Hi there
IGI shows extracted birth/christening record for William Kinghorn, b. 18 Apr 1813/ch 02 May 1813 @ Sleat, Inverness to Abraham Kinghorn and Margt McNab. No other children showing to the couple on IGI.
in 1851, William is a soldier, stationed at Edinburgh Castle. Private, age 41yrs, born Slate (sic) Invernessshire.
No sign of him in 1841/1861 so far, but he may have been abroad with his regiment.
Regards
Ellen.

thank you, william's birthdate is right as well, there were other children as well,
james, ann, betsey or elizabeth, could never work out whether william stayed behind or what happened to him, or his father abraham, because they never came out to australia. thanks for information

I cannot believe it! Have just signed up and the first link I find this reference to Kinghorn.
There is a reference to Anne who married Roderick McLean - I am a descendant of theirs, on my father's side, wow. However, I thought it was spelt Ann??
If anyone wants a bit more info on Ann & Roderick, I can help.
