Perthshire / Re: Robertson of Riemore

Gordon MacGregor's work is outstanding - but it should be noted that there are omissions of some children and inconsistencies with regard to some minor marriages. So, like all else, don't treat as biblical and confirm with secondary sources where possible.

Nice find on the place name Throth.

You need to accept that the record of the marriage of Duncan Campbell and Margaret Macnaughton either has not survived, or it is the one in 1804 between Dun Campbell and Margarate Macnaughten in Kilmonivaig. If the latter, you need to consider why a couple married in Kilmonivaig would turn up a decade later in a croft in Dull, which in early 19th century terms is a long distance away, quite apart from being through difficult country. 

There were a number of families that moved from or married in Kilmonivaig and worked in Rannoch and Foss. So it isn't impossible the record corresponds, but yes the distance makes it less likely. Foss also saw a number of Kenmore/Killin families move up for work at this time as well.

DNA may also prove the line. I will message you Roberta with regards.

The family of Duncan Campbell and Margaret McNaughton.

Throth may have more info on possible siblings at Pitkerril - but the naming pattern is off for the family he has listed on his site, so I do not think they are related.

There is a Duncan born 1813 working as a trader and a Peter born 1819 working as a bailiff in nearby Cayuga in the 1851 Census, both married. Unclear if these are the corresponding children.

Daughter Elizabeth born 1811 married John Wilkie and resided at Walpole in the 1851 Census together with their children.
Her brother Archibald, born 1815 lived next to them with his wife Sarah Jane Cameron of Ross-shire and their children. He is still there in the 1861 census with the Wilkes near by. In1867 he moves on to Romney, Kent for the 1871/81/91 census. He is listed as being from Perthshire on the Kent land record. He died 12 JUN 1900 in Caldwell, Missaukee, Michigan, USA, where he was living with his youngest daughter's family in the 1900 census.

This is a difficult family to place, as they are not listed in Donald Whyte's Immigration books.
Hugh's death record in 1895 at Wentworth does not list parents names. The Wentworth certificate may belong to a different Hugh though.
It is unclear if the entire family came over, or if Hugh came over just with his parents.

There is a marriage of a Hugh Campbell and Catherine McGregor in 1845 in Weem/Fortingall, but this belongs to another family. Unclear if Hugh married prior to coming over or in Ontario.

On Duncan Campbells grave stone it says "native of Perthshire". On Scotland Marriages 1561-1910 just says 20 May 1795 Blair Atholl, Perthshire,Scotland. Found actual marriage record for Blair Atholl for Duncan Campbell in Dalinspidail & Marg. Campbell in Craggancur(?) in parish of Fortingale. 20 May. Was hard to read. Am hoping to find out more about the families like parents and siblings.

You are looking at an unrelated marriage. You are incorrect.

The family that went to Haldimand is from Pitkerril, Dull.
Margaret's last name was McNaughton.
Their son Hugh born 1820 married Catherine McGregor.

When I said 100% sure, I meant it, as I went through the records on Ancestry/ScotlandsPeople. There is no record of Margaret's last name being recorded as 'Campbell'. The 1795 marriage is too early for the children born.

Duncan, Margaret are living with/next to their son Hugh in the 1861 census at Walpole. Hugh is recorded as being born in Scotland throughout each census. This means they did not come in 1818, but later after all the children I listed were born.

This is NOT the Duncan Campbell and Margaret Campbell of the Blair Atholl/Fortingall marriage.

This is Duncan Campbell of Dull, Perthshire and wife Margaret McNaughton.
There is no marriage recorded in ScotlandsPeople/OPR in Dull/Perthshire. Missing or untranscribed. There is a marriage in Kilmonivaig Inverness-shire in 1804 that could be them.

They had 7 children recorded in Pitkerril, in the Braes of Foss, Parish of Dull, Perthshire.
Elizabeth 1811
Duncan  1813
Archibald 1815
Jean/Jane 1817
Peter 1819
Hugh 1820
Margaret 1824

There may have been a connection between Moneydie and Blacklaw:
https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=718916.0

The births may have been recorded in Moneydie - but taken place over in Bendochy possibly.
It is uncommon, but parish records will indeed record place names that are external. Could have been working over there etc.
