I have a record of a Donald Nicholson whose son Neil married a Mary McLure. They had a son John Nicholson (1790) who (m 1810) Meron / Marion McInnes - daughter of Malcolm and Margaret McInnes of Heaste.

Do you have any other McInnes connections in your files from Sleat / Strath including Drumfearn area please?

Hi!

I have a pretty good selection of McInnes and Nicolson within my family files who have married McLures.  I have checked for the names that you mentioned in your post, and I don't appear to have your family. Sorry!

One of the earlier ones I have is a Neil McInnes b. abt 1787, that married Mary Matheson - they were a Drumfearn family.
Any use to you?

Do you have any idea who your Mary McLures parents were?

Yeap... Neil (m) Matheson is the son of Miles McInnes (m) Marion McKenzie. He was originally from Leitir Fura where his father Black John McInnes was one of the last occupants. (relocated by MacDonald in circa 1792 to Drumfearn). Neil was one of 6 or 7 boys I think it was and one daughter Catherine who married a Donald McInnes from Heaste across the loch, (son of Malcolm McInnes (m) Margaret Buchanan).

This Malcolm was also related to Miles of Drumfearn and I have all of this somewhere. The Nicholson / Mary McLure bit I copied in last message is recorded along with Angus Nicholson's family in the front of his bible from Drumfearn (he emigrated to Picton, Australia). He was a son of the John and Meron (nee McInnes) Nicholson's mentioned.

Anything you have on any McInnes's would be appreciated to add to my growing jigsaw puzzle and if I can help in anyway please advise - email is (*)

Miles McInnes of Drumfearn - was the the Miles that married Mary McLure March 5, 1844.  They had at least one son - Malcolm - born in December of 1845.

If you are concentrating on the McInnes family, you need to speak to Rosanne McInnes in Australia.  I will pm you her email address.  Hopefully she hasn't changed it!  (It's been ages since we last chatted.)
Rosanne has a huge collection of all things McInnes on Skye.

The Miles you refer to was later although don't seem to have him fitted in anywhere. No doubt off one of the lines and as you say Rossane has more. I am a bit like Rossanne but not as used to technology. What I have in my material is a McInnes line going back to 1500's that looks like....
It would be worth testing the verasity of this with Maggie MacDonald at Clan Donald Centre although I have not done this... My McInnes line I can best gauge is ....

Angus Mor (suggested as related to murdered last Laird McInnes from Morvern - possibly a brother)
Miles (given land Leitir Fura Slate (Sleat))
Neil (Leitir Fura)
John (Leitir Fura) and brother Angus Og (captain of men of Sleat captured 1601)
Malcolm (Leitir Fura) and bother Angus line to Isleornsay / merchant
John(Leitir Fura)
Malcolm (Leitir Fura)
*Black John - Angus - **Donald - Duncan - Miles (to US / War of Independence) - (all born Leitir Fura)
*Miles (b Leitir Fura - last to be buried Isle Ornsay) (m) Marion McKenzie - shifted to Drumfearn circa 1792
(have a list of Miles's brothers / sister also who supposedly were Malcolm - Angus Mor - Angus Og - John - Neil - Rachael)
Miles & Marion (Drumfearn)had :
*Donald - Alexander- John- Neil - Malcolm(1801) - Angus(Sandy) - Miles - Catherine (c1806)
Catherine McInnes (Drumfearn) (m) ***Donald McInnes (Heaste) (my g, g, grandparents)

From ** Donald above
Malcolm - to Heaste
*** Donald

The Miles McInnes (m) Mary McLure you refer to will be related off one of the lines no doubt .... without having all of this in a database it is bit hard for me to follow sometimes. I must ask Rossane if she has a database that I can add to ...
Hope this hasn't confused you .... It maybe of use to others also...

Regards
Clinton McInnes

Hello Debbie and Helen

I didn't even know Arthur had any sisters, all I could find was a brother John
and I only  found out about that from William's death certificate.

Can you let me Know of any other brothers and sisters he had, so I can add it them to my family tree
on Genes Reunited.

Thanks
Roseann x
