Ross & Cromarty / Re: MacKenzie's of Fodderty and Ullapool

Donald Gollan (31 Mar 1809 Urray - 8 Dec 1877 Edinburgh), Policeman in 1861 Census in Edinburgh married Catherine Mackenzie (c.1806 Contin - 27 May 1862 Edinburgh) on 1 May 1835 in Avoch.

I have found 5 of their children : Alexander 1836 Avoch, Roderick 1837 Avoch, Isabella 1840 Urray, Hector 1843 Tibbermore, Mary c. 1845,

(Margaret 1866 Edinburgh, Donald 1871 Edinburgh were born to Donald's 2nd wife Christina Fulton)

Hi, You don't seem to fit into this tree, but I have found 4 births in Tarbat/Fearn to Kenneth Mackenzie & Margaret Butler between 1841 and 1848. Could this be your ancestors?

Hi Irene,

Not the same family, I'm afraid.

I think your Catherine Mackenzie might be the daughter of Alexander Mackenzie of Millbank (son of Kenneth), who went bankrupt in about 1830. If this is news to you, I can give you plenty more detail; another of my ancestors was Alexander's grieve at Millbank (just outside Dingwall).

Thanks, these Gillanders & Maclennans are descended from mine. Nice to find out what happened more recently!

Worth a try.

Thanks for the letter, but the resolution is so low that I can't read it... is there another way to display it?

Ross & Cromarty / Militia - Contin & Fodderty & Dingwall
« on: Saturday 15 January 11 19:43 GMT (UK)  »
Does anyone have any lists of men in the militias in the parishes of Contin, Fodderty & Dingwall between 1780 and 1840?

Or know where I can find them online?

Drawn a blank so far.
