Inverness / Re: Mary Ross-still searching
« on: Sunday 07 October 18 01:42 BST (UK)  »

Looking for information on Mary Ross born 1820-06-22 in Scotland probably Isle of Skye and according to the census she immigrated in 1840 to Prince Edward Island, Canada.   Mary Ross married James McDonald from Uachadar of Gramsdale, South Uist. Mary Ross and James McDonald were married on April 25/1854 by the Baptist Minister John Shaw on PEI. She appears in the 1881, 1891, 1901 and 1911 census in lot 59 on the Whim Road and had one daughter Catherine McDonald born 1855.   
Found some more information that she immigrated to Prince Edward Island with her brother-in-laws family William MacKinnon's family from Uig and William MacKinnon died on PEI in 1841. Possible sister is Effy Ross widow of William MacKinnon. Some DNA matches with Ross around Kilmuir area of Skye but nothing confirmed.

Trying to link the Ross connection.

Thank you Rathmore for the information I've been going through it and see some that might give me more connections.  I spent a lot of time going through the old Cork directories and did my DNA on Ancestry hoping for a few hits and it looks like the Daly linen drapers from Main Street South at that time are my best bet.  Lot's of new information on line the past while so it's good to get access and some assistance.

Thanks for sharing the will abstract information an interesting find and it's possible it could be an uncle of Jeremiah Daly.   It will give me some new names to try and make a connection.

Inverness / Re: Murdoch McDonald
« on: Sunday 27 March 16 18:42 BST (UK)  »
It's been several years since my last posting on Murdoch McDonald and I've found a lot of information  on his life after he immigrated from Skye to Prince Edward Island in 1858. A newspaper article on his death says he immigrated by himself.    According to his death certificate he was born on the Isle of Skye on March 17/1834 and died in Boston Feb 14/1911.  No parents named on the death certificate and his remains were shipped back to PEI for burial in Valleyfield Cemetery accompied by his grandson Hubert Bears.  Have tried Scotlands People but not much luck a few possibilities but expect he was born in Kilmuir-Uig area on Skye.  Many settlers who came to PEI around 1858 were from that area of Skye just wondering if anyone may have come across the name while researching.

Thank you.

Hi Annie:
Thank you for the help and suggestions it's much appreciated.
Here is Mary McDonald Matheson in the 1891 census

John Matheson   41
Mary Matheson   42
Mary Matheson   12
Donald Matheson   10
Effy Matheson   10
Cathrine Matheson   7
Norman Matheson   5
Effey Matheson   77

She also appears in the 1901 census
John Matheron   51
Mary Matheron   52
Mary A Matheron   22
Donald Matheron   20
Catherine Matheron   17
Norman Matheson   16

She died in 1909 aged 60 and is buried in Caledonia, lot 60 PEI.  I have found lot's of information on her but do not know which McDonald family she belonged to.  Have not found any deaths for Jonathan McDonald so far on any of the local cemetery transcripts so guess I should be looking further for him first.  I need to make a trip to the PEI archives I guess.

This is the Mary McDonald Matheson I am trying to find information on in the 1881 census she was born about 1849 and is married to John Matheson.

John Mathewson   32
Mary Mathewson   32
Mary Ann Mathewson   3
John Mathewson   10/12
Ann Mathewson   10/12

The name is spelled wrong in the census but this is the family.  The other Mary McDonald in the 1881 census of John McDonald and Sarah MacKenzie was born in 1858 and could be a sister of John McDonald.  Mary McDonald Matheson born 1849 could possibly be a sister also it was not uncommon for these families to have two siblings with the same name have run in to that numerous times doing research.

Hello

Sorry I should have clarified that I am researching Jonathan McDonald in Prince Edward Island.  Have done some research checked the local archives, several cemetery transcriptions Caledonia, Valleyfield, Belfast and Wood Islands and 1861, 1881 and 1891 census.  He only seems to appear in the 1881 census no trace after that.

thanks, Jane
