Title: Hepburns of Corpach, Kilmallie, Fort William, Argyllshire, Inverness-shire!
Post by: nzhepburn on Wednesday 29 April 09 12:24 BST (UK)
Is there anyone with interests in the Hepburn family from Corpach, Kilmallie, Argyllshire?

James Hepburn was born around 1775 and married Anne McMullen around 1798. Haven't been able to pinpoint their marriage, or deaths, presumably in the same area.

Their children were: James b. 1799, d. 1876, Alexander b. 1803, William b. 1806, Margaret b. 1810, Duncan b. 1811.
There may have been others - Christian, Mary.

Alexander and Duncan went to NZ in 1839, Margaret to Australia. William married Flora and was living in the area at the time of the 1841  census.

The family was originally from Dunbar in East Lothian, not sure when they went west.

Regards,
Maggie, NZ

Do you know if the son William had a daughter Margaret born around 1826 and married Sir David Deas in 1860?

William did have a daughter Margaret, but she was born in 1839. Good luck in your search!

Hello Maggie, I'm related to James Hepburn Snr through his son James Jr B1799 M Ann McMillian if you would like to PM me I have Certs for many of this Hepburn line.  The family believe we may have ended up on the west coast after the battle of Culloden and rather than risk arrest on returning to the East stayed in Argyll. Cheers Merideth

Hi Merideth,
Thanks for that. The Battle of Culloden sounds a likely cause for their shift. Do you have any information on the parents of James Hepburn snr, circa 1775, married to Ann McMillan/McMullan?

I'm wondering of there are any Hepburn relatives still in Scotland - or did they all end up in the colonies after the 1830-50s?

I had thought William, son of James snr stayed, but apparently he emigrated too.

Cheers, Maggie

Hi,
My great, great grandmother was Ellen Hepburn (Jackson) & my great grandmother Ellen Hooper (Hepburn). Your posts are fairly old, but thought I'd try and make contact anyway.

Regards
Anne

Margaret the daughter of Ann McMillan and James Hepburn married Allan Cameron and arrived in Australia with daughter Mary (3) on the "Coromandel" in 1838. I know that there is a Hepburn connection into the family in New Zealand, hope to hear from any research you may have attempted.

I know that this is a very late response and that Maggie and I had made contact re Hepburn research in the past, but could I ask how you confirmed the details of James Hepburn Snr father of my GGGG Grandmother Margaret Hepburn, and whether you were able to find details of his father.
