Hello,
I'm attempting to find the death date of DANIEL CAMERON, born 06 May 1785, in Dunblane, Perthshire. His parents were LACHLAN CAMERON and MARGARET BUCHANAN. He married MARGARET MCISAAC 08 Apr 1804 and they had 10 children between 1804 and 1826 (?) in Dunblane. The above information was obtained through Scottish records. I would appreciate any help or assistance in leading me to finding his death date.
Thank you,
Sandy Run Trail

It looks like this might be the last child.
CAMERON DAVID DANIEL CAMERON/MARGT. MCIAAC 30/08/1829 Dunblane
Dunblane deaths 1828 – 1854 are on SP but no Daniel, so below looks possible.
CAMERON DANIEL 70 Died 1856 Dunblane.

If you use FreeCEN this might match the information that Colin has found :-\
1851 Census transcription-
Dunblane , Perth.
Daniel Cameron 66 labourer born Dunblane Perth
Marion Cameron 66 wife born Dunblane Perth
1841 Census transcription(all born Perth)-
Raymoyle , Dunblane , Perth
John Reoch 88
Daniel Cameron 50 ag lab
Mary Cameron 50

Hello Colin,
DANIEL and MARGARET CAMERON had at least 2 additional children after Daniel. HUGH CAMERON, born 2 Jun 1824 in Dunblane, and JEAN CAMERON born 13 Nov 1826 in Dunblane.
I'd appreciate the source of the 1856 death date for DANIEL.
Thank you,

I'd appreciate the source of the 1856 death date for DANIEL.
It's on Scotland's People - Daniel Cameron, age 70, died 1856 in Dunblane.
There's no mother's maiden surname in the index, but the original certificate should tell you his father's name.

The 1841 Census I listed is probably Daniel Cameron and Mary Reoch , I suspect the 1851 Census and 1856 death is not your Daniel :-\
There is a Margret Cameron , age 60 , at East Bow(Easter Bows in 1851) Dunblane in 1841 ?
Do any of the childrens birth/baptisms give an address ?

The BMD records mentioned are on https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk
I think you misread the birth record I mentioned the last child was David in 1829.

For information.
Children of DANIEL CAMERON/MARGARET MCISAAC
Alexander 1804, James 1812, John 1815,
William 1819, Peter 1821, Hugh 1824, Jean 1826, David 1829.
I note a gap in birth records 1804 – 1812, I guess they may have lost at least one child?
No death records at Dunblane before 1828 and none for this family 1829 – 1855 on church records.
I guess this might be Maragaret?
MCISAAC MARGARET GEORGE MCISAAC/MARGARET BAIN F 14/09/1783 Kilmadock
They married 18/01/1783 Kilmadock.
No death for Daniel or Margaret on Statutory Records after 1855 and no suitable census records.
It is possible that they died prior to 1855 in a place where the records are not available. I could only identify 3 of the children still in Dunblane after a quick scan through the 1841/1851 census on freereg.

Margaret Cameron was born in 1811 and married James Gentles.
Yes, Daniel's wife was Margaret McIsaac and her parents George and Margaret Bain McIsaac.

Margaret Cameron was born in 1811 and married James Gentles.
Plus Margaret Cameron was born in 1811 and married James Gentle marriage on SP 1830
Tree on Ancestry Death: 1885 Bridgeton, Cumberland, New Jersey, USA
No birth on SP but I suspect it was as below, also noted on Ancestry.

You've been busy. Didn't know about her immigration to US. Shall check Ancestry.
Thank you and Merry Christmas, as we Yanks say...

Thanks for your post. You may be aware of the following but just in case.
Do not be concerned about Margaret's fathers name.
Daniel & Donald are sometimes, but not always, interchangeable in Scotland, because Domhnall, the Gaelic version of Donald, may be Anglicised as Daniel.
It looks like James Cameron(1812–1869) also went to the USA
Death 17 April 1869 • Humboldt, Richardson County, Nebraska, United States of America
Some of the trees on Ancestry do not all have the correct information.
Alexander married and was in Dunblane 1851
John married and lived in Falkirk, Stirlingshire 1851
Hugh remained single and lived in Perthshire.
David was a mason in Dunblane 1851 but not clear afterwards.
No clear trace of the others.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Colin

Yes, I have found errors on several family trees, both Ancestry and FamilySearch. Discouraging. Did not know the interchangeability of Donald/Daniel. Speaking of which, is Colin interchangeable with John and Callender with Alexander?
-
Colin and EV,
Daniel and Mary Reoch/Reach are not mine.
New subject - Scottish Christmas Traditions - My Scottish greats and grand, who immigrated to Pennsylvania, died before I was born and those celebrations are unknown to me. Anything you can pass on to me regarding these traditions would be appreciated.
Thanks,

I wouldn't have thought so, but could these be mistranscriptions? Have you seen the originals?

Hello Forfarian,
Yes, the 1881 Census Falkirk, Scotland has the CAMERON listing showing:
COLIN, age 11 - known as JOHN on immigration passenger list
CALLENDER, age 8 - known as Alexander (my Grandfather), on immigration passenger list.
