Inverness / MacDonald/MacKinnon from Skye?
« on: Saturday 30 November 19 14:37 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

I am looking for any information on Donald MacDonald and his wife Flora MacKinnon. They are the parents of Christina MacDonald 1799?-1869. The only mention I can find of them is on Christina's death certificate. I don't know where Christina was born but I know she died in Roag on Skye. Her husband was Kenneth MacInnes. I have found no trace of any of these individuals on Scotlandspeople (with the exception of Christina's DC) I know this isn't much to go on but I would be thankful for any help I may receive.

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for information on the parents of my 3x Great Grandmother Flora Cameron. I believe they were Angus Cameron and Anne Campbell. I am unable to confirm this. She went on to marry Ewen MacKinnon around 1804. I would appreciate any help anyone may be able to give.

Many Thanks

Ireland / Dennis Shields and Mary Gallacher
« on: Friday 21 July 17 10:40 BST (UK)  »
Hi Everyone,

I wonder if anyone has any information on the parents of My 2x great grandfather Michael Shields. I believe Michael was born in Ireland around 1845. There is some mention in the family that he was born in Donegal. His parents were Dennis Shields and Mary Gallacher. the only mention I have of the is on Michael's marriage and death certificates. Michael moved to Scotland sometime after his birth, I presume with his parents and died in Helensburgh in 1914.

Any information would be much appreciated.

Lanarkshire / John Brown or McCulloch?
« on: Thursday 20 July 17 16:42 BST (UK)  »
Hi Everyone!

I wonder if someone might be able to help with a problem I am having. I was looking for the birth certificate for my great grandfather John Brown. I already had his marriage and death certificate which gave his parents names as William Brown and Jane Crop but I have been unable to find it.

From his MC and DC I was able to narrow down his year of birth to around 1897. The problem I have is that William and Jane were not married until 1903 (in Inverness). I found that Jane Crop had been previously married to an Alexander McCulloch in 1882 in Calton? district of Camlachie, Glasgow. I know that this is the same Jane Crop as both MC's have her parents names as William Crop and Margaret Boyd. I haven't been able to find birth details under either potential fathers. As a result I am not sure where and when (exactly) John was born.

What I am trying to find out is who is John Brown's father? Is it William Brown, who then went on to marry his mother six years later or, was it Alexander McCulloch (or even someone else!?)?

If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

Regards

Inverness / Anne Gordon b abt 1811 Kilmuir, Skye
« on: Wednesday 10 August 16 15:17 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I was wondering whether someone might help me overcome a bit of a brick wall I've hit. I'm looking to find the forebears of Ann Gordon born about 1811 in Kilmuir, Skye. I know she married a Donald MacLeod and her parents I believe were Alexander Gordon and Catherine MacLean Though I'm not 100% sure. I have tried and failed to find any information on ScotlandsPeople. So if anyone has any help or information it will be much appreciated.

Thanks

Scotland / Betsy Campbell Duirinish, Skye?
« on: Sunday 03 May 15 10:17 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I am looking for the maiden name (and any other information) regarding my gr gr gr grandmother.

I have very little information to go on. She was married to my gr gr gr grandfather Archibald Campbell. I don't have any marriage information. What details I do have comes from my gr gr grandmother Margaret (Peggy) Campbell's death certificate. Peggy , who was born circa. 1828, married my gr gr grandfather Donald Ferguson on 27/5/1847 in Roag, Isle of Skye. The death certificate does not show Betsy's maiden name. I would really like to know what it is.

There has been suggested by family members that Peggy may ave been born in Lanarkshire but I have no evidence for this.

I would appreciate any help anyone may be able to give on this.

Any information or suggestions where I might find this information would be much appreciated.
