Jacobite prisoners from 1745

[sceath]

Hello Old Riley,

Many thanks for the Grant names.

Hoping now to find if any of them were amongst the 16men of Glenurquhart and 68 men of Glenmoriston who surrended to Cumberland and were shipped to London and then on to Barbados.

Cheer's for now.

PGM..

Hi Old Rowley

I would be grateful for the information for the single entry for the surname 'Stephen' in the list of Jacobite prisoners.Many thanks

PGM,  there was a Peter Grant who had fought at Culloden, introduced to George IV on his visit to Edinburgh as "your Majesty's auldest enemy",  from the north east though.    Skoosh.

Hi SG.C and welcome to Rootschat.

Unfortunately he entry for Stephen is none too helpful as all it states is,
(prisoner) "3129. James Stephen .....Transported."

no dates or any other information given. Sorry that it is not much help.

Welcome to rootschat LL, I haven't got an Andrew Wood on my list but have found the following on the net, a common name but it may be him.

scroll to about half way down the page until the paragraph that starts with "The 1745 jacobite rebellion......" as there is an Andrew Wood mentioned.

To Old Rowley, I have been searching for my ggggranfather and his brothers origins forever!! Their names are John and James McKenzie and i saw there were 34 McKenzies on your list. They were Scottish Jacobites and ended up in Ireland in the Wicklow Mountains. They came to Australia in 1807(convicts) but all records of them previously were lost. Are there any records available? All i know is they were tried in Sligo. Hope you can help. Susan from Australia.

Hi Susan,

Do not know if this will help but there is only one James Mckenzie (it is noted down as M'kenzie) on the list that I have and the entry for him is,

(prisoner number) 2151 James M'kenzie, transported (no place given) on 31st March 1747.

For the John Mckenzie entries there are seven given on my list, one of whom died at Tilbury Fort Essex. Like the above entry the prisoner number is given first followed by name then what happened to them with the date of the event last.

Prisoner's by the name of John M'Kenzie
2157/2158/2159/2160/2161 and 2162 all transported on 31st March 1747 (no place given for transportation).

2171 John M'Kenzie, died at Tilbury Fort. No date given.

Not much  but it may help as a reference point in the future for you.
