"Tonight I was advised by a researcher that Allan was born in Oct 1810 in Kinlochmoidart, Inverness, Scotland. I (am) surprised by this information as I have spent many years trying to find it."
Hello CWAY, we have met and exchanged documents. My wife is also a gggrandaughter of Allan, through Christina Mooney. She came with her parents and six siblings on the William Nicol in 1837. I can still name only four of Christina's siblings on board, and four born in NSW.
Our Allan died in 1876 at age 86 according to his daughter Flora Moy. That would mean he was born about 1790. Could the Allan born in 1810 be a son of your gggf? He married Ann at age 36 but was he married earlier?
I received two e-mails from Cyprus last night through MyHeritage. One linked me to this site. The other led me to a list of all immigrants to Australia from Inverness -- except those on the William Nicol
