Worcestershire Lookup Requests / Re: Lookup Request Oldbury 1841 Census WHITTAKER

Thanks so much Kay! William's mother is a Sarah, so I am pretty confident this is them! The ages are about right, especially as I believe the ages were rounded up or down in the 1841 census. Also, they were not born in the county.

Many thanks again!

Hi

My great grandfather, Donald CAMERON was born at the South Ballachulish Inn 29 May 1822 (ha that's exactly 191 years ago today!) to Angus CAMERON and Christina MCINTYRE. Angus and Christina are buried on Eilean Munde. Angus was the Ferrymaster and Innkeeper at the time.

Donald came to Australia about 1850, and his sister Clementina came several years later.

I am interested in any information anyone can give me, particularly if any of the South Ballachulish Hotel was standing at that time? I know there is a small stone building on the left side of it that I am hoping was there back then. I contacted the hotel, but they were quite unhelpful at the time.

I do know Christina's ancestry, but am at a loss to find Angus'.

Many thanks in advance for any information!

Worcestershire Lookup Requests / Lookup Request Oldbury 1841 Census WHITTAKER

Hi

Could someone please look up the Oldbury 1841 Census for me please? I am looking for William Whittaker (aged about 13?) who was apprenticed to Mr. Lowe, a printer. I am hoping he was in Oldbury at the time of the census.

Many thanks!

Hi Sheden

How far back do the old school records go? My great Grandfather, Donald Cameron (son of Angus Cameron and Christina McIntyre) was born in Ballachulish 29/5/1822. He also had sisters Clementina, Sarah (ca1826), Margaret (ca1828), Joanna (ca 1829) and Kitty (1831), and perhaps a brother Hugh between Margaret and Joanna. Father Angus was the Ferry Master and Inn Keeper at South Ballachulish Ferry around the time of Donald's birth. Later they were at Salachuil and Inchree, so not sure how often they lived in Ballachulish. Angus Cameron and Christina McIntyre are buried on Eileen Munde.

I visited Ballachulish briefly last October but was disappointed that I couldn't get over to the Island. :( I also tried to find out which part of the Ballachulish Hotel would have been the Inn in 1822, but didn't have any luck. Not sure if you can help with that at all?

Any information you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks and all the best,
Cathy from Australia
