Inverness / Re: Gillies, MacEachens in Ardnamurchan pre 1852.

Thanks Martin.

I have not heard of Sarah before but she could be a relation of John & Ann. 
I'll look for her in the 1841 census.

Kind regards,
Janet.

Hi Joe.
Looks as if Angus was John & Ann MacEachen's father & Catherine their mother - according to the naming pattern of the children (& 1841 census). 
If that's correct would Andrew Gillies father have been Angus as well?  Did the naming pattern only follow on the father's side?
Regards,
Janet.

Australia / Re: Scottish migrants to South Australia 1852.

Thanks for your reply.
I do have all the births etc. for the Gillies but most of the MacEachens (various spellings) seem to have moved from S.A. 
I am more interested in the parents of Andrew Gillies & Ann MacEachen. 
Obviously the two MacEachen families on the Medina were related - one probably a sibling - the other a cousin. 
I have not been able to trace them through the CD roms of BDMs here in S.A. - (& there are too many Johns!) - I don't know whos who.   ???
Regards,
Janet.

« on: Tuesday 06 November 07 03:09 GMT (UK)  »
I am looking for ancestors of these three families from Ardnamurchan Inverness who migrated to South Australia in 1852 on the ship Medina.

John 54 & Margaret 47 (nee Macleod) MacEachen & their children Angus 20, Catherine 18, Mary 13, Johanna 11 & Elizabeth 9 years. John was a tailor who lived Moss of Keppoch Ardnamurchan.

Also John 58 & Margaret 50 (nee MacDonald) MacEachen & their children John 22, Christian (Christina) 16, Francis 15, Margaret 13, James 9 & Ann 6 years. Their father was a Sherrif's Officer who lived Back of Keppoch Ardnamurchan.

Andrew 50 & Ann 43 (MacEachen) Gillies were also on board with their children Ann 27, Angus 25, Mary 18, Donald 15, Christian (Christina) 13, Ewen 10 & John 7 years - my gr.grandfather. They also lived Back of Keppoch Ardnamurchan.

Thanks.
Janet.
