Margaret Gordon (1809-1891) was one of 10 known siblings,  one of whom was my great great grandmother,  Janet Gordon (1804-1888).   Margaret died at Newtonmore on 14 October 1891,  age 82,  pauper,  unmarried,  father William Gordon,  shoemaker,  mother Jane MacKintosh,  registered by Jno Campbell,  Inspector of the Poor.   Isabella Eason appears to have been her daughter though Isabella's father and date and place of birth are not known;  there was a John Eason,  mason and builder,  born ca 1804 in Kingussie,  living there in 1851 who might possibly be Isabella's father as Eason is not a common name in these parts.   Isabella also appears to have had a son,  John Lamond,  another mason,  in Kingussie ca 1854.   Hope this is helpful.

Hi and welcome.   There were 9 children of Thomas McGiilivray and Margaret Noble who lived at Alnaha in the later part of their lives:  Isabella,  born 1860 in Moy;  Mary,  born 1861 in Moy;  Janet/Jessie,  born 1864 in Moy (my grandmother),  William,  born 1866 in Moy;  Alexander,  born 1868 in Moy;  Margaret, born 1871 in Cawdor;  Ann,  born 1873 in Cawdor;  Thomas,  born 1876 in Cawdor; Jean,  born 1879 in Cawdor.   If you could let me know how you fit in,  I have a lot of information on the family which I will be happy to let you have.

Best wishes.

My grandmother,  Jessie McGillivray, was the elder sister of your grandmother,  Margaret McGillivray who married John Wilson.   I know a lot about the McGillivrays if you are still interested.
