Perthshire / Re: Help with Campbell's from Perthshire Scotland

Would you like to re-check your data as we are not finding these baptisms.

The only one for Archibald Campbell dated 15th June 1773 appears to be in Muckairn (Argyll and Bute)

No idea, but here is our data from Drumnanagnach, at the top of Glengirnaig, which may help.

John Campbell 6,7   Anne McDonald   Moulin parish   William   23 Jul 1756 Moulin OPR
John Campbell   Ann McDonald   Drumnanagnach   Christian   17 May 1764
John Campbell   Ann McDonald   Drumnanagnach   Duncan   6 Feb 1772

6 John Campbell and Ann McDonald, married 7 Aug 1755 (Moulin OPR).
7 John Campbell's brother was Duncan Campbell in Loin Conlach, and they shared Drumnangnach with Duncan using one-third.

They used to say that Shinigaig was remote, well this one was just a bit further!

Canada / Re: Rannoch Robertsons to Pictou, N.S. 1801
« on: Monday 21 July 25 20:22 BST (UK)  »
While digging around for the Invervack Robertsons, we seem to have drifted off, back to the 'Sarah' passenger list of 1801.

Having looked at the list again, we are fairly certain that all of these Robertsons 'from Rannoch' are from Blair Atholl parish (as some of the monument inscriptions relate), but in particular they seem to be linked to the Bohespic area of the parish.

We have spoken about Donald Robertson (Over Bohespic) and Janet Campbell (Nether Bohespic), also James Robertson (Over Bohespic) and Cirsty McGilliwie/Lamont (Gaskan of Bohespic).  Here are observationa on some of the others.

a) John Robertson, tenant; Janet Robertson, spinster

John Robertson in Gaskan of Bohespic married Janet Robertson in Gaskan of Bohespic, 11th November 1780 (Blair Atholl OPR) but no children are recorded as baptised in the Blair Atholl OPR.

b) Alexander Robertson, labourer; Elizabeth Robertson, spinster; Donald Robertson (13); Janet Robertson (11); Duncan Robertson (5)

Alexander Robertson in Over Bohespic married Cicel Calmanach (alias Dow) in Achinruie of Glenerrochty, 19th December 1787 (Blair Atholl OPR).

Neither Donald nor Janet had their baptisms recorded in the Blair Atholl OPR and we believe that Cecil Calmanach died after the birth of Janet in 1790.

Alexander Robertson in Over Bohespic married Elspeth Robertson in Nether Bohespic, 31st December 1793 (Blair Atholl OPR)

Their son Donald was baptised 4th September 1796 (Blair Atholl OPR) and we think that this is 5-year old 'Duncan' in the passenger list

That just leaves two entries:  James Robertson, labourer;  and Donald Smith, tenant; Smith, his wife, spinster.  There are no people with the surname of 'Smith' in the parish - it would have been 'Gow' or possibly 'McGlashan' but, as all of the other families were Robertsons, our gut feeling is that this was Donald Robertson, the blacksmith, and his wife.

Perthshire / Re: Robertson of Riemore

If you go to James Stobie's map of Perthshire 1783

https://maps.nls.uk/view/74400314

You will see that there is a settlement north of Balnabigan and south of Guay and Balintuime.

It is called 'Lead', so we think that your 'inlaitt' is meant to be 'in Lead'

Midlothian / McGlashan families
« on: Saturday 21 June 25 09:23 BST (UK)  »
We are looking for family connections concerning James McGlashan, chairmaster in Edinburgh, in the 1740s onwards. We have documented proof that he originated from Invervack in Blair Atholl parish, the son of James McGlashan (MacGlashan / Mackglashan etc)

His first wife was Agnes Williamson, daughter of William Williamson, upholsterer in South Leith.

Second wife was Elizabeth Wat or Watt, daughter to William Wat, turner in Dalkeith, later in the Canongate parish.

There are several children from each marriage, some with uncommon forenames such as Dick and Moore (male). Some of the baptisms are not obvious on ScotlandsPeople as the Edinburgh OPR has incorrect forename for James McGlashan.

There also is a John McGlashan, merchant in Edinburgh, who seems to have been a relative.

Perthshire / Atholl Brigade '45 Jacobite Rising
« on: Monday 17 March 25 21:53 GMT (UK)  »
Is anyone claiming descent from either Donald Stewart of Dalvorest or Patrick Stewart of Easter Invervack?

In the book 'No Quarter Given' - The muster roll of Prince Charles Edward Stuart's army, 1745-46, David Stewart of Balvorest is listed as a captain in the Atholl Brigade.  This should be Capt. Donald Stewart of Dalvorest (Slochd Dail Mhoraisd in Glentilt). The exhibition centre at Culloden was displaying 'the white knife of Dail Mhoraisd' at one time. He was married to Beatrice / Beatrix / Beattie / Betty Stewart. Children seem to include Janet, Beatrix, Grissel and Marjory.

In the same book Patrick Stewart of Easter Invervack is listed as a captain in the Atholl Brigade, He was taken prisoner and was pardoned on condition that he enlisted in the Hanovarian army.  It is uncertain whether he married or had any children.

Canada / Re: Robert Stewart and Isabel McGlashan in Lochaber N.S.
« on: Saturday 16 March 24 22:21 GMT (UK)  »
Looking over all of the available material concerning Allan Stewart and Susan Stewart, we are fairly convinced that Susan Stewart was the eldest daughter of Robert Stewart and Isabel McGlashan as it would fit with what we know of the rest of that family.

Allan Stewart has been researched by the descendants but we have some reservations.  As there are so few Allan Stewarts (in the whole of Scotland) born around 1813, it is quite likely that Susan's husband was the son of Donald Stewart and Elizabeth Cumming as recorded by the descendants. The family were living in Rannoch at Innerhaddon, so the two families came from the same area and there was a baptist mission in that area.

However, as Familysearch/Trees/Pedigrees warns, her parents could not have been Allan Cumming and Christian McFarlane - she would have been too young. 

We would suggest that she was the daughter of Alexander Cumming and Mary Menzies in Torrachruie, born/baptised Fortingall 12th October 1783, the eldest of eight children.

Allan had an older brother, Duncan, b 16th February 1811 and about whom we know nothing.  Did he emigrate with Allan?

You need to provide as much information as possible if you are wanting people to help -

Where was Donald Stewart born?
Where did he die?
Is there a headstone or an obituary?
Where and when did he get married?
Are you giving 'MacHardy' as a middle name or as a maiden name?
Are there registered birth / deaths of children?
