Alexander & Rachel Mc Innes census lookup

[shilo]

Hi Clint and Meg
I have just been having a quick look at all the emails I received from Roseanne and Irene and think I have worked out how I got confused ( yes old age is setting in  ) I think what has happed is Rosanne posted on this thread post 28 and said that Rachel's parents where  Malcolm McInnes  (m) Anabella McPherson  ( I still dont no at this stage if they are part of the family or not ) I entered that info to my tree and must not have corrected it, as I have said previously I had only just stared doing my tree and did not have much experience and decided to leave that part and work on the other members of the family I did no about,

So Clint,

Meg is right my apologies Meg  

So Meg what do you think about the death certificate it would help confirm the Duncan from the bible
Also I am confused on why you think south Australian Death cert don't have parents as I have a number of Alexander and Rachel's children who died in South Australia with either one or both parents listed

Hello we are new to the forum but are very interested to your chats and the connections we have - I am the great great grandson of Alexander and Alice McInnes (nee Jenner) from Meningie South Australia, their daughter Margaret Jane 10th Jan 1881 (twin of Malcolm) is my great grandmother.  My grandmother Doreen Eva Tischer (nee Holmes), do you have any information on Alexander and his respective families did at Wellington and later Meningie SA.  look forward to a reply regards

Hi,

Was drawn to the topic with surname as I have similar but from South Uist. Anyway, no surprise re mix-up, with the grand total of about 5 forenames to choose from in those days  I have similar, 3 Donalds, 2 with different middle names, all brothers, not MacInnes though!!!!

Anyway, enjoyed the read and just a thought (yes, a thought) :-
 
The fact that "Maggie" seems to have been shunned/banished - was she possibly the outcome of extra curricular activity??

Regards,

Anne

Hello Jackie - thank you for your reply - and nice to hear we have some connection - as you know stories are passed on through families but seeing as we are from Alexanders second marriage we don't know much about Alexander and the Mcinnes family so it would be good to exchange information with you Jackie.  ie his occupation, life stories etc, look forward to your reply

kind regards

Hi,
I am the great grandson of Isabella MacInnes. She was the daughter of Alexander and Rachel MacInnes.

Isabella married Ronald MacDonald, who along with his father(ArchibaldD1854) and siblings, came out on the Hercules in 1854 to Adelaide.

I have seen a marriage entry for Rachel and Alexander listing her as being from "Harripool" or "Harrapool".

Cheers,
Alan MacDonald.

Hello Allan - thank you for your information and nice to hear from you - I am from Alexanders second marriage to Alice Jenner - but we are still linked by Alexander he like you my great great grandfather - we have little or no information about him so unfortunately there is not much i can tell you as my maternal side also has left behind little or no information to.  My family and I live in the Adelaide Hills which is not far from Meningie were Alexander and Rachel settled and raised there family, and where he met! Alice Jenner and married after Rachel's passing.  It is interesting discovering the Scottish side of the family I didn't know about that before - but have done a lot of researching for my wife's family as they are Cameron's.  hope all is well with you and your family and would like to exchange any information as we can.

regards
