I have contacted the museum but they don’t have anything more than I already know. I will check the kirk sessions next though.

Thank you

Ross & Cromarty / Lochbroom and Fortrose Cameron's
« on: Saturday 28 June 08 07:29 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for any information on  the following Cameron families from Ullapool.
Donald Cameron b. 1771  married  Margaret McLeod b. 1786.

Children:   Alexander Cameron b. 1810 Lochbroom
                  Catherine Cameron b. 1811 Lochbroom
                  Kenneth Cameron b. 1812 Leckmelm, Lochbroom   d.1855
                  Braes of Ullapool.

Kenneth Cameron b 1812 m. Elizabeth Ross b. 1824   d. 1911

Children:   George Cameron b. about 1846 Ullapool, Lochbroom  d.1935
                  Fintray, Aberdeen.
                  Mary Cameron b. 1848
                  Catherine Cameron b. 1850  d. 1883
                  Isabella Cameron b. 1852  d.1895
                  Kennina Cameron b. 1855  d. 1855
 
George Cameron married 1874 to Eliza Mclennan b.1853 Ullapool, Lochbroom.
Eliza’s parents were Kenneth Mclennan and Annie Stewart?

Children:
               Eliza(Lizzy) b. 1875, Contin ROC
               Kenneth John b. 1877, Lochluichart ROC
               Annie b. 1879 Rosemarkie ROC
               Donald b. 1881 Rosemarkie ROC
               Catherine b. 1884 Rosemarkie ROC
               Margaret(Maggie) b. 1888 Kilmorack InvernessShire  d. 1970
               Fortrose, ROC.

Margaret married around 1917 to Donald Cameron. Donald was born 1890  and died in 1972. His mother was Ann Cameron. Margaret and Donald  lived in Fortrose, Rosemarkie in 1924 (may have been earlier) until their death. Margaret died 1970 in Black Isle South. They had 2 sons born somewhere between 1917-1924. Margaret had another son, William Cameron (my Grandfather), born 1913 in Rosemarkie at the Black Isle Poor House and died in 2005. Father unknown.
My Grandpa came to Canada in 1930 and lost all contact with his family.
  I’m hoping to find out more about Margaret’s other children. One may be Donald George Cameron born around 1922 and died in 1975.  I have contacted a genealogist to get a transcribe birth and death certificates and should know in a couple weeks. The other may be Eliza. The only thing I know about her is that she may have married a Watson.
  I’m also hoping to find out more on Donald Cameron and Margaret McLeod. I have census records that place them in Braes of Ullapool and Leckmelm but haven’t been able to find any birth, marriage or death records. Donald disappeared  from the census after 1851.
  I have an online family tree at Ancestry.com with more info from census, birth, death and marriage records I’d be happy to share.  Please contact me if anyone knows more about this family.

Thank You
Vickie

[email]George Cameron would have been my Great Great Grandfather. My Grandfather, William Cameron, was the son of George's daughter Margaret. He was born at the Black Isle Poorhouse in 1913. No father was named of his Birth Certificate. Margaret married Donald Cameron around 1920 and by 1924 they had 2 children. I'm pretty sure these children's names were Donald George, and Eliza. My Grandpa was sent to Quarrier Homes Orphanage in 1924 and left from there in 1930 to go to Canada. He had no further contact with his family so any living relatives most likely wouldn't know he existed.
A month ago I found an old posting on another message board about this family and was able to contact a woman who was a descendant of George's daughter Ann. She had a little more information on George's family in Ullapool and sent me a photo of George and his wife Eliza McLennan. Do you have any more info on this family after 1924 ? I have a transcript of Margaret's Death certificate in 1970 and hope to learn more about the years between 1924 and 1970.
I have an on line Family Tree I'm working on and will send you a link to it if you like. I have scanned copies of the records from the Orphanage on the Family Tree site that explain a little more of why he was sent there.

Hope to hear from You
Vickie
