Argyllshire / Re: Blue family, Kilmun

You are right about some death certificates not stating the parent's names.  One of Donald and Christina's children did state  - Donald Cameron as father and a ? Blue.  Today I have found the birthdates of their children born in Campbeltown, Argyle, Scotland.  Mary (my great grandmother) born 18 Feb 1820, Agness born 27 Jan 1830, Malcolm b. 19 Feb 1824, Barbra b. 20 Mar 1826, Margaret b. 22 Mar 1822.  Also found a son John b. 08 Mar 1828 (must of died young in Scotland?  Christina b. 1832,  Elizabeth b. 1827 and Jane born in Canada in 1838.  It is just like putting a great big puzzle together.  I think I will try to go the registry office and re read Donald Cameron's will  -  I read it years ago and it gives the names of his living children.  Joyce Brownell

I think maybe my Christina Blue is the sister of your Duglad Blue.  Christina and her husband Donald Cameron immigrated to Ontario, Canada, in abt. 1833/34.  I wish I could find out more about Donald Cameron and his family as well.  I know some of the families which settled in the area came from Campbelton  -  such names as McMillan, Galbraith, Grey and Beith.  On my Great grandmother's death registration it mentions she was born in Argyllshire, Scotland.  Joyce Brownell

To : Merry B.

I have a sheet here from the "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and it says Christina Blue was christened on the 23 Mar 1795  Lochkiarran, Kilcalmonell, Argyll, Scotland and her parent's were Donald Blue and Margaret Brown.  I have a second sheet from them giving the marriage of Donald Cameron  - spouse Christy Blue  -  marriage 22 Dec 1818  Campbeltown, Argyl, Scotland.  On one of their daughter's death registrations (Barbara) it gives her father's name as Donald Cameron and a question mark with Blue beside her mother's maiden name.  I would love to know more about the family.  I think the family came with money from Scotland as when they arrived they sent back to Scotland to have stone masons come out and build their house (which still stands).  Donald put quite a bit of money into bulding one of the churches in Bowmanville and was on the harbor commossion as well.  Any information would be great.  Joyce Brownell

I am looking for any information on a Christina Blue who was born about 1795 in Scotland (Argyllshire) who married a Donald Cameron born abt 1793.  The couple immigrated to Ontario, Durham Co., Canada in about 1834.  Some of their family was born in Scotland.  On my great-grandmother's death registration it states she was born in Argyllshire in abt. 1819  - she was one of the daughter's of Donald Cameron and Christina ( we think her maiden name was Blue).  My great-grandmother's name was Mary Cameron.  I have had difficulty finding any information on this family.  Donald and Christina's children were as follows: Mary, Agnes, Barbara, Catherine, Christina,  Malcolm, Elizabeth, Jane and Margaret.  Any information would be helpfull.  Thank you Joyce Brownell

My Great -Great Grandparents Donald Cameron and his wife Christina (Blue) not sure of last name were born in Argyllshire, Scotland.  They came to Canada (Ontario) in about 1833/34 and settled in Darlington Twp., Durham Co., Ontario.  Donald was born in 1793 and died in ON Aug. 13, 1857.  Some of their children were born in Scotland.  Mary my great grandmother was born abt. 1819 in Argyllshire.  The children in the family were Mary, Agnes, Barbara, Catherine, Christina, Malcolm, Elizabeth, Jane & Margaret.  I noticed there is a Christina Blue married to a Donald Cameron whose parents are Donald Blue and Margaret Brown.  I was wondering if any one had these people in their family tree??  I have had a hard time finding any information on this family.  Joyce B.
