Very interesting.

By all accounts it was a Catherine Macdonald who married Donald Campbell, looks like you've found another one.

The Clan Gillean book says a daughter of Ranald of Balishare did marry Archibald Maclean of Heisker.

Hello,

have you looked in the Clan Donald book? It says he had one daughter (unnamed) who married Donald Campbell of Scalpay. Ranald is my husbands 8th G Uncle  ;D, what did you find?

Derbyshire Lookup Requests / Re: Auland (Anland) COX, Born c1840 Derbyshire.

Welll maybe,

there is one of that name in 1901 on the New South Wales Census

Locality:    Springmount
Sub-District: E Tilbuster
County:    Sandon
District:    Armidale

Source Citation: State Archives NSW; Series: NRS 685; Book: 5; Item: 2/8432; Fiche: 1014-1017.

It definitely says Enland on the schedule. A bit of googling has shown me that the Penal Servitude Act 1853 substituted penal servitude for transportation, but I'm no expert. Unfortunately there is only a paltry amount of info on the census.

Cheers Jo

Hi Tony,

it's looking promising. It looks like he is still there on the 1851 Whitfield census born in Ashton as Enland Cocks age 12 occ. weaver to me. There's a few with Enland as a surname in Lancs. on Familysearch, only a very few though. Maybe that's where it came from, it's intriguing.

Cheers Jo

I can't find anything else close, such an unusual name.
