Hi,
My friend is going to Scotland in March and would like to look up some places where his ancestors lived, are buried or what would be really great would be to find some living CAMERON relatives.
His gr-grandfather DONALD CAMERON was born in 1845 in South Leith and married LILY BELL who was born in 1849 in Glasgow.
Together with their family I found them on the 1881 census living at Wallaceton Cottage in Dailly. Donald(Mis-spelled Ronald) was a Teacher
Their Children:
Sarah Bell age 2 born in Glasgow
Roderick age 2 born in Dailly
Catherine McBean 6 months Born in Dailly
1891 census
The family lived at 61 Kelvnside Ave. in Barony, Lanarkshire
Sarah 13
Roddie 12
Kate 10
Donald 8
Neil 6
William 4
Robert 3
From a family write-up, son Donald, Neil & William & Daughter Catherine came to Canada to live. Donald came in Aug 1904 but I never found his Immigration record. On the 1881 census with Catherine's middle name McBean I believe I found Donald's(Born 1845) parents, Rodrick & Cathren McBain living with sons William age 8 & Donald age 6 both born in Leith and living in Calder Brachlie in Nairnshire.
This is all the info I could find so if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated. I couldn't find the family on the 1901 census or later or Donald & Lily before the 1881 census. I never found any immigration records or burial records so if someone could help me or point me in the right direction to look.
Thanks,
shearg
