1. [RossGen] Poolewe [1]
Hi - I notice some discussion about the village (town) of Poolewe. My great grandfather was William Dingwall. He was born approx. 1834 in Strath Gairloch and information I have indicates he was a teacher - a General Assembly Teacher in Poolewe - around 1863. Would anyone know anything about a school or church in that area at the time? He only stayed there approximately four years and moved on to Glasgow. He may have had a relative living there - not sure - I notice Alexander Dingwall married Isabel McRae i

Dear David, Here is a passage that might interest you: "He told me a fascinating story. It came after a discussion on the difficulty of travelling in certain parts of the Highlands. The hardships he endured when the last train had gone were, he said, nothing compared with the awful things that happened to the Scottish troops when the Napoleonic wars were ended. He told me that the Highlanders were paid off at Dover and had to walk back to their homes. So the veterans of Waterloo tightened their kilts
4. Re: [RossGen] Trespass Laws? [1]
Hi Lilian. I too had thought that there was no tresspass law in Scotland but after reading "the Lore & Law of Scottish Access" I am now not sure. A search on that phrase may also get you confused. I had some recollection that trespass on His/Her Majesties Dockyards was against the law. I used to roam the hills of Ross-shire fully believing that I was not breaking the law.

5. [RossGen] Re: [SCT-INV] Ministers and Clearances [1]
Lilian, I have never read any of Dr. Kennedy. My understanding is that he himself mentions the Sutherland family, not any biographer or 3rd party. My source is a close family friend who is a staunch member of the Free Church in Inverness, whose brother is a Free Church elder in Stornoway and they are cousins of the famous "Professor MacLeod" who unintentionally split the Free Church wide open several years ago following his acquittal on the trumped up charges he faced in Edinburgh. My friend's family reads
6. Re: [RossGen] Castlecraig [1]
Hi Mark, Thanks for solving my mystery. I am very pleased to have the facts. Your friends at Castlecraig nearly had unexpected visitors last summer ! I would have gone into the farm to enquire, except for the foot and mouth. We drove all around the Black Isle, but I regret that we didn't notice the castle ruin from the road opposite Evanton/Alness. Perhaps it is right on the coast and not very obvious unless you are actually looking for it. I was surprised how tiny the places on the Black Isle are (exce

Information I received indicated he was a General Assembly teacher in Poolewe around 1863 - not sure of the exact time frame - for approximately four years. Would anyone know anything about a school or church in that area where he might have taught? He may have gone there because of a relative living there - may have - guessing - there i

11. [RossGen] cameron of Pollewe [1]
I am trying to locate the family of my great grandmother Margaret Cameron, daughter of Murdoch Cameron, born 1828 in Pollewe. She came to Australia in 1848/9 I believe. I understand Pollewe to be in Ross-Shire. I am also trying to locate a place called Oxlemains which I think is also in Scotland. Any information would be gratefully received. I am in Victoria, Australia and would be happy to help locating people who arrived here after 1836 Pam M, Australia jmatt@ycs.com.au

Paul King a representative of Instabooks (Sp.?)Canada, gave details of a new system that could soon be available in bookstores in Canada.

The most expensive book on offer at the moment costs $20.00, most cost between $10 and $15.00. The company has negotiated
14. [RossGen] Ross Family Kilmuir Easter [1]
Hi Shirley, I have an ancestor Fanny Ross (but in some records Henny or Harriet Ross) who married John Matheson at Kilmuir Easter 20.2.1793. Their children were Hugh 1794, Ann 1795, John 1796 and 1798, Christian 1800, William 1804, Donald 1806 and Alexander 1809., It looks as though Fanny could be a sister of your Walter Ross who married in 1796. Do you have a record of Walter's siblings ? Do you know his parents ? Ken Thompson Port Macquarie, Australia ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shirley Garn
15. Re: [RossGen] clearances [1]
Lilian, If you check out the following web site http://www.xrefer.com/entry/359515 you will find that Mrs Caroline Chisholm (nee Jones)was an Australian Philanthropist, who among other things, founded the Family Colonization Loan Society in 1849. This loaned passage money, repayable when the emigrants had settled in Australia.She wanted to bring emancipated convicts' families and other families to Australia, instead of following the government policy of selective colonization which led to an imbalance of t

I came across the following enries in, "The Annals of our Time," by Joseph Irving (MacMillan, 1869) - described as, "A diurnal of events, social and political, which have happened in, or had relation to, the Kingdom of Great Britain, from the Accession of Queen Victoria to the opening of the present parliament." - the last entry is from 1868. 27 February, 1850 : Farewell meeting of the emigrants of Mrs Chisholm's Family Colonization Land Society, who sailed for Australia, on the 30th in the 'Slains Castle

20. [RossGen] SCOTS NAMING PRACTISE [1]
Hi Wendy Thanks for your note. Your family names seem very close to my own, so there may be relationships. I wonder if you could give me the dates and places for your Donald Urquhart m Ann McDonald and for William Urquhart m Mary Munro ? Do you have some reson to think that William may have married twice ? Records for my first Scots in Australia were from immigrant records, which also gave their parent's names. Most of this checked out on the IGI or Scots Origins, which also produced records of siblings.

22. [RossGen] Schools and "Gleaner"shipwreck [1]
Does anyone out there know how many schools operated in Stornoway from approximately 1843 to 1848 and how I could get lists of students who attended? I'm trying to locate where ROBERTSON MACAULAY attended school (and lived) from 1843 when he was ten years old to 1848 when he was fifteen. He had been sent to Stornoway to live with his father's sister who lived in Stornoway and if I can find anything out about her, I might be able to figure out his father's family. Robertson's father was Kenneth Macaulay f

24. [RossGen] WEDDINGS AND CHRISTENINGS [1]
Hello Marleen, Thanks for the information. I will check out your website and access "The Highlanders". I have found that the University of NSW has a copy. I am sure my Christian Matheson has Lochalsh connections. I am relieved that you don't think 50 miles is much of a barrier to weddings and christenings in the Highlands. It will probably open up some research possibilities for me. Perhaps I have been too much influenced by researching my ancestral families in Westmorland and Cumberland. My observations
