2. Aerated Water, Tob. [1]
Sometime ago someone enquired about the Aerated Water Company in Tobermory. (Sorry- I've deleted the email and don't know who it was) Anyway, I asked at the Tobermory Museum, and nothing showed up in their Archive. Sorry. Christine

4. Re: Dutch Ancestors - Genlias [1]
Hi List Here's a new source of inormation for those whose ancestors came from the Netherlands. To quote : GENLIAS - takes its information "directly from the Civil Register, the most important Dutch source for genealogical research covering the period since 1811." GENLIAS "gives you a quick way to find your Dutch forebears from as far back as 1780." http://www.genlias.nl/pls/gls03/home?cid=CXsULCYoskhEgfyImBhysI4d2&cmd=pageEnglish Don't panic when it opens in Dutch there is a button to click to give
5. Re:Mull (Religion) [1]
It sounds from these e-mails that religious differences are still alive and well among the Scots.There is still a vestige of it in eastern Nova Scotia where I live although people aren't shunned by the family for marrying someone from another faith any more. As to clan rivalries and history perhaps somebody can tell me why my Campbell friend from this area is still blaming the Mac Donalds for the loss at Culloden? Its interesting to see that the Presbyterians,many of whom wouldn't wash a dish on the Sabb
6. Re: The Scottish Family History Service [1]
Hi Listers This Press release was received today. It contains rather belated notification about "Scotland's People" which, as we all know, has been in use for some time. However, the improved fascilities in Edinburgh are to be welcomed. "The Scottish Family History Service The Scottish Family History Service Project is a joint initiative between the key official genealogical information providers in Scotland - the National Archives of Scotland, the General Register Office for Scotland and the Court of t
7. John Henderson and mother Margaret [1]
Hi Listers I have just spent money and looked at some records on ScotlandsPeople and discovered that my great great aunt Margaret (b 1834) Henderson had an illegimate son John b 23 Jan 1856. I was alerted to his existence by looking at the 1861 Tobermory census and he was with his grandparents John and Mary Henderson. I then looked at the Tobermory parish births and it says Margaret was a house servant and that the baby was born in her father's house and he was present. I don't know what happened to
8. Re: [Mull] Religion and Clans [1]
We cannot know the truth and unless we are historians we will never get close to it. I totally agree with your sentiment here but I would suggest that we cannot alter history and we have to accept all of it. Why should we want to alter history when it is the fascination of our searching? Where the ancestry that is the focus of this group is spread around the world, what justification is there for turning back the clock. That certainly wasn't my intention when I sought to inject interest into this li
9. Perplexed [1]
RE Isle of Mull/Perplexed/Clearances site On the website mentioned above concerning the 'clearances' I have noted errors concerning my own family, i.e. --McMillans/McLeans: In reference to people --Links...Stormont County, Ontario: My gtgtgt grandfather, Angus McMillan of Callich(1766-1841-tombstone MacMillan cem, Finch) never resided at Kilninian/Kilmore(nor did his daughter, Catharine) on the Isle of Mull, and, his son in law, Duncan Ban McMillan, was born in Glennevis in October 1783 It seems that
10. Clans & Religion [1]
I have been following this discussion with interest, and decided to add my bit. T. C. Smout's book 'A History of the Scottish People' 1560 - 1830, published 1969, Collins Publishing Group, Glasgow, in his chapter XIV, The Highlands, 1690 - 1830, has this to say: "There was also very wide differences in religion. Few parts of the highlands, except the heartlands of Clan Campbell in Argyll and Perthshire, enjoyed in the early eighteenth century the ministrations of a properly inducted Presbyterian mini
11. Clans & religion [1]
I wonder if someone can clarify my thought that certain Clans were known to be Roman Catholic, in particular the Clan Campbell. Is it so that one can identify the religion of our ancestors by the ancient Clan history? If this is true, were there any parting of the ways when, say a Campbell married out and into a Clan that was, say Kirk of Scotland, or Presbyterian? Do we have a historian who can enlighten please?

12. :Mull (Religion) [1]
Janet, That's the rub... the term 'legitimate Hanoverian government' is ultimately a political analysis which most Old Order Gaels did not accept. Only right of conquest implemented the rule of the Hanoverian regime. The matter is subjective not objective. For instance I know plenty of Gaels that still feel as though the Stewarts were the 'legitimate' ruling line. On both sides of the usige msr. My poor humble lot were already gone before 1745 so it is a moot point with my group. I do think it is in

14. Poor Law/Workhouse Administration. [1]
I think one or two of us have information that our ancestors were Poor Law Inspectors. I have been in touch with the Argyll & Bute Council, Archivists, and received this information today in confirmation of my enquiries, in addition to the information I had asked for. My ancestor who was a Poor Law Inspector was administered in Edinburgh. "Under the Poor Law (Scotland) Amendment Act 1845 every Parochial Board - the local authority for Poor Law purposes - was required to appoint an Inspector of Poor. The

Hi Dawn Thanks for reposting your Livingston family. It's been awhile since we chatted. Is your Jane Livingston 1807 who married William Vass living in Ardfienaig in 1851 with children Georgina, Donald, William, Alexander, John & Christina. Did they remain on Mull ? later Ida Dawn Livingstone wrote: > > I have a whole line of Livingston(e)/Campbell/MacKinnon connections., and will address this to the whole list, rather than just Janet, in case anyone else can use this information. > > Donald Livingst

We have had some problems accessing Scotland's People. It tells us we have 36 unused credits , but it also tells us they have expired. Can not access the data base unless we purchase more credits. Is there a time limit to the credits ? How long ? Thanks Tom McQuarrie
17. Re: [Mull] Clans & religion [1]
This discussion has sparked enough curiosity in me to ask a question. My ancestors list their religion as church of Scotland until they come to North America.About 1841 to 1844. It is here that they marry into catholic families. I hear that there was a lot of religious bias (too strong a word perhaps ) especially when the marriage was "mixed" If there were such strong convictions I am curious about how the mixed marriages occurred in the first place.Shear survival may be the answer. It appears that my

19. Religion and Clans [1]
We are getting many different comments and opinions on the horific problems that came about during the Battle of Culloden and the rivalary between different clanns. Many of us lost whole families on the Stewart side and many lost relations on the English side too. All of us will never agree on who should have been the legitimate ruler and I think most would agree that the Duke of Cumberland was excessive in his cruelity. Thank goodness we have all progressed since then and though it still is a conte

I have come across a pair of "hills" named the "Ulva Twins" Curious about where and what they are. They appear to be too large to actually be on Ulva. But I don't know that.If they aren't why would they be named that way ? Can any one help ? thanks Tom McQuarrie
22. Duncan McIntyre Dartmoor&Dunedin [1]
Graham, Just clearing out my drafts file and discovered this letter which I don't believe I sent to you. I'm very interested to know why Duncan McIntyre is in the plot in Dunedin with my Grandmother's family. He had only been a short time in NZ. Since my grandparents also went from Portland to Dunedin I wondered if Duncan had gone there also. Jean Graham, (a letter written 5 years ago!!!) Not sure if I have asked this before, but is there any chance that your Duncan McIntyre (md to Ann Lamont) went
23. McNeil [1]
Hi All I have struggled for years to make sense of what I strongly believe is a branch of my Campbell families, and wonder if anyone can help ? Catherine Campbell married a Peter McNeil 28 March 1837 ( IGI ) Kilninian & Kilmore the same marraige also appears as married Tobermory , which probably indicates this is the same couple. That is all the IGI has to offer in any way , though I am convinced that they had a daughter Catherine McNeil born ( according to 1851 census) 1840/41 Kilnfinichen, who was livi
24. McKiNNON m McLEAN [1]
Hi Listers I've just discovered the names of my 3 x great grandparents - Malcolm McKinnon (a seaman) and Mary McLean who I think married in Kilninian in 1791. They must've spent some time in Ardnamurchan though as their daughter Mary was born there sometime between 1798 - 1804. Daughter Mary's death record has given me this info. Jane in NZ
