Cameron, Frederick James

[KirstyG]

There is also a large entry for Frederick James Cameron on Libindx, which lists numerous entries in the register of poor for Parish of Elgin over several decades. This might give you more information about the family.
There are also biographies, his obituary, Morayshire roll of honour entry (1814-1818), and a headstone reference.

Libindx Reference No.:    NM031581

I don't know if you have any of this already.

Thank you Carole. I sorted through the information you gave me y'day and got things matched up. I had found the Libindx entries for Robert and Martha, so it's great to know I'm on the right track. I also found Robert's birth certificate y'day from "Scotlands People", which confirmed his mother as Jessie Harrold.  He was illigitimate, which would be why he is listed as a son. The Libindx entry for Jessie Harrold lists her as the mother of several children, seemingly to different fathers.  She must have been the town's good time girl! O well, back to it!!

Hi Carole,
The MacKenzies, James and Mary (Gatherer) are my GGG grand parents. Mary Ellis, their daughter (Mary Wood Mackenzie) is my GG granny, born 13th October 1855.
I didn't know that her sister Martha had a child named after their brother Frederick.
Also, their mother Mary Gatherer did die about a month after the birth of her last daughter Isabella. Mary Gatherer died on 12th February 1864 at 10 o'clock p.m. The baby Isabella sadly died on the 1st July 1864 at 4.00 a.m.
