on An****ry but I am not a member so I cant access them. Any ideas where I should be looking gratefully received.

For background :
Jessie McPherson born c1816 in Skye is my GGG Grandfather Alexander McPherson's ( born c1819 ) older sister, she married Duncan McIntyre in 1846 ( I think )
Jessie's parents were Donald McPherson and Mary McCrimmon. Donald died some time between 1841 and 1851 and in 1852 Mary and 7 of their children left Skye and emigrated to Australia.
I think Duncan lived in Duirinish at the time of his death possibly in 1849 but this is unconfirmed. My GGG Grandfather Alexander died at he Inverness District Asylum on the 16.4.1883. I don't know where Donald or Alexander are laid to rest but would be interested in any info on this too

Sorry that turned in to a longer post than intended, oh well better too much info than too little - I think

thanks

Hi Magiccat,

I saved the image of the headstone you wanted earlier on, but it's just a low resolution thumbnail, usually you can open them up to get a better view.  Looking just now, it's vanished with a notice saying 'Isle of Skye Family History Project under construction'!  They don't seem to have a website but there is this one where you can make contact via a guestbook, I'm sure they will help. http://www.sleatlocalhistorysociety.org.uk/

Because the photo is/was on a public tree I imagine it's covered by creative commons license, so long as the photographer is credited, in this case Dennis Whitteron.  The three people mentioned on the stone are:

Duncan MacIntyre 1821 – 1892
Janet MacPherson 1815 – 1879
Annabella MacIntyre 1854 – 1872
