Ann NICOLSON born Isle of Skye 1865 parents Archibald NICOLSON & Margaret MACLEOD
Ian & Margaret Kelly
Hi,
I am researching the NICOLSONS of Glenmore on the Isle of Skye, Scotland, and trying to find out what became of Ann NICOLSON who was born at Glenmore on 1 Sept 1865 to parents Archibald NICOLSON & Margaret MACLEOD.
I have found Ann aged 5 on the 1871 census and 15 on the 1881 census with her parents. She is not on the 1891 census (with her parents) so may have married by then or living with another family.
I obtained a marriage certificate from Scotlands People but it was the wrong one. It showed a marriage of an Ann Nicolson to John Nicolson in 1890 but the bride's parents were John Nicolson & Jane Stewart (wrong parents).
I would like to hear from anyone who is researching this NICOLSON family.
Thank you, Ian, Australia

Hi Dee, I'm researching my Cameron ancestors. The forenames Alexander and Robert are found in my ancestors, who were located mainly in Lanarkshire / Glasgow. My link to Islay is Mary McMillan, born 7th June 1826 in Kilchoman. Her parents were Finlay MacMillan and Catherine McVorran. Mary McMillan married Alexander Cameron on 24 November 1854 in Cambuslang. Kind regards Bruce Cameron

Bruce, I spotted the McVorran name in your post. My 3rd Great Grandmother was Margaret McVorran m George Montgomery (founding Distiller of Octomore). I have been searching for years on the McVorran's but have never found anything other than that both her father
and brother were both named John. I have heard that many McVorran's changed their name to Morrison. Do you have any information on the McVorran's? Here's a link to Margaret's profile: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/McVorren-1

Good Evening All
A question/suggestion: would those responding through my post
where I am specifically seeking my McColman, Campbell, Bell and
Graham ancestors not be better initiating a post with a subject
line of their kin's names? - not tagging onto mine. I'm a novice
but I was able to draft my own search subject line. I get excited
when I see that someone is responding to my post - me thinking
they are seeking my ancestors too - only to find that they are not
- they are seeking completely different Scottish ancestors.
Thank you Dee for your response regarding Scottish naming patterns. Family names repeated from generation to generation certainly keep us on our toes! Best of luck to you too in your research of the ancestors!

Hello from Dee, Re; MORE
Searching the families related to: ANDREW MORE F: M: Born: 14 May 1812 Glasgow, Gorbals, Lanarkshire. Death: 31 August 1889 Glasgow, Shettleston, Lanarkshire
Wife: MARY BULLOCH MORE F: JOHN BULLOCH 1765-1861 M: CATHARINE McFIE 1781-1841 Born: 1820 Death: 1880 Glasgow, Shettleston, Lanarkshire.
So far I am unable to go further back with Andrew's parentage, however have a couple of generations at the back of Catharine. A Daughter of this union married my great-grandfather ALEXANDER MATHER MITCHELL, prior to their immigration to Australia in 1880.
Thank you so much.

My great grandmother Margaret McLugash, born c.1852, was raised at Lenanbuie, probably by her grandparents Donald McLugash and Catherine Carmichael. Her father was John McLugash and her mother was Margaret Campbell of Mulindry. I do not think John and Margaret married, and I think they probably met when John was employed at Mulindry. Margaret Campbell's parents were John Campbell (born c.1780) and Christy Carmichael (born c.1786). My McLugashes seem to have moved around within a very small area at Gartachossan, Lenanbuie and Starchmill, only a mile or so from Mulindry, so it is not too surprising that there appear to have been a number of liaisons/marriages between McLugashes and Campbells in that area.

Thank you so much, Tricia! So kind of you to send me g-g-grandfather’s parents – my 3GG’s! And yet another ‘James’ to add – I must be truly blessed J That given name is in our Mitchell family a gazillion times. Have you any idea from where in Scotland the surname More originated, by any chance?

Re: MORE
Dee Byster-Graham
Hi Tricia, and other MORE searchers,
Hoping you can assist me further re More: Many years ago a researcher sent to me the names of the parents of Andrew MORE 1812-1889 as: James More and Christina Cameron, neither with B/D dates. No Cruickshank named in the document at all.
Would really appreciate your thoughts on this, could it be a different married couple entirely or did my researcher have the name wrong? Grateful thanks in advance, as this is my stumbling block. Kindly, Dee.

Re: MORE
Dee Byster-Graham
Thank you so much, Trish, I shall amend my tree accordingly.
Obviously my info from years ago was incorrect. Very much appreciate your help, as I left searching the Scottish side of our family several years ago to concentrate on the Irish line. Infinitely harder there, and became so involved I have only yesterday became interested again in my Mitchell etc line. Interesting address quoted – 7 Barony Place (from memory) is the house the Mitchell’s lived in! I do have a private Tree on Ancestry, probably not all correct, put together in haste, but better than loose paper J My G-G Grandfather was James MITCHELL b. 1812 Clackmannonshire – he is as far back as I can go to date. Grandad was Alexander Mather Mitchell last child to be born in Glasgow before the family immigrated to Oz. An amazing man, hugely musical could play any instrument he happened to pick up. A coppersmith by trade, also cooper, made stained glass windows, blacksmith, farmer – he excelled at everything.

Re: MCCOLMAN, CAMPBELL, BELL, GRAHAM
Patrick Fero <pdfero@...>
Not to confuse matters, although admittedly I
probably am, but we've got Muirs in our background also, but can
find no link between them and those being discussed here.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
This is the limited information I have: Nothing much back beyond William Moir
(1818-1861)/Catherine Woodward (1828-1896) except his parents
were likely William and Mary Moir. No direct evidence back
beyond that. Also no direct evidence of any surname spelled
More or Muir other than the belief that all of them stem from
the same gene pool farther back. Our clan likely came from
Aberdeenshire.
The 1861 London Ontario census shows Margaret
and William Moir and three kids (James 1819; Alexander 1824; and
William 1818) living in the same neighborhood as the
Woodwards and the Dwyers (all eventually intermarried). St.
Peter's Basilica Parish records there show our Moirs were
married in 1850 and had child #1 (Isabella) in 1851.
Have not yet found the precise emigration year
or the vessel on which they sailed but it's narrowed to 1848-49.
And, William and three of the six kids all died in the
1861 influenza epidemic (December).
Catherine remarried in Detroit in 1863 to
Patrick Keating and they and the three surviving Moir kids
(Isabella 1851, Daniel 1854, and William1856) moved up to Ovid
in that time frame.
