Inverness / Re: Mckinnon family Lochaber

Thanks guys, that is fascinating (also a bit upsetting) about his niece and brother-in-law I somehow missed that. Also I just ordered his wives death certificate, I didn't before as I couldn't find his and I knew a bit more about her, so I just forgot about it. My family has always been unsure whether his parents listed are actually his parents (lack of confirmation back in Scotland but also because none of his children were called Angus which was weird) but couldn't figure where they would've gotten that from or if he said that but lied for some reason

"Ewen Mckinnon (1780?-1847)"

Where did he die?

He died in Bathurst, New South Wales

Inverness / Mckinnon family Lochaber
« on: Friday 01 August 25 05:16 BST (UK)  »
Hi! One of my ancestors is Ewen Mckinnon (1780?-1847),  he immigrated to New South Wales , Australia in 1833 as part of the Highland Clearances. I have found records that trace him to Kilmonivaig and Lochaber. In 1806 in the former place he married Marsalie or Marjory McMillan. However, despite that information I can find no trace of his parents, on his immigration papers it lists Angus McKinnon and Margaret McDonald (also says he was born in 1777). I feel like I am running out of places to search from where I am from (New Zealand) and so was wondering if anyone 1. has any ideas, 2. knowns anything, or 3. has Mckinnon ancestry from around the Kilmonivaig area as apart from my cousins near me I cannot seem to find anyone else with McKinnon links from there. Thanks!

LOL 624 met in Enniskillen Arms hotel in July 1835.

In October 1837 George Willis, Enniskillen Arms Hotel in Darling Street is mentioned in Enniskillen Chronicle & Erne Packet.

That's interesting thanks, I hadn't found any other mention of the hotel before. I did find a record on PRONI about a lease from the earl of Enniskillen to John Bland in 1854 I'll have to order a copy of that at some point.

Yeah, I don't know where the Buxton last name came from for his wife. One of the cousins Arthur John Bland went back to Ireland and in a typed out page of research it says that John married in Belfast but doesn't say when or her last name. I've assumed the Buxton last name came from a confusion with two people from Allstonefield John Bland and Eliza Buxton who lived around the same time. But I don't know.

Hi,
I feel like I am banging my head against a wall trying to find out more about this side of my family so I thought I would see if anyone on here can help or has any ideas I can try. I am a descendant of a guy called John Bland, who from his death records and immigration records was born in County Fermanagh sometime around 1816 he owned a hotel called the Enniskillen Arms Hotel. At some point he married Eliza, who I don't have a maiden name for as I cannot find any marriage record. They had three children John (1848), Jane (1851) and Thomas (1853). The family immigrated to the state of Victoria in Australia (1857) after Eliza died there the rest moved to New Zealand. I cannot find any record pertaining to their time in Enniskillen or generally Ireland apart from a mention on a directory in 1855 because of the hotel. They are listed on immigration records as being presbyterian. Any help or ideas of things I can try would be much appreciated.
