Inverness / Re: Where are all the McKinnon's?
« on: Sunday 06 March 11 17:39 GMT (UK) »
Hi
Have just spent a long time tracing back the McKinnon / Mackinnon line in my family.
Donald b. about 1780 and Catherine (Livingstone) b. about 1785 lived in Inverness shire / Lanarkshire. They had 13 children, Neil b. about 1801, Margaret, Charles b. August 1804, Ann, Flora b. 1806, Donald, Mary, Hector b. 6 June 1814, Janet b. 18 January 1817, Catherine b. 12 September 1819, John b. 15 December 1807 Duncan and Nancy). Catherine and Donald are recorded as having died in Canada.
Their 6th son, John left Scotland for London.
John married Susanna Charlotte Sheldrake Curtis b. 1808 on 20th May 1830 at St Martins in the Field, Westminster, London.
John and Susanna had 5 children, 4 girls and a boy, William b. 1842. Girls were Margaret b. 1839, Emma b. 1841, Marian b. 1855 and Susannah b. 1849. They lived in the Islington / Clerkenwell area of London throughout their lives. John died in 1870. Susanna died in April 1890.
William married Charlotte Smith on 27 September 1868 in Islington, London, and they had eight children. William James b. 1870, Charles b. 1872, Charlotte b. 1874, Rose b. 1876, Arthur b. 1879, Amy b. 1880, Florence b. 1882 and May / Mary b. 1885. Census information for 1881 suggests they were all living at 22, Goswell Street, London. It also suggests that William's mother Susanna lived with them, as did Susanna's older sister Mary Ann Curtis b. 1796. Mary Ann seems to have lived well into her 80's.
William James married Rose Alice Bedford and they had three sons that I could find. William Herbert b. 1897, Ernest Charles b. 1898 and Albert Arthur b. 30.12.1899. Ernest is recorded as serving in the Great war, though survived and died in Merseyside, England in 1996 aged 98 years.
Albert Arthur was my maternal grandfather. He married Jane Ann Edmond in 1937 and died in 1972. Jane died in 2002.
Albert Arthur had two children, Albert b. 1936 and Anne b.1940. Anne is my mother.
Albert emigrated to America in the 1960's and is now retied and I believe living in New York. He had no children.
Anne married Percy Thomas Willson Smith and had four children, Anthony, David, Sarah (me) and Georgina. I have one son, James.
So, if you are a direct descendent of Donald and Catherine McKinnon who emigrated to Canada, then I guess we are related !!
Other bits I picked up are that for some reason McKinnon became Mackinnon after John moved to London.
William James' occupation is noted as 'stereotyper (journeyman)' which apparently means he was a printer and on the lowest level of membership at the printers guild.
One of the census also notes that William James had a servant.
Most of William James' children appear to have married.
Arthur married Frances Caroline Denerley on 16.01.1904
Amy married Herbert Charles Green on 14.07.1907
Rose married John Samuel Hardwidge on 18.05.1901
Florence married Arthur Andrew Bolt on 22.08.1908
William James married Rose Alice Bedford
Would love to hear what happened to the McKinnons' who went to Canada.
