Alexander & Rachel Mc Innes census lookup

[Piglet01]

Hello Jackie

As promised, have attached here Alex and Rachels marriage entry for 1830.  One of the briefest I've seen -  a simple one line, no witnesses named or fathers names.  Quality quite poor - but it is theirs. If you want the full page, please pm me your e-mail address.

Regards,   Steve :O)

They where good enough to send me a copy of the original records and they state that they left on the 26 th of December 1852 from campbeltown on the ship Hercules. 

Sorry about the wrong info  got it from family 

Thanks again to everyone who tried to help

Regards

Hello again Jackie

Think I've found the family on the 1851 census - minus Alexander - and a further 2 children born since the '41 census. Have searched for Alexander as that + Alex/Alexr and both Mc and Mac.  Only 2 hits come up for an age 35 to 45 and I'm sure neither is your man.

Used the www.freecen.org.uk site  - still in Heast

Hi Jackie

Re: that link above

http://www.scan.org.uk/_emigration/em_memberssearch.asp?Number=386

I am just listing the details shown purely for info purposes.

Departure date 26.12.1852 from Campbeltown

All s/name McInnes and all from Heaste (Lord McDonalds Estate)
I have put the birthyears shown on the document in brackets - somebody certainly couldn't do their subraction back in 1852!!

ALEXANDER aged 43  (1819)
RACHEL aged 43  (1819)
NEIL 20  (1842)
CATHERINE 18 (1844)
DUNCAN 16 (1846)
CHRISTY 14 (1848)
ISABELLA 6 (1856)
DONALD 4 (1858)

MARGARET 18  (1844) - this entry is shown separately from the main family's entry.   Poor Margaret died 13 Feb 1853

Hello Carole
yes your right  must have been terrible, in my note they where suppose to settle in Queensland Australia but after getting to Adelaide and close to 12 months at sea decided they had enough ship life and settled there instead.

I  have just got another email this time from the ships list
They have stated that they did emigrate on the Hercules 1852 but because of the typhoid some of the passenger where transfered to other ships one being the David Malcolm in 1853 I don't have anything in record form to confirm this  yet but I think all the details are correct now , I hope fingers crossed

Hi Jackie

12 months at sea - it doesn't even bear thinking about.  I wonder if Margaret died of Typhoid

Hello Carole
From family  records it looks like she did and was buried at sea poor thing hoping to start a new life and 
I would love to find out a bit more of the story of how she came to take the other Margret's place  and was it at man that kept the other  in England or Scotland and where did she end up  there is a bit of a story there maybe

Jackie

Hello Steve
 thanks  you for finding 1841 census I wonder where Alexander is 
he was a Monumental Mason maybe he was away working or he went ahead to  Edinburgh before emigration 
Also Margaret isn't listed either I wonder if she was already married, she was 21 then, working  or with Alexander ?
 
definitely a bit more searching required

thanks again
Jackie
