McDermid/McDiarmid
« on: Saturday 30 April 11 17:59 BST (UK) »
Looking for information on John McDermid and his wife Mary who are living in Bundaloch, Kintail in the 1861 census.   John and Mary were both born in Ireland.  They had a son Francis (born Glasgow 1837) who married Christian/Christie McRae (her father was Donald McRae, soldier and mother Margaret McRae ms McRae).  Francis and Christian are in Kintail in 1861 census, 1871 census Christian is with her son Donald and daughter Mary, no sign of Francis.  However, I found him in the poor house in Glasgow in 1874 and he died there in 1879.  On his death certificate he is down as single.  Ring any bells with anyone?
