Inverness / Petty/Ardersier Death/Burial Records
« on: Sunday 10 October 21 16:18 BST (UK)  »
Does anyone know why there are few death/burial records for Petty & none for Ardersier on SP pre 1855?
Does it mean burials didn't occur there at that date or that the records haven't survived?

Inverness / Re: James Cameron of Fort George, Ardersier

On the 1871 West Ham census "Maria" is Marian, she died in 1886 in Broomhill Home, Kirkintilloch, Dunbartonshire.
In 1881 mother Anne Cameron (nee Ewing) is back in Glasgow with the Graham family (this is her stepfather & mother), no sign of Marion or James. In 1891 mother Anne Cameron has remarried & is living with her new husband Henry Hope in Glasgow (no idea what happened to first husband Hugh Cameron).
James is also living with them there (Mechanical Engineer) described as a Boarder. I believe James may have been abroad in 1901 with the army.
I did buy Catherine's cert (Govan, 1910) from Scotland's People, turns out to be incorrect (this one's father was James, a shipwright & mother Sarah) so I haven't tried the entry for Mary.

The possible 1911 census entry (West Scotland St, Govan) shows this James Cameron was born in England, he is the right age. It says he was married in 1905. His brother in law is listed living with them, his name looks like Lawrence Early. I cannot find a possible marriage fitting these facts.
James & Margaret's daughters were Mary b.1909 & Catherine 1910 both Lanarkshire. I can't find births/baptisms for these girls.
James' occupation was a fireman, locomotive.

Inverness / James Cameron of Fort George, Ardersier
« on: Friday 01 October 21 13:03 BST (UK)  »
Trying to track down what happened to James Cameron, b.1871. He was a soldier at Fort George 1894-1906 with the Cameron Highlanders.
He was born in West Ham, London in 1871 to Hugh Cameron & Ann (nee Ewing). I can't track down what became of him after 1906, whether he married or had issue, or perhaps emigrated.
On the 1911 census in Glasgow is a James Cameron & wife Margaret (nee Early??) with two daughters but I can find no marriage for this James or birth for his daughters.

Inverness / Cameron/McKeddie
« on: Friday 01 October 21 12:57 BST (UK)  »
Is anyone able to tell me where the McKeddie alias in the Cameron family comes from? I believe it occurs in various Cameron families.
I am interested in the family of Donald Cameron, alias McKeddie who married Margaret Robertson in 1810 at Ardersier. The marriage is also listed in Auldearn parish, Nairnshire (the bride's parish) but Donald is just listed as Donald McKeddie (no mention of Cameron).

Warwickshire Lookup Requests / Re: 1841 - Birmingham Lookup James Sanders

Hi Mark, just found your message. Did you get any further with this Sanders family: James & Elizabeth? I believe they may be my direct ancestors & I think I know a little more about them which I'm happy to share.
Julie.

Wigtownshire / Re: PM me for MI's Kirkcolm Old Parish Churchyard

Hi Johnner & Terry,
Thanks for checking Kirkcolm for me Terry, I don't think Elizabeth is mine though she was certainly there at the same time.
Johnner, this one is definately mine although it seems I've got Alexander's wives slightly confused! Do you think the stone would still exist in Stranraer as I'm thinking of making the trek to see the area? I'm slightly confused though as to why Alexander, despite living in Kirkcolm chose to be buried at Stranraer, any thoughts? Would it be to do with the denomination of the church? I'm wondering if it would be worth checking the parish registers of this church if they exist for more details of his family.
Thanks again.

Hi Terry,
Is it possible for you to do a look up in Kirkcolm for me for any Craigs?
I believe there was an Alexander Craig who died in 1871 who left a will so I'm guessing he would have had a memorial. There were also a few children who died young. His wife was Jane/Janet Kerr who also died before him. Any info very gratefully received.
Thanks.
