1. McLEAN [1]
Would anyone researching McLeans have a Donald and Margaret that had a daughter Janet born about 1816-18 and then came to Ontario? I have a Janet McLean who married my John McNeil in Lanark Co. in 1835 and according to the naming pattern, I think Janet's parents may have been Donald and Margaret. Also, the above John McNeil's parents were also John McNeil and Janet McLean married in 1785 in Aren or Arine. This John McNeil was born in Druingigha. Any information on McLeans that might be related would b
2. Definition of Mull [1]
Leafing through my aunt's old copy of McAlpine's Pronouncing Gaelic Dictionary (first published in 1832) I came across this entry - which she had marked: DREOLUNN, dryoll'-unn, noun, masc., an old name for the Island of Mull. Anyone else have a reference to this? or know the origin of the name? Jill M.
3. Re: Earl of Selkirk and Coy's Party Engaged in Ross [1]

4. Re:V00 #199-#1 MacArthurs on Isle of Mull in 1716 [1]
To Jill Allford: Re your MacArthur info. from "Inhabitants of the Inner Isles Morvern and Arnamurchan 1716", edited by Nicholas Maclean-Bristol, Isle of Coll, 5th October 1997..............This is wonderful information to share with the list. Was wondering if you know if there were any Mc/MacPhee's on this list. Would be most grateful for this information. Thanks. Judy
5. Re: Highland Clearances [1]
Hi all, Thanks to Jean and Tom for your queries re: the book on the Highland Clearances. The ISBN number is: 0224 02750 6. The book may be out of print. I bought my paperback copy in Scotland in 1994. Subsequently we tried to order a second copy in Canada, but were told it was unavailable. Then three years ago my father bought a different edition here in Canada - if he still has the book, I'll find out the publisher and post it. You might have luck through the library - my small local library here in To
6. McColls [1]
Thanks for your note Frank! Glad you enjoyed my comments. Here is a question for you and for others on the list: In the 1851 census my McDougall family is listed at Kilninian, also a neice, Mary Sprow, 6 years old, from Glasgow. On IGI the closest name I could find was "Sprowl", Mary, born December 28, 1843, parents Robert Sprowl and Mary McColl, Barony, Lanark. I believe there has to be a Mull connection,-- perhaps the mother, Mary McColl, was from Mull. Any ideas? Joan on Georgian Bay!
7. Re: Penceroy ? [1]
Hi Tom Hopefully someone can answer your question as to the location of Penceroy. I'm sure you've had numerous responses regarding how fortunate you are to have such prize possessions as your letters. This may seem rather snoopy.....but would you be willing to share a few excerpts or the letter in it's entirety with the list. As I for one would be most interested in getting more of a feel of the experiences these ancestors of our must of had. Some of us less fortunate have nothing to claim as belonging

9. Anything regarding Mull is OK by me [1]
Hi All If anyone happens to locate a book or any information pertaining to Mull please post it to the list. My personal choice would be if someone located some passenger lists from Mull to Ont. in print. Jill D.... I don't mind the publicity for Jo's forthcoming book. FYI I asked Jo to join our group when the news broke of her book. She has graciously accepted. When she has all the details of postage etc. I have asked her to post the information to the list so we can all place our orders. later -- Ida
10. Re: surname Montgomery- around 1730 [1]
Hi Liz... I can't find your in the 1851 census, but there is a Montgomery at Kilchroman in the census for Salen MONTGOMERY John 27 shepherd born Hutton Dmfrs Mary 21 wife born Ulva John 2 son Duncan 5months son If you want to talk of the fringes of Mull I guess Ulva might be considered that way!! That seems to be the only entry in the 1851 census. Happy searching Jean Whimp ----- Original Message ----- From: lizzy
11. Re: location on Mull? [1]
I think the two are probably the same. >From Charles Maclean "the Isle of Mull Place Names and meanings" 618.305 Tom na Gualainne in 1818 was written as Tomnaguolan. It means round hill at the shoulder (of the mountain) >From my mapit shows as on the right hand side of the main road to Iona just at the point where the other road goes off South to Lochbuie. It appears to be a very steep promontory. Hope this helps Jean Whimp ----- Original Message ----- From: Northcot To:
12. Re: Stewart [1]
Hi Russell; This may be a long shot (but given the plethora of name changes may be a connection)and the age is vaguely right. A Mary STUART sailed for Sydney from Tobermoray on the "George Fyfe" in 1839. She is meant to have sailed with some of her family. She later married John McFarlane who left with his father Duncan in 1838 on the "British King". Some colleagues on the list may know a bit more about this Mary Stuart. cheers, Ian Scott Melbourne

17. Highland Clearances [1]
Hi all, Just re-read the last few weeks' postings, and noticed the letters re: the Highland Clearances. For a thoughtful and very moving account, read a splendid book called "On the Crofters' Trail - In search of the Clearance Highlanders", by Scottish writer David Craig. (Published in 1990 by Jonathan Cape Ltd.) It's well written, based on years of story-tracking and research in Scotland (all through the Highlands and Islands, including Mull and specifically Tobermory, the Ross of Mull and Bunessan) and in
18. Question- Gaelic Names [1]
Has anyone on this list come across a Gaelic name or another name for "Lucy"? I have been told that "Luisaigdh" was the Gaelic word. There is a Lucy McGREGOR that has turned up in my research (not directly connected to my family) but think that Lucy may have been a nickname. Could this be Louise, etc.? Any ideas of another name for "Lucy"? Lucy is not coming up in search results. Thanks for your help. Jane Poole JPoole4405@aol.com

Maybe in my lifetime I will succeed in "jumping the pond" to locate the ancestry of my g-g-grandfather Neil MacLEAN, "of Coll or Mull" who arrived in Cape Breton, Inverness Co., Nova Scotia c. 1820 with a wife named Margaret (likely a 2nd wife) and a 9 year old son Donald, b.

21. Canadian Members [1]
Hello, Anyone who is not shy about being on TV and would like to have an opportunity to travel back to their ancestral homeland, may have an interest in this posting. I apoligize if you receive this posting more than once because you may be on some of the same lists that I'm on. This message was originally posted on the Rootsweb Dumfrieshire List by Hal Irving, who was contacted by Great Northern Productions as a result of some info he posted in a Rootsweb Newsletter. I asked Hal for permission to post
22. Re: Question- Gaelic Names [1]
"Lucy" doesn 't strike me as a Scottish name, let alone a Gaelic one. It can come from Lucille, Lucilla, Louise, Lucretia, (all of which are English or continental) and perhaps other others, none of which have Gaelic roots. I think it more likely that "Lucy" might be a nickname, having no connection to the woman's given name, as you suggest. How certain are you that Gaelic was the family language? Might they might have been using English names. John M. Collins >Has anyone on this list come across
23. Re: SCT-ISLEOFMULL-D Digest V00 #177 [1]
Connie, I wonder if you are a member of the Port Phillip Pioneers Group of the Genealogical socy of Victoria. With ancestors arriving before July 1851 you would qualify for membership and they are always interested in new people. Let me know if you want more details. I had a look at the 1779 census of inhabitants of the Argyll Estate. there are many McGilvra entries for Bunessan (let me know if you want me to photocopy the whole page for Bunnessan). Names of daughters are not given just the fact th
