Hi, I am also looking for a Munro from Inveraray, His name is Duncan Munro born abt 1848 to Charles Munro and Catherine Campbell. He married a Sarah McQuater in 1874 in Govan Scotland. He had 6 brothers and sisters, Catherine,James,Mary,Donald,Isabella and Another Catherine, not too sure about that one! I have some info on Isabella but not the others. Would appreciate hearing from anyone in regards to him. Thank you. Carol M.

Hi Carol
We were in touch a few years back. My Munro's were from Boyndie,Banffshire then John moved to Inverurie, Aberdeenshire. John Munro married Jessie Davidson in 1852 Inverurie. Some of their children moved to the Glasgow area. I have a few more details about some of the siblings of my grgrandfather Alexander Sutherland Munro, but have not come across any Donalds or Duncan Munro's.
Cheers

Hello
I would be very interested in any information regarding MAC/McTavish and Cambells in your area. The Mac/McTavish family I am looking for lived on Mull. Rev. Archibald MacTavish married Jean Campbell Cruachan 1742 and was a minister on Mull for abt. 40 years. I have information that my Campbells came from Inverawe. Grateful for any suggestions as I am hitting a VERY SOLID brick wall with the MacTavish side of the family. In advance, many thanks.
Regards
Kirsten McTavish

Hello
I am looking for information about Archibald MacTavish who married Jean Campbell (Inverawe) 1742 at Cruachan, Argyllshire. He was a minister on Mull for abt. 40 years, but I don't know where he was born or who his parents were. Would be grateful for any help/suggestions as I have hit a VERY SOLID brick wall with the MacTavish side of the family. In advance, many thanks.
Regards

Hello Kirsten, Sorry I am unable to help you in the search for information on McTavish. As I have just started that area of my research too and have found nothing other than the marriage of Mary McTavish to James Munro in 1789. And as for Campbell's I am looking for two actually on both sides of my family tree, one is a Catherine Campbell who married Charles Munro in 1835 and the other is a Elizabeth Campbell who married a Archibald Ferguson in 1816.
Hope someone out there can help you, I know what it is like to hit a brick wall in this family research , it can be very frustrating to say the least.Sorry I couldn't help. Good luck to you. Missy.

Hi... I havn't been able to get any info on Margaret McKenzie b abt 1796 and married to George Davidson.. In the 1841 census they were living on Affleck St Old Machar,Aberdeen… As for there daughter Janet/Jessie Davidson she married John Munro in 1852 Inverurie, they did have a daughter Janet but died very young.. I have found most info on John and Jessie/Janet Davidson other children but at a complete blank for there oldest daughter Jane b 1852 Inverurie....
Sorry couldn't have been of more help
Stay safe

Inverurie's biggest employer was the locomotive works, there was a drift of their workers to Glasgow's Springburn which was the centre of railway works in Scotland.
