Hi Watten Gunns

You now need to look at

http://clangunn1.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/watten-gunns-john-gunn-crowner-gunns.html 

as it has a lot of Gunn Watten genealogy on it

as I am now uploading all the Thomas Sinclair  Clan Gunn History Supplements to go with my earlier 1868 and 1870 trees (No-one else has put such information up, what do Clan Gunn Societies do?)

My aim is to put lots of Gunn information onto the net which has not been seen before, so people can actually link into  main Clan Gunn lines, not least to help find the real Clan Gunn Chief, before a random person is chosen. I've already found 'Chief' George Gunn of Rhives descendants seehttp://clangunn1.blogspot.co.uk/search?q=rhives in the USA

The idea that no-one can prove links to the old Clan Gunn Chiefs is really silly and this Rhives line is just another example...

That's an interesting one; I cant confirm that they didn't have one at that time, as later census do not provide that support. In many ways the above lot should have had a William. And William Hughes the platelayer is correct; and this lot are family.

Perhaps the answer would be if you can put in some of the story post 1891 as we can then check against our data. For example, do 11 Penros and 9 Hendrewan Road mean anything to you...

Shame it was the wrong one for you, because it's the right one for me if any relatives ever read this!! William and Elizabeth are my GG grandparents and I was just getting excited.,..

Hi All,

 I'm actually just writing up the Gunns of Achanaichan /  Achaneccan so I'm pleased to get the information.  May I suggest you  firstly enter 'Robert Gunn of Achaneccan' on the computer and read lots in the Sage book  'Memorabilia Domestica' which will turn up? I am assuming we are all the same as the Sage book points out 'Achaneccan' is only a farm.

I am am painfully working through an 1868 Family tree of the various Chief lines of the Clan Gunn; the Achanaichan line is 'William in Achanaichan the 2nd son of Donald the Scholar'. Donald 'the Scholar' Gunn is second son of 'William beag / bheg'  whose older brother was 'William mhor' Chief of the Clan Gunn. I should be be able to write up this line in a couple of days, especially given the new information.

However I have now got a blog for my sins. May I suggest you look at http://clangunn1.blogspot.co.uk/ ? The current entry concerns Donald the Scholar's first son (yours is the second, as I have said) and then you can wander down the other other Chief lines as you go down the blog. Note the 1868 family tree I am using... 

It would be sensible to read up about the contentious Clan Gunn Family Convention / Chief issues there as well, as it relates to you if you can prove things...

Cheers
Alastair (not on that line, sorry- a much more obscure one...)

Excellent. I have Isaac Padgett born 1867 Mount Cole, died 30 September 1937 Braemore Werribee Vic; he married Barbara Gunn.

This looks very promising.
