Catherine 'Mona' Miller was my 1st cousin twice removed.  My GG Grandparents (Robert Mckenzie McLeod & Catherine Maddrell) were her grandparents.  Have sent you a personal message

Thankyou for the info.  I had considered fishing boats originally until I found Robert's  occupation described as Seaman Steward on family certificates.  Perhaps fishing boats did have stewards and that those sailing out of Lochinver travelled as far south as IOM. Just goes to show that no line of enquiry should be discounted!!!   Thanks again for the interest - much appreciated.

Isle of Man / Shipping Connection IOM to NW Scotland in mid 1800s

My Gt Gt Grandmother Catherine Maddrell married Robert McKenzie Mcleod from Lochinver, Sutherland, Scotland on 24 Feb 1869 at Kirk Rushen, Isle of Man, England.  Robert was a seaman steward in the Merchant Service. 

I have been searching to find out whether there was a passenger shipping connection between the IOM and NW Scotland and wonder whether anyone has any information.  I have thought that Robert might have served on one of the early Caledonian Macbrayne ferries.

FAO - JHHutch

Sometimes you get lucky as I was when I came across this post by jhhutch (looks like we are related)  In searching for info about my 3 Gt Grandfather George Hutchison I had just established from the 1871 Census that he was a Vintner and married to Barbara Philips.  A google search for Barbara brought me to this website.   I am descended from George and Barbara's daughter Janet who married Peter Edgar (cabinet maker from Crieff).   Their daughter Helen (who married Roderick Mcleod) was my Gt Grandmother.

MELVILLE, PHILP, THALLON

Isabella Melville married George Philp 8th Oct 1796.  She was born in 1768 in Coaltown of Balgonie to David Melville and Katherine Smith. The Philps were another old Coaltown family and I have details of George's family back to his 2nd Great Grandfather all living at Coaltown as far back as 1693.
George and Isabella are my 3rd Great Grandparents. Their daughter Barbara Philp married George Hutchison (at one time publican at Coaltown) whose Grandmother was (I believe) Isabella Thallon who is listed in the FFHS list of Burials at Markinch.  I have nothing more on the Thallon family and would welcome any information.
