So sorry, Edie. Read the name wrong and it is MacGregor not MacArthur. Most annoying as I grew up in a town called MacGregor and misread it. Getting too old, I guess. ): really don’t feel that way, bu

Thank you Edie. So many people in Scotland came to Canada, Australia, New Zealand, USA and South Africa when times were so tough in Scotland. Many who stayed were sent to homes which this site proves.

Thomas Smith b 1854 in Shetland
Thomas was born to Laurence Smith and Anderina Eunson/Yonson. He is the only one in this Smith family I cannot find. Thomas was living with in his Mothers home in the 1871 Census but then disappears.
