Cousin Donald Ross told me that Annie Cameron's father Ranald Cameron was tailor on Uist.

Hi Ken,
I think you received a mailbox is full message because I am new to rootschat.
I found this under 'help"
New members must make at least three postings before being allowed to use the PM facility.
Please note: If you are sending PMs to new members who have less than three posts you will receive an error message, that your limit, or allowed number has been reached. (note that it says your limit, although it actually refers to the recipient.)
Perhaps one more post will open my mailbox
Liz

Ranald Cameron b1831 was my great-great grandfather. His daughter Annie married Allan MacCuish - they were my great grandparents and had nine children in all. They bought what was the schoolhouse at Claddach Kirkibost and ran some kind of shop from there. Their daughter Morag was my dad's mother. She married Harry Adamson from Yorkshire who was driver to a Lord Anstruther Grey and often went to Uist with him. Morag and Harry Adamson had two sons - my dad Norman and his brother Ronald - both still living in Edinburgh. I have one brother also Norman Adamson who lives near Cupar in Fife though he is on North Uist for a couple of weeks just now with my dad to visit 88 year old cousin Donald. Morag's sister Meg married a John Ross from Edderton who died in WWII. They had two sons - Donald who now lives his grandparents house (Annie and Allan's house) at Claddach Kirkibost. I have fond memories of summer holidays on Uist as a child and was just there in August visiting. I live with my husband in Juneau, Alaska. Have more info on Annie and Allan's other children. Hope someone is still reading this chat!
