All sounds correct. I am the last  son of sam and lorna ross, and sams dad was donald, son of john jnr. We know Ian and have his huge chart from some years ago. Will check out the facebook. Exciting stuff. Gordon.

Inverness / Ross family Balmaqueen help
« on: Tuesday 11 January 11 04:38 GMT (UK)  »
Hi anyone?
I'm trying to find out more info on John Ross (b about 1771?) and wife Margaret McDonald(1786) and possible Johns parents? Probably crofters at balmaqueen/Balmaquien?
1841 census I think Margaret 55 and John 70? Big age difference if this is them. Son John(1827) sailed to Australia with wife Flora Nicholson in 1853 but have all their family tree. Trying to go back to John (1771) parents and location/info.
It would be nice to find the plot where John (my GG Grandfather)and margaret lived @ Balmaqueen to visit one day. Any help appreciated.

Fantastic - Balmaqueen is correct.
Alexander and his son died before reaching Sydney leaving Flora with 3 children (3 daughters and 4yo Donald). She went to the Hunter Valley River district with youngest Margeret, joined Donald who worked on McKays cattle station at Cooplacurripa..
Margaret married Neil, son of Archibald and Christina McQueen. Settled in lower Clarence where Margarets mum Flora joined them.

My John and Flora were in touch with their Clarence/Barrington relatives.

During WW1 grandsons of John Ross and Archibald McQueen looked up their relatives at Skye. Lindsay Ross took some photos.
There was a reunion of the Alex Ross family held at Gloucester (near Barrington) in July 1991

You probably know most of this stuff

 ;D

They are my Great Grandparents! I have a full list of every one of their decendants!
? Flora pregnant on trip over on NZ'er? Child died at sea? Eventually settled out of Watchem and son Donald (my grandfather) ran the farm at Sammy's Lake/Massey near Watchem. All buried at Watchem cemetary.
More info if you need it. I am interested in John's parents. Think Floras father was the blacky at Duntulm
