Hi Davcantray

I have the MI list for the old churchyard at Petty but cannot find references for the family you mentioned, sorry.
There are others of course with those surnames so presumably you do have more indirect ancestors buried there, but sorry i can't find these ones.
Any other names you come up with though, please holler and i'll have a wee look again.
Cheers, Helen

Hi Frances.

I'm sorry to disappoint you but none of those particular McRae people are listed in my book.  There is a Margaret Morrison but many decades later.
However i'm pretty sure that whilst researching my lot, i found info on Duncan/David/Donald McRae's so i'll have a rummage again.

Best of luck anyhow,
Helen

Hi Nina.

Sorry it took me a couple of days to reply to you, i hope this helps.
In my booklet, there are no listings at all for 'Mains' - a surname which is associated further east along the coast, but there are plenty of McKenzies and Tolmies listed.  Several can be discounted from your information, but there are others, so it'd be easier if you could provide dates - even if approximate - to narrow it down please, or perhaps other first names?

Could they be buried on that farm.  Does anyone know where this Brackley Farm is?

Aley
Hi Aley.

The parish of Petty was an amalgamation of two parishes, Petty (or Pettye, Pettie) and Bracholy (or Braichlich).  Bracholy was closer to Ardersier ie further northeast and closer to Fort George.  There is no longer a church but there is a graveyard.
I'm not sure about the ethics and rules on these things, (anyone, please feel free to advise me!) but there is a website with a few details about it, basically if you look for 'The Deanery of Inverness' then 'Bracheli' on the l/h side.  Any snags then let me know and i'll pm you with the link.
I haven't found the location of the farm yet, but am still checking old maps i have and will get back to you if i get any joy.
Cheers,
Helen

Hi Aley,

Sorry but they aren't listed in the Old MI's book.  There are several Ross's but not those first names.  There's a Katherine Ross, spouse of Allexander Denune, d. march 1663 also a Catherine Rose but thats the closest i found.  The christian name Walter is unusual for the area, in fact theres only one in the whole book, a Walter Clark.  Did he have family in the area which may match the Ross's in the book?
I'm sorry i couldn't find you a direct match but am willing to help in any way i can.

Mary,

thats unfortunately the case with most of my Petty people.
There are some buried stones with no legible inscriptions but that doesnt help us huh.  Thank goodness for other records.
There are other graveyards nearby though, such as Ardersier, plus the newer one at Petty - so it depends on your dates.

Hi Helen
   Thanks for the message. Regarding the McKenzies I can't think of anything else to check, but are there any Wilson names in there because Donald McKenzie married Margaret Wilson and I'm having as much trouble with that name as I am McKenzie. This is for a similar period i.e 1830 back to say 1750.
Many thanks
David
Hi David,
Sorry no luck with the Wilsons, except for a Donald Wilson who erected a stone for his wife who d. in 1886 aged 49. No mention of his dates, only their children.
Also a Catherine b @ 1860.

Helen
