I am interested in any and all McLures (any spelling) on Skye, and in particulaer, the Sleat area.  I have a large database of families, and tons of birth and marriage certificates for McLure's and collateral families in Sleat.

My main line is the descendants of Farquhar McLure and Christina McPherson, both born abt. 1747.
Their Son - Malcolm McLure married Ann Beaton or Bethune in 1801.

If your people are from Sleat, I just might have something on them in my pile of certificates.

Fingers crossed that we can make some connections

Hi Debbie,
I am amazed by how many people you have helped and I suspect you may be able to help me, I am a descendant of Neil MacGillivray and Janet Nicolson.  I really need to get access to some family books but am having lots of trouble finding them.  Happy to pay for any books you know of and can get access to, also happy to share info on my branches with any people who are interested.  Thank you for all the sharing you have already done.
Mary

Hi there,
My lot are all from the Sleat and Sasaig areas of Skye - family names of McGillivray, Matheson, Nicolson and Robertson.

I do have an Angus McGillivray who married a Mary McLure in about 1819,  and she then died sometime before 1825, when Angus remarried. They were living in Druiforn Sleat.

Does this ring any bells - would love any info you might have connecting with these families!!
Thanks then!

Hi Kylie,
I am a Sleat/Lower Breakish descendant of McGillivray, Nicolson, and Munro.  Am an Aussie and I think you have gone further back than me but suspect there is definitely a link.  Hope we can chat re this, my email is (*)

Have not worked out how to use this forum properly yet.  Grateful for any advice.

Mary
