Argyllshire / Re: Rev Duncan McIntyre of Kilmallie

Hello Ian,  I think we may have some crossed wires here.  Firstly, thank you for taking the time to reply to my original post.  I think we are on the right track re Rev Duncan McIntyre, although, He is buried with his wife, Jane in the old Kilmallie Churchyard, not at Ballaculish, unless they are the same locations!!.  I visited Kilmallie three years ago and located and recorded their Headstone in pictures which I can forward to you, however, unable to post on this site.  If you do find the Photos of Rev. Duncan, I would be very grateful if you would share them with me.  Kind regards,   Robert McIntyre

G'Day Jaykim.  I thank you for this information and I think I  can help out clearing up a few issues for you regarding Rev John MacIntyre.  I will PM you with some headstone photos I took last year whilst in the area.  Rob

Thank you so much to you kind people who have submitted advice on this issue.  I am now in a better position to continue on my research. I will post my progress in due course.

 I did go into the Church but no Portraits like was suggested,  However, I might write  to the present Minister re this  matter.   Rob McIntyre

Argyllshire / Rev Duncan McIntyre of Kilmallie
« on: Wednesday 22 February 12 11:51 GMT (UK)  »
Hello.
I am a descendant of Rev Duncan McIntyre (MacIntyre), 1757 - 1830 Minister of Kilmallie Church, Lochaber. He had 15 children, the 13th born being Duncan Alexander McIntyre who emigrated in 1836 to Australia and was accidentally shot at Queanbeyan NSW aged 28. Duncan Alexander being my G G G Grandfather.

I visited Fort William from Australia in 2011 to continue my research into Rev Duncan and located his headstone in the Kilmallie Church Yard.  Also I visited Kilmonovaig nearby, and located the headstone of his 1st Born Son, the Rev John McIntyre Minister of Kilmonovaig 1794 - 1870.

What I am seeking and wondering if any one can help, is that I would dearly love some Photos of Rev McIntyre, although I realise he died in 1830.  Were photographic images common at that time?  (excuse my ignorance on this one)  Or possibly of his son Rev John McIntyre.  The only Photos I have of Rev Duncan's descendants is back to my Grandfather, Kenneth McDonald McIntyre.

So if anyone could advise on this topic I would greatly appreciate.  Thanks in anticipation from Australia. .

Hello from Australia.

My mothers grandmother was Lititia Caroline Elliott born Knockadoo Iniskillen  about 1831????? she migrated to Australia aged about 18 yrs and died 1930, buried at St Mathews, Bannaby, via Goulburn aged 81 yrs.(.Headstone) Letitia married Phillip Handley, son of George Handley a convict of England and transported to Australia about 1832.
My interest, of course is Letitia's family in Ireland if anyone can help?  Her mothers married and maiden name is unknown to me.  Of interst also is Letitia's brother, William Elliott who came out to Aus with her, joined the NSW Mounted Police.  He disappeared whilst out on some Police Patrol in the bush.  His body was never found.  Rob
