I have Myles complete background along with his brothers going back to the 1500 's. Three of the boys . Duncan, Myles and John came out on HMS Hercules to Australia in 1852. Believe Myles was not married or had family (like his younger brother Malcolm who died at Makaraka Gisborne). Duncan the oldest settled who stayed and settled in Australia, and John the youngest and my great grandfather, both had large families. In Johns case 12 children, making up for the other two no doubt... Anyway I would be extremely keen on knowing more about Myles.. I think he may have been part of the Lodge at sometime but cannot guarntee that.
Sculimus for your info is a farm and part of Breakish land just out of Broadford, Strath, Isle of Skye. The four brothers were born there and their parents Donald and Catherine Mcinnes both died of typhus there in circa 1848. The boys then relocated to Lower Breakish with Duncan the oldest looking after John the youngest but working in the South. They were penniless and were assisted to emigrate as part of the Highland Clearances.
If you know of anyone interested on a whole story on this eraly Dunedin settlers background I have it along with other material that puts the whole story into perspective. I have now tracked the whole four down with your help... but would love to piece Myles Dunedin story together but that maybe a hurdle to far......
Any further help appreciated and go the blue and gold (but not green)
