Hi! This is my first posting. My husband is descended from Christina
Cameron, daughter of Angus Cameron and Eliza McInnes. They married at
Strath on the Isle of Skye on 19th December, 1829. They had four daughters,
Rachael, Christina, Anne and Catherine, and a son John (who may have died as
he did not come to Australia with the family.) We believe the family was
"cleared" off the Waterloo Estate, were embarked on the "Ontario",
arriving
in Sydney on 15th December, 1852. Unfortunately, Angus died on the voyage
and was buried at sea. We believe that Angus was born about 1807 at
Keppoch, Lochaber, Scotland. Any advice on how to trace Angus Cameron's
family back further, would be greatly appreciated, and I would love to hear
from anyone else interested in this family. I can supply all the details of
what happened once in Australia. Regards. Margaret McLeod.
