Argyllshire / Re: Ballachulish
« on: Thursday 19 January 17 10:12 GMT (UK)  »
Hi there,

My Macinnes ancestors were slate quarriers in East Laroch. My great grandfather (1848 - 1907) was also the captain of the steamship "Cona" that sailed up and down Loch Leven. The family lived at Quarry Gates. My  great uncle (Sandy) was the local barber in Ballachulish. He died in 1959.
Some names:

Archibald Macinnes=Catherine Macdonald
Peter Macinnes
Alexander
Donald
John
Mary

The family originally came from Appin, I would like to think that this Archibald was related to the Archibald Macinnes who took Red Colin Campbell across Loch Leven to his death at Lettermore (but this is perhaps a bit fanciful...)

Leitrim / Re: Glancy and O'Brien, Leitrim to Glasgow
« on: Thursday 06 January 11 10:14 GMT (UK)  »
I am very interested in any connection between myself and the O'Briens / Glancys. Wonder if anyone could help me find the ancestors of my grandmother, Annie Glancy, who came to Glasgow from Ireland at the tender age of 1 year, and was adopted by Robert Mackay and Catherine Macinnes, Clyde St. ? She appears in 1891 Census as "Annie Glancy", but parents changed her name to "Mackay". Don't know if she was related to any of the above.
