Aye; Hilton Laddie and Tommy Brunton are the one and the same, Aly-uisdean's curly blond haired grandson ,who lived at 2 King St during the war.(now old,dark brown and grey,and bald) My mother was Alexander and Annie MacAngus's daughter Alice MacAngus , who met and married my father Andrew Brunton when he came as member of the Canadian Cameron Highlanders of Winnipeg to visit his uncle Gordon Crawford the school headmaster. My granny Annie's brother William Tarrel was a Black Watch lieutenant in WW1 and a school headmaster as well. A young picture of me with my mother ,and one of my mother Alice with two of her her brothers and sisters ,my uncle Alexander MacAngus (lost at sea WW2) and my aunt Ina MacAngus.

« on: Tuesday 21 June 11 19:35 BST (UK) »Hello Guys, I believe the MacAngus's in the Villages were known as the "Cannisheek", that won't be the spelling but the nearest to its pronounciation. My own Gt'Grannie was a Helen Mackenzie from Londhu,Fearn Station. Her father Andrew Mackenzie and mother Ann Thomson, the last of them there died after the war Ebie Mackenzie, who was the local Seannachie, who would have been good on the RootsChat!! There is an old map of Hilton in the map section on "scotfamtree", great site folks. Have you read "My Uncle George" by Alastair Phillips, a smashing read, his uncle was the Free Church Minister at Fearn, Rev Mackay, and there's quite a bit about the Hilton folk,available in paperback, very funny. Cheers The Noo!......Skoosh.Hi Skoosh; Uisdean MacAngus ,of chapter 8 in My Uncle George,was my great grandfather,my grandfather being Alexander ( Aly-Uisdean) MacAngus of 2 King St Hilton. His brother Hugh was lost inn WW1 on the minesweeper HMT Dhoon , and they lived a short stones throw round the corner on Braefoot,where his widow and the daughter he never saw lived out their lives. His daughter Christina ,my mom's first cousin was very kind to me on my visits to hilton.
