[colleena4]

William Stoddart born abt 1833 in Fort Augustus and Mary Kennedy born abt 1841 ?Kilmonivaig, had a daughter Sarah Ann Stoddart 1880 - 1967 born in Fort Augustus, Inverness shire.

Does anyone have any relevant information about Sarah's siblings and parents and siblings of William and Mary.

Thanks.

I have a picture of me taken with my Mum and Dad at a wedding in the Ness Bank Church, Inverness sometime in the late 50s early 60s - on the back is written:

At the wedding of Marjorie Stoddart.

I have childhood memories of going to visit people at either Whitebridge, Errogie or Farr and wonder if these people were part of the Stoddart family.

I also remember a family named Kennedy, who I think may have been connected - one of the Kennedys, a girl, used to play the piano accordian.

I can't find them on the 1851. 

I'm not finding William Stoddart near there or Inverness either.

Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this posting. Mary Kennedy is one of my Glengarry Kennedy family. One of their daughters was Mrs Matheson, Lilac Cottage, Fort Augustus - tragic house fire 1940 - three youngsters killed. Another daughter married Roderick Kennedy, Inverness - they lived in "Culzean", Telford Street, Inverness - the family had a butchers shop in Inverness and one of the sons was Canon Alistair Kennedy died about 1975.
Connected to the Kennedy and MacDonell families of Stratherrick and the MacDonald family of Achnaconeran, Glenmoriston. Many relatives around Fort William area.
