I’ve not had time to do much research over the past couple of years and am trying to get back into it now and wondered if anyone knows what happened to the Highland Memorial Inscriptions website please? It was an incredibly useful resource and I used it often to refer to, even if I didn’t always ask for the photos.

I can’t find it anymore and seem to remember the person who had it used to post here sometimes. Ghost Whisperer I think was their username.

Thanks.

The Clan Maclennan website has an entry for Roderick and Ada with info submitted from a grandson of Jessie; Roderick Duncan Maclennan was born around 1870 in Inverness-shire and died around 1925 in SA. It also says he met Ada on the ship on the way to SA.

There is no other info for Roderick but there is a death notice/certificate for Ada with address dated 25th August 1937. There are also only four children listed for Roderick and Ada and you mentioned seven and no documents for Roderick, there are possibly errors in the information. (There is a marriage certificate for Jessie dated 1926 but you may already have this info).

Although not Inverness-shire, if the middle name is correct, there is a Roderick Duncan Mclennan born in Avoch, Ross-shire in 1876 (scotlandspeople: MCLENNAN, RODERICK DUNCAN, Male, 1876, 059/A 27, Avoch) but he seems too young to possibly be married and had a child by 1889.

There are a few other Roderick Duncan's born around that time but none have the surname Maclennan.

I hope this helps

Thanks Agneshill, I was going to mention that but forgot. Warden street was another that was demolished and Grant street has very few houses remaining, although it is still there.

(Oldmapsonline.org is a great free resource I use frequently).

I have sent them an email (and a pm on this website) so hopefully they’ll see it and something will be sorted soon.

That's good
