Yes, I'd like to share/compare our files.
I have read a couple of Angus's books; the one I am starting now is Salt in my Porridge. I was looking for some info and someone told me it was in this book.

Thank you for taking the time to reply, even tho it is ian old post. Don't think I ever found out if Duror was the actual name of a place. But I did make the connection of Angus(the author) to my MacVicar/McVicar family. He is my 2nd cousin, 2x removed.
I have Rodrick MacAulay and Mary MacVicar in my tree. Mary is my 1st cousin 3x removed. I have his parents as Rodrick and Mary (Thomson) MacAulay but nothing else for them. I have Mary's parents as Angus John and Isabella(MacLean) MacVicar. I have 5 children for Roderick and Mary. Mary's brother John is my maternal 2nd great grandfather. Any time you want to share/compare info-just send me an email and I will be glad to connect with you.

Thanx Christopher,
I will HAVE to take it slow.........................I only have Anna's name, birth info, death info and her parents names to start with. I may have found some information in PA where Anna was born; I'm still working with that.
I don't have any inforamtion to help me with what their prefession might be or anything.
I will jsut have to stay with Anna's info before I try to trace her parents back to Ireland.
I did read that a lot of peoplethat were  from Ireland lived in Scotland and vice versa.
Thank you for taking the time to reply to my post. I appreciate all your advice/information!

Inverness / ANGUS MACVICAR/ ANN MACDONALD
« on: Sunday 10 February 08 02:27 GMT (UK)  »
I rec'vd information that a Sandra MacVicar of North Uist made some family charts for Angus and Ann's family.
Does anyone know how I can make contact with her?
I believe her work is connected to my family:
Angus 1795-1886
Ann MacDonald 1806-1861
In this information it states one of their sons-Angus MacVicar born about 1845 that married Isabella MacLaean is the grandfather of Angus MacVicar the author.
PLEASE, if anyone can connect me with Sandra I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanx
Nannette

Martin-
I know very little about Scotland, I can only tell you what I read in Angus's book "Salt in my Porridge" on page 17 he writes "She (referring to his mother) and I were alone together when I was born in Duror in October 1908." Then in the next paragrah he writes"When our parents came tot he Southend at the Mull of Kintyre, where five of us were born,........................."
I could have misunderstood what he was referencing. I know he was raised in the Manse; my understanding of that is-it is the house provided by the church.

Anna-
No, I have not  traced any papers yet. I don't know where to start or how to go about that.
Thanx, Nannette

Argyllshire / Rev Angus J MacVicar

Hello all,
I'm looking for any genealogy files that would help me determine if this MacVicar family is connected to me.
I only know that the reverend's nickname from his children was THE PADRE. He was born about 1876 Scotland.
The Padre-Angus's father was also named Angus. I don't know his mother's name.
 The Padre-Angus married Marjorie (Marsali) MacKenzie.
The Padre-Angus had a son named Angus born 1908 Duror, Southend, Scotland; he is a well known author and died Oct2001.
Other children of the Padre-Angus and Margaret are:
Archie born about 1911
Willie born about 1913
Rona born about 1917
Kenneth born about 1927
John unkown when born
If this family is connected to me, someone would have had to immigrate to Canada.
My earliest confirmed MacVicar/McVicar relative is:
John McVicar born Aug1834 Scotland died 13Jan1908 Gagetown, Michigan. The only information I have for his parents are the names-Angus McVicar and Ann(possibly McAly-or something like that).
John married Ann McDonald 31Mar1862 Ontario, Canada; Ann was born Dec1843 Scotland; died 07Feb1909 Fort William, Ontario, Canada.
Someone once sent me information stating John's wife and mother both had the maiden name MacDonald/McDonald.
If you can help with any information connecting the author Angus MacVicar to me, please contact me.
Thanx
Nannette

yes, in the beginning I was just trying to find it like it was spelled on the death cert then realized back in Ireland it could be spelled other ways.

Hi Christopher,
Thank you for taking the time to reply to my message.
This at least gives me a place to look, and some information to work with.
I did a quick look at the site you provided, it is loaded  with information. It will be great to use as a reference. Who knows maybe I could make a connection!
Thanx
Nannette
