Looking for any information on the parents of James McIntosh, born 27 August 1818 in Urquhart, Inverness, Scotland.
All I know is their names were Donald Slater McIntosh and Isabella McLean.
James married a Catherine McPherson on 20 January 1847 in Alvey, Inverness, Scotland. They had three children, Donald, Jessie and Elizabeth in Alvey, Inverness, Scotland, and then moved to Australia sometime between 1852 and 1854.
Any assistance would be a great help.
Regards,

Hi
I dont know the parents but I have started a project to examine the relationships between Glenurquhart McIntoshs (any spellings). There were no more thana dozen McIntosh families in the Glen in 1700s. I am offering to pay for a 37 marker 'y' chromosome, DNA test through FamilyTreeDNA for direct descendents of Glenurquhart McIntoshs. If you are interested in more information or know someone who is, please contact me on *
You may learn more about Donald's family through linkages to other families.
Regards
John Mc

Hi, that's a branch of my family. If you go to the page below you can see my tree from Donald Macintosh's entry. I did not have anything on James's family so your information is very interesting. I also have it on Ancestry and GenesReunited.

I have a hard copy of a tree done by a relation in Australia of Australian MacIntosh's and I have put most of it on my tree.
A couple of things - Donald's middle name was actually his occupation not his name! There are a few of them that are recorded as slaters. Also I have his wife as Isabel McEwan.
I am decended from Alexander Macintosh, Donald's brother
Bunloit is small homestead area on the hills on the Northside of Loch Ness above Urquhart Castle.

Hi!
I am looking for information on a Catherine McIntosh born about 1850 Catherine married William Chartres at Glenurquart Inverness-shire we think 15 May 1879. They all emigrated to New Zealand after marriage. These are my great grandparents. Also their headstone reads William McIntosh who died 1899 aged 65 years. Can you help? Thanking you in advance - Sue Chartres New Zealand

There is a Catherine McIntosh born 1852, daughter of William McIntosh, Balby of Bunloit Bridge, Glenurquhart, and Jane Campbell. If you look at the family tree of Big Toshie above in this thread you may find them there. Regards John

Thank you very much!!! Sue

I don't think William McIntosh and Jane Campbell are in Big Toshie's family tree. You may have to look for a marriage of William and Jane Campbell and work back.

Yes thinking you're right - thankyou...Sue

I am interested to see if anyone is still following this post?

Wildcats13 does not seem to have had his question answered.
There are 5 births in Urquhart & Glenmoriston to Donald MacIntosh & Isobel Mac Even (Owen) on Scotlands People.
William 1812, Alexander & Mary (Twins) 1814, John 1816 & James, 27/08/1818.
There are 2 births in Moy & Dalarossie to Donald MacIntosh & Isobel Mc Ewan.
Donald 1815 & Margaret 1817
There are 2 births in Croy & Dalcross to Donald McIntosh & Isobel McEwen.
Ewen 1822 & Duncan George 1825
No marriage of Donald on Scotlands People
-
My best bets would be
Isobel McEwen birth in 1786, Petty, daughter of Alexander & Margaret Allan.
Donald McIntosh birth 1783, Inverness, son of William & Mary Clark
This is purely based on names given to their children.
I would think that they were probably married around 1811.
Needs further investigation

I wonder if all those births at different locations are consistent with the same family ie was Donald described as a Slater in each location. Of course he could have worked at any occupation from time to time. Another matter is regarding the DNA study. Big Toshie and I both had ancestors from Glenurquhart and the yDNA study showed our families were related but further back than our family trees reached, and there were 2 other testers from the glen who matched us. Another group of 3 were from a different Mackintosh/McIntosh DNA family. If there was a male McIntosh descendant of the family in question they could at least test their yDNA and find which family from the glen they matched.
