The Common Room / Re: Who was Mr. Heggie that married a Cameron
« on: Sunday 04 July 21 21:12 BST (UK)  »
I really don't know.  I'm assuming 1860s and later since I have photos?  The only information I have is what I put in the original post.  I'm also assuming that it's Ontario, Canada since that seems to be where all the other photos in the album take place.  I haven't been able to find anything on FamilySearch (and I don't have a paid subscription to Ancestry at the moment).

The Common Room / Who was Mr. Heggie that married a Cameron
« on: Sunday 04 July 21 21:06 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

This might be a long shot because I have very very little information.  I do not know names, countries or dates.

I have a copy of a photo of a woman that has a handwritten note saying "Mrs. Heggie was a Cameron".  I also have a photo of a Mr. Heggie (son of Mrs. Heggie) that has a handwritten note "Mr. Heggie his mother was a sister of the 4 Camerons"

Can anyone help me find out who "Mrs. Heggie"'s husband was?

[I edited the caption of the photo of Mrs Heggie after taking a closer look and edited out the bit about Mr Heggie being the son of Mrs Heggie since I can no longer confirm that from the edited caption of Mrs Heggie's photo]

Thanks,

United States of America / Dictionary of Scottish Emigrants to the USA
« on: Sunday 04 July 21 20:50 BST (UK)  »
Would anyone have a copy of the Dictionary of Scottish Emigrants to the USA by Donald Whyte and would they be willing to look up a couple of names names for me?

1) Elizabeth Armour emigrated in 1820 to Philadelphia with her brother (John) and sister (Jane).  They were born in Argyll, Scotland.
2) James McMurchy born 1831 in Argyll, Scotland.  I do not know when he emigrated but I do know he was in the USA in the late 1850s.  He may have come over with his mother Margaret McShenoig (or McShannon).

Thanks.

We also have DNA matches to many well established Canadian
From Alexander ARMOUR 1814-1886 from Argyll m Mary MILLOY 9 children mostly born Canada

Does anyone have these people on their trees ?

I'll try and remember to post back about these names if I come across them.  I'm slowly putting together an Armour tree for myself.

Kintyre Families (by Angus Martin) indicates that a James Armour from Ayrshire went to Kintyre c.1665.  Not sure where that information came from but maybe somehow he is related to Jean Armour of the original post?

How popular of a name was Armour in Ayrshire?

Apparently it's my Armour side that are rumoured to be related to Jean Armour.  Also apparently, it's indicated that my Kintyre Armours originally are from Ayrshire.  However, I have not yet been able to find anything concretely shows this.  Kintyre in the 17th Century (by Andrew McKerral) indicates on page 106 that "and John Martin, servant to James Armour of Hillabee...", where perharps "Hillabee" is also known as "Hill of Beith" in Ayrshire?  At any rate, it would be interesting to see if my Kintyre Armours can be connected to Jean Armour, Robert Burns' wife.

Jane Amour b 1700 abt Kilmarnock is at the top of my tree
Married Hugh Dunlop

I match DNA with people who have
Ayr ARMOUR. And earlier from Argyll
But I haven't joined the dots yet

Janes father may have been James son of Robert b about 1650

So there must be a connection to the Argyll family but I don't know what

I figure there's got to be some sort of connection but who knows.

There is also a rumour in my family that we are somehow related to Jean Armour, Robert Burns wife.  Either that or it's we're related to Robert Burns.  I have both Armours and Burns in my family tree.  The Armours are in Argyll and the Burns are in the Kilbirnie area.

London and Middlesex / Re: Margaret Riddel - Mile End Old Town workhouse
« on: Wednesday 24 March 21 13:45 GMT (UK)  »
I wrote to the London Metropolitan Archives (LMA) and they indicated she likely would have been in the City of London Union workhouse, also known as the Bow Road workhouse.  They also indicated that no records for this workhouse in the 1850 appear to be held at the LMA and are unlikely to have survived.  Too bad, but at least now I know that I don't need to search anymore.

Thanks Mark!

I knew she and her husband John Riddel had been in Ontario, Canada in 1836 but I hadn't been able to find her since and had no idea if she had returned to England.  Obviously they did.  I found her death date on her son's gravestone.  I'll look at everything you sent me.   Thanks again!
