Alexander & Rachel Mc Innes census lookup

[posterity]

Great fun isn't it... I get lost unless I draw little pictures for myself but getting old I am still a bit lost... So correct me if I am wrong with my thinking .... what you have is....

Christy McInnes (circa) 1780 - (Any idea of maiden name and husband.. was it Angus???)
had son Donald who married another Christy who was a sister of Rachel. In 1851 he was head of house caring for niece Margaret 18 living with him? with wife Christy dead (he had remarried???)
Donald's son Neil was living close with an uncle Malcolm

Maol Caluim - Malcolm McInnes (who married Anabella McPherson) was or was not a brother of Donald McInnes ? If he was it would make Christy (circa 1780) his mother ? and was Angus the father ?

Was this one of the Angus's in Black John's family of:

Calum Mor - Malcolm the Elder c1765 (m) Flora McKinnon c 1772
Neil c 1766
Aonghus Mor (Angus the elder)
Myles c1769 (m) Marion McKenzie c1768
Calum Og - Malcolm the Younger - 2 sons evidently migrated Australia
John (Jonathon) (m) Isabella Anderson
Aongus Og (Angus the younger)

Hope I am not confusing just trying to understand.. Thanks Clint

hello Meg
As I have said previously I stopped doing this branch until I can give it my full concentration I am at the moment working on my Fogden side who married Rachel and Alexander's son Duncan and is just as complicated. There is a lot of people doing this McInnes  branch with a  lot with different oppions and a times not being confirmed add that to the problem of McInnes marry McInnes is ridiculous
As for Rachels death I did put ? and did not say it was correct but was trying to make the point that there is so much confusion as I too have been told about this Bible one story was that the Maggie that I am trying to find has something to do with it also that the Duncan was either Rachels  her brother ?? or father ?  I was wondering if it was her son Duncan that was the informant as for South Australia not listing parents this is what I have found

Rachel Mcinnes
31 Mar 1865
Mulgundawa Nr Wellington
age 62
Birth    abt 1803
Father   Duncan Mcinnes

Registration Place Wellington, South Australia
Page 111

Also you have stated that Rachel and Christy parents are

" Rachel's parents are Niel or Duncan McInnes and Christy."

I have spoken to Rossanne McInnes and Irene who have both been research the McInnes for many many years and I was informed it was Malcolm McInnes  (m) Anabella McPherson she also posted on this thread !!!

I have also been following all your Post


So I am completely confused

Would you mind explaining with prof if possible of who is correct

Hi Clint

have you been in touch with Roseanne McInnes?
I see you have posted on another site asking her for info ??

Rossane has heaps of stuff and is a bit better at recording than me... I should have had a tree type programme on a computer but do not. Just losts of notes. Rosanne is a wealth of info.... I would love to get a disk of her or any others and try and get the lot together as there must be heaps now and Maggie at Clan Donald Centre must have a good part strapped together I would think. Unfortunately we are not that well off and I am no position to travel so just go in spurts now and again as the desire takes me.... The list of Black John's siblings came from a bible too I understand...
Keep posting bits and pieces and thoughts... Regards Clint

Hi Clint
just reading your PM looks like we are on right track for Alexander what you are saying is what I have been told threw my family
The problem seems to be with Rachels family I guess will have to wait until Meg gets back on line and maybe she will be able to help confirm thing or should we also send Rosanne another email and see what she thinks Did Rosanne tell you who her parents where? I have a heap of emails from her Im sure that she said it was Malcolm McInnes  (m) Anabella McPherson but Meg seems to think different
I haven't got time today to go threw them but will try to asap

Also  wonder whether Rachel should be posted separate and hopefully some Rootschat experts could help us solve this with proof

Hi,

I am not sure where to start but here goes.  (Rosanne is doing other stuff.  She moved and I haven't heard from her for ages.)

Christy someone born about 1779/80 married Niel (according to the croft records for the croft they were on in 1851) and had Martin 1800? who was a wine merchant, Christy b?, Rachel about 1808 and Donald about 1814/15 (he either born Skye or Glasgow).

Christy (the daughter) married Donald McInnes and had Niel, Margaret (who jumped overboard) and Miles.  Can't remember which order the first two are but they are registered but Miles isn't.  Christy died and Donald re-married and kept his son Miles and had more children and died outside Inverness.  Margaret went to her mother's family to live and Niel went to live with his uncle Malcolm (if you believe the census entry).  I know Rosanne said that Malcolm had lots of nieces and nephews with him at different times.  Perhaps he was really nice or perhaps he used them a cheap labour.

Rachel married Alexander McInnes and Mrs Rachel McInnes was Margaret's nearest relation on the ship when she died.  Rachel has to be her aunt. (It says Mrs.)

Donald the one born in 1815 married Margaret can't remember her surname and had lots of children but he had a son Niel fairly early on.  He moved to Selkirk and Roxburgh and one of his sons was Ronald Martin McInnes I guess after his brother Martin (his wife had a brother Ronald). 

When Donald's father died he was the only one living at home so he was listed as the head of the house.

So if Rachel had a bible from a Duncan McInnes then I suggest there is a Duncan in that family as well.

Can't give you anymore about them.

There were several Niels on the croft records in Harripool.

Meg.
