Hi all from Australia, I am seeking any info about the connection of the~ Lawrie~ family which I believe is of the Mac Claren clan.
A relative of mine visited and said that there was a plaque somewhere in the area I would appreciate any info on this if it is correct.
Many thanks in anticipation Andrew Lawrie.

By the way Killen looks like a magnificent place definatley on my bucket list for a visit soon.

Searching for the parents of my gggrandfather Duncan McArthur born in Kenmore or Killin in either 1802 or 1804. We think his parents may be either John McArthur and Elizabeth Maclean or Donald McArthur and Christian Carmichael. Duncan was a blacksmith in Kenmore as were all of his sons so his father might have been one also. According to naming patterns, Donald seems to be closer but I don't want to rely on that. If anyone has any info about John, Elizabeth, Donald, or Christian, please let me know and perhaps I can rule out someone.

Hello

If anyone can help me with info on the staff at the UFC at Lawers in 1890-1910 then I would be most grateful to hear from you. A family member was the Rev at that time and any info on the church (is it still there ?) and the manse (is it still there ?) and how to obtain any info on this period in Lawers history and the church's history/records available, would be wonderful to hear about.

Thanks,

Emma

MY NAME IS MEADE. i HAVE ANCESTORS WHO CAME FROM AYRSHIRE AROUND 1860 TO THE U.S. ONE OF THE FAMILY NAMES IS KILLIN. RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT THEY CAME TO AYR FROM N.E.SCOTLAND LONG AGO. AFTER REVIEWING YOUR SITE I FIND NO KILLINS LISTED. IT IS QUITE POSSIBLE THAT THE MOVE WAS MADE SEVERAL CENTURIES AGO. THE NAME CAMPBELL IS ASSOCIATED WITH THEM IN THE LAST 3 0R 4 HUNDRED YEARS. I WOULD CERTAINLY APPRECIATE ANY INSIGHT ANYONE MIGHT BE ABLE TO SUPPLY. MANY THANKS!

I am looking for any information about Peter (my 2 GGrandfather) or Robert (my 3 GGrandfather) McLauchlan who lived in Killin.
Robert was born in the 1780's and died prior to 1854, while Peter was born 1824 and died 1893 and were from Killin.

Both were crofters in the killin area.

The next generation were found in the Paisley area in the 1880's and were part of the cotton mills era.

My Name id Rod Dunlop from Australia.

I am researching the Rev Alexander McDiarmid, United Free Church minister of Morvern, Argyll whose family, according to Gillies in FAMED BREADALBANE, originated from Carie. I believe Mr McDiarmid retired from Morvern ca1927-30 and returned to the Killin area. I am trying to find out where he is buried and if there is a headstone. Can anyone help please?

Thank you.

Good day, I am searching for my Fisher ancestors. Hopefully someone in Killin will be able to find something for me.
My ancestor Donald Fisher b.before 1757 Killin,Perthshire,Scotland apparently served in Canada with the 77th Regiment of Foot.
He was apparently an uncle to Alexander and Finlay Fisher who emigrated to Canada as well around the 1770's.
I am trying to find imformation on Donald's family; parents,siblings,grandparents etc.

Would anyone out there have access to these old records? if any

Any old family stories of those Fishers' who stayed in Scotland?

Thanking you ahead of time for your help.

[SIZE="3"]Can you tell me whether there is a possibility of learning family history information about a couple who lived in Edramucky during the late 1790s and early 1800s? They were Hugh Cameron and his wife, Barbara Campbell. They had at least two sons that I know of - John Cameron and Archibald Cameron who were born in the 1790s. I have searched the records available on Scotlandspeople.com but what I am really anxious to learn about is where, exactly, what piece of land would have been the home for this Cameron family. I believe they were crofters, but I have also discovered that the father, Hugh Cameron, may have been an innkeeper - a 'change keeper' in Edramucky. If there is any direction or advice anyone can give me, I will be very grateful. Thank you. Maescelyn

Hi

I was wondering if anyone can give me some info on the area Cloichran/Cloichream. My Great great grandfather Donald Mcgregor was born in Killin (1841). His parents were Duncan Mcgregor and Janet Clark. I think they stayed on a farm and believe this area of Killin was a farming community. Im sorry I cant give anymore info, however Im sure it is near Firbush Point. if anybody can help it would be very much appreciated.

Kind regards

I have been searching for months for a marriage between William GRAY b. ca 1810 and a Margaret SWAN b. ca 1810. Their first child Duncan was born Sept. 1841, then Mary 1844, Margaret 1845, William 1846 & Janet 1848, all born in Kilmadock. Then they emigrated to Upper Canada (Ontario) where Jennie, Peter & James were born. Can anyone help me with finding this marriage ?

The only Margaret SWAN I can locate is a daughter of John SWAN & Ann Fletcher who was born in Killin on 19 July 1820. Would anyone have any info on these SWANs ?

I found a marriage on the IGI between a William GRAY & and Margaret LEVAN on 10 June 1841 in Kilmadock and I'm wondering if the names SWAN & LEVAN are interchangeable or transcribed wrong as both names end in AN. The date of this marriage is at about the right time & place.

Thanks for any help,

Hello

It is a while since I last visited but I didn't realize it was as long ago as 31 December 2008 since I posted on the Family History board. I am still looking for my family FRASER of Monemore, Killin, but from reading the posts no one seems to be researching Frasers! If by some good luck someone is, see my post dated as above on page 2.

Since writing then I have discovered that two of DUNCAN FRASER'S sons emigrated to Canada in the 1830's. JOHN FRASER (1808-....) who, like his father Duncan, was a blacksmith emigrated to St Andrews East, Quebec, Canada where he married ANNE FRASER known as Nancy. She was, of course, another family of FRASER'S who had emigrated from Inverness-shire. Their children were Catherine born 1833, John, born 1835, Duncan born 1837, Elizabeth born 1839. No knowledge of John's death other than that he was alive in 1839 but in the Canadian 1851 census his wife was a widow.

Catherine Fraser married PETER DOUGALL in 1852, died 1914, age 80, in Winnipeg, Manitoba. They lived most of their life in Renfrew, Ontario and had nine children.

The other son of DUNCAN FRASER who emigrated to Canada in 1834 was WILLIAM FRASER, born Killin 1810, died 1974 in Toronto, Canada. William had studied medicine in Glasgow, continued his studies in Toronto and became a well respected doctor closely associated with the McColl Hospital and university.

I still know nothing of the son ROBERT FRASER except he was a 29 year old blacksmith in 1841. Nothing at all about the youngest son DUNCAN FRASER born in 1817. Nor anything about ELIZABETH FRASER born 1821.

Other names I am interested in are ROBERTSON, BUCHANAN, McMILLAN/MacMILLAN, McFARLANE.

I won't write more here as I have written quite a lot in my post of 31 December 2008.

Good luck with your family research.
