Yes, that's what I got too. Not just me then! Thanks for looking.

Inverness / Rothiemurchus
« on: Sunday 31 October 21 14:24 GMT (UK) »
I was trying to find the Kirk Session records for 18thC Rothiemurchus in Scotland's People Virtual Volumes but without luck. Can anyone tell me if they are there and I'm being a moron or haven't been digitised/don't exist? Many thanks

No, they didn't mind where they were buried, just felt a stone was too flash! Grantown isn't a particular problem. I know James Grant 1812-1900, his second wife Christina McIntosh 1815-1879 and presumably their son Robert 1830 -? are in Inverallen - just no stone.

They were Christadelphians and a number of them are in Inverallen Graveyard. I guess I'll have to check the burial records next time I am up there to see which bit of bare earth is them!

That was very good of you. None of my 19thC Grants have stones as they very unhelpfully belonged to a religious sect that didn't believe in them. They are all in unmarked graves!

There is a vickigardiner167 with a tree on Ancestry with whom I had communications about 10 years ago. She is the great granddaughter of Isabella Masson and is an Australian. She knew Alexander. If you can contact her she may well have lots of information for you.

I am afraid Alexander cannot be the son of one of James Grant's brothers. James 1812-1900 had three brothers, two of whom emigrated to Australia in the 1860s, William 1824-1904 (died in Ashfield NSW) and John Charles 1828-1911 (died in Deniliquin NSW). The third brother Robert was born in 1830 but he has disappeared from all the records from the 1841 census onwards. Most of his older siblings are at the family home on that census so I am assuming that he died. It may be that Alexander's father was a brother in law or a relative but I don't think we will ever know.

The Nik in the female name is "daughter of" as Mc is "son of".

I really need a trip up to Scotland to go through the Knockando and Elgin Kirk Session records for 1788 and 1789 to see if either parish have any mention of the illegitimate Robert Banks or any reference to Margaret Miller who died in Knockando in 1789 or Isabel. Not likely this year unfortunately. I wish they would hurry up and put them online!
