On this lovely showery evening, hello :) :)
I am seeking help to find information pertaining to Peter (Mayor (?)) MacIntosh and Ronald McKenzie MacIntosh.
I believe Peter was born in Gourock in 1889 and Ronald in Glasgow in 1918.
I know only that they emigrated to South Australia. As yet I have not established when either of them arrived on our shores and/or whether they were married in Scotland or in South Australia.
Cheers
Elsie

hello there
are they father and son or brothers?
ther is a record on the NAA for Peter Mayor(mayo) MacIntosh that you may have seen but it shows him enlisting in the Naval Reserve in 1924 and then shows him dying in 1940
Ronald(died 29/8/1991 aged 73) is buried/cremated in Centennial Park in the same grave is Peter Mayor but it doesn't have a year for his death and has his age at 0
also in the same grave is Catherine aged 88 died 10/10/1976
and in the records for CEntennial Park is ANDREW MACKENZIE MACINTOCSH died 23/9/1989 aged 42

Hi
There are a number of MacIntosh names on the Government Gazette and Personal notices in the Advertiser index on the following site. Ronald's death in 1991 is listed in the Personal Notices in the Advertiser.
More info from the SAGHS.

Hello Jen and Cando! :)
Thank you both for your assistance.
Peter and Ronald are father and son, Jen. NAA site was fantastic. Cando I think I might contact SA library and see if I can obtain a transcript of the notices.
From the NAA I learnt that Ronald married Marjorii. I am uncertain whether her surname was Black or Grace. Grace could have been the middle name of course. Is there a death date available for her please?

Hi Elsie, my sister came across this thread today while she was doing some research on our father Ronald MacIntosh’s war records. I know this is over ten years old now, but I’m fascinated as to your research and as to what you have found on the MacIntosh family history, your interest in and connection to it and how I might be of any help to you? There’s a book on the Clan Mackintosh that might be of interest to you as well. Thank you, Alistair

Peter and Ronald MacIntosh are included in the Mackintosh Families of Australia website:
http://mackintosh.org.au/
They are in the Angus MacIntosh (b1796) and Mary MacLean Tree and the Adelaide2 Family in which there are 137 individuals listed.
There is also a Facebook Group associated with the website.

Hello Alistair73!
Thank you for your posting.
I have followed the link posted by Spike H (thanks Spike) ... Alistair, am I correct in my reading of the tree that you and your sister are SA descendents of Peter and Ronald with links back to Boreray, Scotland?
With a smile.

Hello Spike.
Further to your pointing me in the direction of the MacIntosh Families of Australia website .. our MacIntosh family connections are directly to Angus and Mary MacIntosh of North Uist.
I note that it is stated that only one of their descendants emigrated to Australia with other emigrees going to Canada. However, I know of two other direct links to Angus and Mary, as well as ours, with descendants emigrating to Australia.

Hi Elsie,
We may well have other descendants in the database without knowing of their connection to Angus and Mary. This could mean some existing Families could be linked into your Adelaide2 group. Any information you can provide would be most welcome.
I can message you my email, or you can contact Jay at the website or post the info here or in the Facebook Group - whatever is easiest for you.
Many thanks
Spike

Hi Elsie,
Yes that’s correct our father Ron married twice and we are from his second family. Ron had 4 sons to first wife Marjorie whose Maiden name was indeed Black. Dad married our mother Rosslyn in 1971.
I’d love to know more about what youve discovered about the MacIntosh family history and how you came to enqwuire about Peter and Ron?
Kind regards,
Alistair

Hi Alistair.
Well, we definitely have a family connection. Peter MacIntosh (1828-91) was first married to Catherine MacDonald(1828-1870) and they had seven children. After Catherine's death Peter remarried. He and Catherine Stewart (1842-) had three children - John, Catherine and Hector. My husband's grandfather was their son John, who was born in 1876.
There is much we can share and discuss Alistair. However, I think it might be now more appropriate to do so off site. I will try to send you a personal email with a contact address.
Warmest wishes.
Elsie
