Hi Tom,
I see you have a Kenneth Burnett born in "Dores" Invernesshire. I stayed
in "Dores" for a week in 1998. Its a small village right next to "Loch
Ness". If you have or get to see the film called "Loch Ness" starring Ted
Danson you will see a public house in the film on the shore of "Loch Ness". Well
that pub is in "Dores". I know this does not help your research but thorght you
may like to know that.
I see also you have connections with "Lochgilphead" a small town I have
been to many times as I have very big connections with an large area next to
"Lochgilphead" called " Knapdale". "Knapdale is not a town or
village just a large area including many villages. Your surname "Caulfield" I am
fairly certain it does NOT come from the Lochgilphead area. Why I say this is because Ive
been round all the cemeteries in the area and can not recall seeing the surname. Also
there is only 7 in the "Lomond and Argyll" phone book and only 1 of that 7 is
living in Lochgilphead. I would suggest theres a chance that the 1 in
"Lochgilphead" is related to you.The Caulfield name seems to be a rare surname
as I`ve not found it in either of my two thick surname books of Scottish surnmes and a
another book of English surnames. Therefore it should be easy for you to find more of them
in the area of Scotland they came from. If you wanted the address of the Caulfield in
Lochgilphead I would !
be very happy to send you it. I do have "Kerr" and "Johnston" in my
family tree but they are in the "Knapdale" area.
I know I have not been very helpfull but I hope some of what I have typed is
interesting to you.
Please reply Robert Angus MacMillan of the MacMillans of Knapdale.
