Inverness / Tomnahurich Gravestone
« on: Thursday 27 October 11 15:03 BST (UK)  »
I wonder if anybody might happen to have a photo of a gravestone in Tomnahurich, Inverness - the Right Rev Duncan MacInnes MM, Episcopalian Bishop of Moray, Ross and Caithness who died in 1970.

Angus (Forfarshire) / Miss Wilhelmina Hume, Brechin

Does anybody have any information (photo, obituary, place of burial) of Miss Wilhelmina Hume who died at River Street, Brechin in June 1921, aged 74.
She was the daughter of David Hume and Isabella Thoms. The 1891 and 1901 census show she was Matron of the Belford Hospital, Fort William.

Thank you Monica
yes, I have seen the gravestone in Tomnahurich. A very sad family. Angus, one of the deaf and dumb sons was also drowned in the canal in 1949, and Alexander, also deaf and dumb was killed in a motor bike accident. Thomas killed during WW1. William seems to have married and had a daughter who was drowned with her grandfather, but I don't know what became of William or his wife. Thanks for your help.

Does anybody know anything of the family of William Fraser and his wife Isabella MacDonell of Dochgarroch Inverness? William was a lock keeper and was drowned in the Caledonian Canal in 1915 with his granddaughter. He had three sons Alexander, Donald and Angus who were deaf and dumb. Therre were another three sons, William, Evan and Thomas all born at Dochgarroch between 1871 and 1885. Isabella MacDonell was from Invergarry and died at Inverness in 1924.

There are two possible burial grounds in Glengarry where he may have been buried. One at the head of Loch Lochy (Kilfinnan) which is the burial ground of THE MacDonells of Glengarry. The other is at Munerigie just beyond Invergarry on the road to Skye - this is very close to Achluachrach.

Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this posting. Mary Kennedy is one of my Glengarry Kennedy family. One of their daughters was Mrs Matheson, Lilac Cottage, Fort Augustus - tragic house fire 1940 - three youngsters killed. Another daughter married Roderick Kennedy, Inverness - they lived in "Culzean", Telford Street, Inverness - the family had a butchers shop in Inverness and one of the sons was Canon Alistair Kennedy died about 1975.
Connected to the Kennedy and MacDonell families of Stratherrick and the MacDonald family of Achnaconeran, Glenmoriston. Many relatives around Fort William area.
