<t>Quite right! How absent-minded! Anyhow, the real incident heavily involved our kinsmen the Stewarts, and since it occurred in about 1756,(I think!) Culloden and the Campbell treacheries were very recent. Livingstone boys eventually took Stewart's bones off the gibbet where they'd hung for 9 years...

<t>A bit of a general insight here. A recent TV series of Treasure Island filmed in the Argyll look-alike Dunedin region of NZ's south island reminded me of how pivotal this region was in our British culture. The hanging of Stewart of the Glen at Ballachulish was a big part of this story, when Alan ...

<t>Donald; I've come to much the same conclusion,though by looking at the listed names of Angus's children (Cape Breton) vs Angus (Colonsay,1841 census, and their possible time-lines. By the way, Angus b.1773 would have turned 46 in 1819,old enough to have grown sons. Cheers for now and thanks for a...

<t>Angus Livingstone and his family appear in the Colonsay census of 1841, where he is listed as army private, 60. This is my most likely match. His wife is called Margreat, and the only one missing is my ancestor John, b Feb 7th 1805. John had married Agnes Edmistone by this stage, in 1828, and had...

<t>"Our Uncles all entered her Majestie's service during the last French War either as soldiers or sailors, but my father remained at home." All I've got to go on to tie in my paternal ancestry with the family lore of cousinship to the Doctor is a startling resemblance of my father when he was alive...

<t>I happen to live in Australia by a quirk of fate, but my paternal ancestry is from Glasgow region and Argyll before that. My known ancestor John Livingstone died in 1858 in Tirvageney, from memory. He was the oldest of 8 children, and appears to have been born about 1805. His death record I have ...

<t>In my last post I named my gggg grandfather as Angus McPhail absent-mindedly. He was of course Livingston(e). Donald's posting looks very interesting. I have a Livingstone ancestor who was serving the King, called Angus, who was married to a McPhail, who Steve Wilson lists as known extended kin t...

<t>Hi Sharon; This may solve a family mystery for me. I am definitely descended from an Angus Livingston(e), who was listed as a Chelsea Pensioner (deceased) on his son John's death certificate, as well as on his daughter Ann's. This would mean that he served a considerable time in the King's army o...

<t>The commemorative stone from Culloden, 1746, for residents of Appin and Argyll, was moved from Culloden to a small parish church (now run down, very close to Appin). I photographed this plaque, set into the wall of the now derelict church building, nearly 5 years ago. It referred to the fallen fr...
