Munros of Dingwall

[keera]

My interests are with Hugh Munro (born 1764?) and Mary McGregor (born 1766?) whose son Donald marries in 1812 Elizabeth Macrae (parents Colin Macrae and Mary Stewart). With their large family, they emigrate to Sydney Australia in the 1830's. Dingwall is the town mentioned but I know very little else. I would appreciate help in finding out more info on my Munros

I cannot help you directly but as the representative of the Clan Munro in Australia, I put out a newsletter 3 times a year. In it we have a genealogy section in which I include requests for information from members & non members & this has been reasonably successful. If you would like your request included in the next newsletter just let me know.

Your name "Keera" intrigues me as a number of our members in Australia are descended from a Munro Family whose first property in New South Wales was called Keera. In fact one of our members lives in a house called Keera. I would love to know what is your connection with that name?

Is that you Don? I put Keera because Chris etc was taken. Now it's strange you mentioned it. Keera was the middle name of one of more my interesting ancestors. She was born Elizabeth Keera Rankin in 1854. Her father who disappeared or left when she was young was James Rankin a gold digger from Edinburgh. That is all I know of him but now I am  wondering about 'keera' myself!
