In my search of the ancestors of Donald Cameron & family, who
emigrated to New Zealand in 1840 aboard the Blenhiem, there is
mention of Catherine & Isabella Cameron of Swordle, Ardnamurchan
referred to as being cousins of Catherine McFarlane (nee Cameron),
daughter of Donald in her will of the early 1900's.
After searching the various census (1841-1901) and BDM records I have
tenatively pieced together what I think could be the Catherine &
Isabella referred to. The family appears to be able to be traced back
to the 1841 census when they lived at Gortenfern as follows ;
