Argyllshire / Re: Campbell of Inverliver

Hi Mat,

Tried to send you my e-mail address but deleted by Rootschat moderator, which shows how serious they are about protecting posters details.
The moderator says if you do two more posts we will be able to do private messaging in which we will be able to swap e-mail addresses.

Are you still in New Zealand?  I live in Palmerston North. I run a Scottish clan genealogy website which is why the interest in where Moses fits into the Campbell line.

Sadly no information was forthcoming as a result of my Rootschat post and I am still trying to find which Campbell family my John & son Capt. Moses fit into.

A link to the Campbell of Barcaldine post you referred to would be helpful.

Regards
Clanman

Lanarkshire / Re: Kabul to Kandahar Veteran - Thomas MacFarlane
« on: Wednesday 04 February 15 23:57 GMT (UK)  »
The following obit of a fellow Kabul to Kandahar veteren may help identify Thomas's medals as seen in his Ancestry tree photos.
"KABUL-TO-KANDAHAR VETERAN DIES
Mr. Thomas Hanley, who died suddenly at the home of his daughter, Mrs. T. E. Coombe, of Rundle street, Kent Town, yesterday, aged 81, was a member of Lord Roberts's bodyguard on the famous march from Kabul to Kandahar during the Afghan war.
Mr. Hanley joined the Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders as a young man. In 1874 he went to India, and in 1876 transferred to the Gordon Highlanders. With that regiment he went through the Afghan war of 1878-79. Later, his regiment was engaged in the first Boer war.
He received the Imperial Service Medal. Among other awards he gained were the Afghan Medal with three clasps, as well as the Bronze Star for the march to the Queen's Medal for the second Boer war with four clasps; and the King's Medal for Long Service and Good Conduct."

In September 1879 he was despatched, along with Maurice Abraham Cohen an expert in the Urdu language, to Kabul to seek retribution for the death of Sir Louis Cavagnari, the British envoy there. He was also given the local rank of lieutenant-general on 11 November 1879. After completing his mission to occupy Kabul, he was appointed commander of the Kabul and Kandahar field force and led his 10,000 troops across 300 miles of rough terrain in Afghanistan to relieve Kandahar and defeat Ayub Khan at the Battle of Kandahar on 1 September 1880.

Heraldry Crests and Coats of Arms / Scottish/English family arms ID please
« on: Thursday 30 August 12 02:59 BST (UK)  »
Found the following arms on a building at the Roman Camp Hotel in Callander, Perthshire, Scotland. It is not the original building built 1600's as hunting lodge for the Duke of Drummond and where my ancestors are shown as occupants in the 1694 Hearth Tax returns.
In 1897, the property was acquired by Reginald Brett, 2nd Viscount Esher, GCB, GCVO (1852-1930). He did extensive remodelling, of which the most obvious additions were the towers on the North and East sides, one of which contains a tiny stone Chapel, but Lord Esher also added the Library, the
Drawing Room and the guesthouse.
I think the arms come from the guesthouse, so if possible could a forum member confirm them as those of the Viscount Esher.

Heraldry Crests and Coats of Arms / Scottish arms - MacGeorge??
« on: Thursday 30 August 12 02:00 BST (UK)  »
I run a Scottish genealogy website and have received a message from a contact wondering if I could identify the arms on the gravestone in St Mungo's cemetery in Penicuik belonging to William Mcgeorge, minister of St Kentigerns (1695-1746). He thought they were were similar to those of MacFarlane, (my family of interest) which as heirs male of the House of Lennox their arms incoporate the Lennox wavy saltire with four roses crest shield.
From the photo my contact was able to provide I don't think are those of Lennox. The MacGeorge arms I found on line bear no resemblance to what is shown and another source says they are a sept of Clan Buchanan and their arms would therefore be those of Clan Buchanan, whose crest and arms are described thus; Arms:  Or, a lion rampant Sable, armed and langued Gules, within a double tressure flory counterflory of the Second.
Crest:  A dexter hand holding up a ducal cap (Proper), tufted on the top with a rose Gules, within two laurel branches in orle (also Proper).
Supporters:  Two falcons, Proper, armed Argent, jessed and belled Gules.
Badge:  A hand holding a tasselled cap.
Could anyone on this forum perhaps make a stab at the family the arms belong to?

Hi TearMac,
I have your Grandfather Brig.-Gen. Duncan Alwyn MacFarlane on my website at http://www.clanmacfarlanegenealogy.info/genealogy/TNGWebsite/getperson.php?personID=I8030&tree=CC and would be very interested in your descent from him as at this stage I only have a daughter Lavinia.
Thanks heaps also to CEMH for the War Graves site photo link.
