Thanks for the info on the Munns. I noticed several mentioning a McKellar connection. John Brown's wife Jane Leitch had a sister Janet Leitch who married Duncan McKellar. They went to Australia on the ship of a Duncan McKellar (Uncle to the first Duncan) Janet was apparently murdered there and her husband Duncan died in 1838 . Their is a Brown connetion out there also. Helen

John Brown died 1897 at the age of 92 at Finnarmore. His death cert. does not give his parents names (the info given by grand-daughter Lizzie. I have only found info on two of the children Adam Duncan died 29 Dec 1872 age 18 (the earlier Duncan must have died young) and Jean/Jane married her cousin Colin Fletcher son of Colin Fletcher and Elizabeth Leitch. One of the reasons I was on this site was to find the parents of John Munn. His death cert. gives his mother's maiden name as Carmichael. I came across a marriage record for an  Ann Michael to a James Munn and one for an Ann Brown with the marriage dates close togerther on in Kilmodan and one in Inverchaolin.  I thought perhaps the 2 Ann's could be the same person but each record is clear as Michael and Brown. The children of Ann Brown and James Munn would match up with the approximate age of my John. I have info no the Leitch Family Alexander Leitch was ground officer in Kilmodan. He was married to a Mary Weir/McNuir (another one of those name changes). Thanks for the information on John Brown. Helen

continuing John and Euphemia also had a son John Cameron baptized 18 aug 1832. He married Anne Miller in Central Dist. Glasgow 17 Jul 1857. They had several children to be born and died in the Tradeston/ Clyde Districts of Glasgow and I lost track of them after 1881

Mary Scott married James Cameron in Edinburgh 26 Dec. 1865 (cert. gives Mary's name as Lucy. Her father Alexander Scott and mother Julia Scott ms Ross. This was Edinburgh St. Giles.
Their daugther Margaret Todd Cameron was born in Edinburgh (Canongate) 18 Sep. 1866 (James was a Private in the 74th Foot.
daughter Euphemia Mcdermid(McDiarmid) Cameron born in Greenock  Feb 1873. in 1871 still in Edinburgh.
Mary gives her birthplace as Inverness, Isle of Skye
1891 and 1901 they are in Bonhill, Dumarto and she gives her birthplace as Brodford, Isle of Sky. Mary dies in Paisley and father is given as John Scott, shoemaker and mother Julia Scott ms Ross both dec'd in 1910. Hope this helps.

John Cameron and Euphemia McDermid were married Oct. 1827 in Paisley (or Abbey Landward) They may have had four children. John b. 1832, Euphemia b. 1835. James Bates Cameron b. 1838 (this is the one living in Edinburgh on the 1881 census and possible Catherine b. 1841.
I will get to my files and get back to you with exact dates soon. Thanks for the replies

I also have relatives from Inverchaolin. John Munn who married Mary Leitch. She was from Kilmodan and her father was Alexander Leitch and mother Mary McNuir/Weir. John died in Greenock in 1856 his parents were given as James and Ann Carmichael Munn.  There is a marriage for an Ann Michael which could be his mother I think his father was James Munn and marriage about the same time for an Ann Brown whose children fit in with the age of John Munn. I wonder if there could have been a mistake in the records.
