Have checked Scotlands People for marriage of Archibald and Catherine, but have not found anything even in RC section. Have tried the birth of their children and as yet have not found anything.
Thanking you all for your continued help.
Glenda.

Glenda,
As Potty said there is a special R C parish records in Scotlandspeople.Can't see them being in the IGI .

In 1881 and 1891 censuses? spelling!

just a footnote about Donald - he may have been born in the Isles rather than Ireland.

Catherine

Glenda, do not assume that the Donald in the 1841 is Archibald's brother - relationship's are not shown on that census.

I notice that the family were Catholics - there is a separate section on Scotland's people for Catholic records, easy to miss when you are new to the site.

Son Donald is older than Angus so maybe there was an Ireland wedding!!!
Any ideas on checking out Irish info prior to 1850??
Glenda.

ALEXANDER MC INNES Christening: 22 OCT 1806 Kilmonivaig, Inverness, Scotland
Father: ARCHIBALD MC INNES

Thanks, these are certainally my family connections. Your help has been great.
Rootgatherer has got me interested with Donald being born in Ireland!!
Have contacted Scotlands People and registered with them so will see if I can find out anything there also.
Glenda.

Just posting the Freecen version of the 1841 that Catherine posted. Note the slightly different spelling of the address which corresponds exactly to Angus's Australian property name. Note also Donald's Place of birth.

To me it seems thst your posts from the censes are spot on, even to the piper bit. He brought bagpipes with him to Australia.
would you be able to look at the 1851 post again on Angus please.to see if a Jane Miller is registered there ( future wife of Angus). According to relatives it was assumed that she went into service but they have no record of that.
Also is the name Tirnadrish the name of a property?
Thanks for all your help.

Angus McInnes property in Australia named "Inveroy" which seems to fit in with censes info on mother.
Glenda.

Jane and Angus arrived Nabob 1855 as assisted passengers. Occupation ; farm labourer .
Do not know if there was a first marriage for him, but do not think so.
His marriage notice only gives his and Jane's names. Jane was about 25 and was born Orkney ils. Mother Rebecca Corrigal , father John Miller.
Death certificate. Angus McInnes.
Death ; 18 Nov 1888
Occupation; Farmer.
Age 72
Father; Archibald McInnes ; farmer
Mother Catherine Kennedy
Where born Lochaber, Inverness shire
34 years in colony
Religion; Roman Catholic.
Informant; Son J.J. McInnes.
Other info but not pertant.
Hope this helps.
Catherine's info seems as though it is correct.
I am not informed about Scottish places and names.
Thank you all.
Glenda.

Catherine

If mother Catherine was still alive in 1855, you can search for her death on Scotlandspeople using both her surnames. Just make sure that you select "variants" for both McInnes and Catherine.
With a bit of luck , the informant will be a sibling of Angus. With that it may be possible to identify some of them on the 1841 census and the 1851 census.

Can you confirm please that Anugus was born 1813 and also if it was a second marriage for him please?

Hi all,
I made a reply but the link seemed to break, so please disregard if it comes through twice.
Angus McInnes born Kilmorack c 1813 - taken from ship record and death 1888 certificate,
KILMORACK is name on ship record, writing poor, but easier when you know what to look for.
Marriage to Jane Miller 23/5/1854 at Inverness correct.
Father named Archibald, deceased on ship record 1855 (Nabob) Name written as McInnis, but McInnes on everything else.
Mother Kath still living Kilmorack, Catherine Kennedy, as far as I can find.
Daughter in Aust. named Catherine.
Thank you all for your help. It is much appreciated as I don't know where to turn. Hope this info helps.
Glenda.

I think we need a wee bit more information Ellen on this one. I am with you though regarding the place name. I think your suggestion is far more likely for that surname and the fact that the marriage was in that area.

Nothing on the Search pilot to indicate second marriage for Angus McInnes in 1854 Inverness.
