This is probably rather late, David but I've just returned to Rootschat and would love to hear more of your great great grandfather and great great mother MacLennan/ Innes

What's unusual about a grandmother born in 1877??
No, I don't know if it was really their employment or just an enthusiasm.
the brother went on to be a motor mechanic but my grandmother became a nursery maid before marrying and then a cook.
I've been trying to find if any other youngsters called themselves cyclist on the 1891 census

Bit late now, as you were writing in 2009 but did you ever sort out the Gertrudes?  I have Gertrude born 1889 dying unmarried in 1958 on the Wirral.  The Gertrude who married a Keggin is the daughter of Hugh.  Gertrude (1910-1973), Hugh ( 1878-1945)

On the 1891 my grandmother (b 1877 shown as age 13) and her older brother (b 1874 shown as aged 16) both have "Cyclist" in the "Profession or Occupation" column.  I haven't come across this anywhere else.  Is it a recognised entry?  is it because cycling is quite new and they want to say they can do it?  Is it like people now putting "Jedi" on the census form?
By 1901 she is a "Nurse domestic" and he is an iron monger (I think - he was hard to track down)
I would love to know if anyone else has come across cyclist on census forms

Thank you so much!  That's magic :)    I was thinking I'd have to make another trip north (not that I wouldn't like to do that anyway!).  Last trip I'd just settled in the Family History centre in Inverness when the fire alarm went off and we all had to evacuate the building.

Ross & Cromarty / Fodderty Cemetery
« on: Saturday 22 March 14 15:22 GMT (UK)  »
Does anyone live near to Fodderty cemetery who could help me with a grave stone inscription?  I took a photo of this stone last year  ( it is lying flat in the old part of the cemetery through the main gate and up the hill to the left next to a standing stone erected by jane anderson or macLennan to her parents Kenneth and Christina.  My photo is not very clear of the stone I am interested in. It  is to Donald Mclennan railway inspector who died in Wick 1889 and his wife Catherine Innes.  But that is all i can deceipher.  Any help much appreciated

oh and yes, those are the census records I've been working from.

I have Christina MacRae's mother down as Mary MacKenzie, but rather foolishly I haven't noted where I got that from, probably someone else' tree.

Thank you for all your hard work, Monica
