Jeni - In my family notes I have Agnes MUNRO (nee FRASER) born Achlyness,
Kinlochbervie 29.04.1878. Her mother was a McKenzie and Hugh Ross a
cousin. Kristy Ross was Hugh Ross's sister and also lived Achlyness until
the late 1970's.

Agnes Fraser married George Munro and they emigrated to New Zealand in 1910.

Agnes Fraser was the cousin of Hugh ROSS who lived in Lawrence, New Zealand
and then Lake Hayes, near Queenstown, New Zealand. Other cousins were
Alexander McKenzie and Hugh McKenzie of Walter Peak, near Queenstown, New
Zealand. Another cousin Sandy Fraser came to Dunedin.

Agnes Munro was my husbands grandmother and she lived in Dunedin, New
Zealand

Would this be any connection to your family?

Regards Zelda Matheson, Dunedin, New Zealand

> I am researching the family of Hugh Ross and Margaret Fraser. Hugh was
born about 1803 in Lairg, Sutherland to Donald Ross and Janet MacKay. Hugh
died on 22 June 1867 in Shinness, Sutherland. His wife, Margaret Fraser was
born in 1809 in Scotland, not sure where, or who her parents were, and she
died on 05 June 1880, again in Scotland, again no info as to where.
>
> Hugh and Margaret had the following children: Donald, b. 10 April 1832;
George, b. abt. 04 February 1835; Charles, b. abt 18 October 1837; John, b.
abt 04 June 1840; Hugh, b. 23 February 1842; Andrew, b. 1847; William, b.
abt 1852; Barbra, b. date unknown and Jessie also date unknown.
>
> John, Hugh, Andrew and William emigrated to New Zealand where they worked
on South Island sheep stations. I have information to the present day
regarding some of these people. Hugh Ross was my great grandfather.
>
> I would appreciate any information regarding the early Ross family,
Margaret's parentage, something about Donald and Janet and where they came
from, their parents etc, etc. Also any info on those children who did not
come to New Zealand, Donald, George, Charles, Barbra and Jessie.
