Hello Janine,
I believe we may have the same Grandfather in Peter McKinnon
(according to correspondence from Jan - JanetPoss65. My father was
Colin. Peter had Colin, Ernest, Sidney, Alec, Maud, Esther, George
and Peter. Your father may have been an uncle of mine? That would
make us cousins if this is true.
I have information that confirms your findings too. My sources have
Mary Cameron born on 29th Oct 1814 and died in Portland, Victoria in
1847. She married Duncan Neil McKinnon on th 7th July 1838 in
Kilmallie, Argyll, Scotland. I have obtained a copy (in pdf) of
Angus's diary obtained from the State Library of South Australia that
confirms what you say.
Yes and Allan and Isabella Cameron are Mary's parents. I can trace
the Cameron line back to Sir John DeCameron V born in 1190 (includes
2 Cameron clan chiefs).
What I am particularly interested in is whether you have any
information on Duncan parents. All I have is that they were Angus
born 1794 in Fort William, Scotland and Kate Cameron born abt 1795 in
Scotland. I would dearly love to have more information on this
couple (eg their deaths, marriage etc) so I could trace the McKinnon
line back further.
My email address in peter.mckinnon(a)optusnet.com.au if you wish to use
that address.
Regards
Peter McKinnon
