Does this mob look familiar to anyone? I would love to hear from you.
Duncan Ross b. 1778 married Louise (Luzy) Campbell b. 1782 of Loth,
Sutherland. They married in Diurness 02 Jan 1798.
I don't have any other info on Duncan Ross but Louise Campbell's
parents were Alexander Campbell b. 1756 Glasgow and Christina
Sinclair b. 1760 Glasgow. All their children were all born Loth, Sutherland.
1. Hugh Ross b.1814-16 and died 1856 – he was a pilot and unmarried.
2. Christy Ross b.1811
3. Margaret Ross b. 1821
4. William Ross b. 1806
5. Alexander Ross b.1814
6. Alexandrina Ross b. 1822 – Married Maurice Scanlan b. 1815 Kerry
Ireland. By 1861 they had 5 children (Louisa b.1848, Maurice b. 1849,
Catherine b. 1850, William b. 1853 and Helen b. 1860
Alexander Campbell and Christine Sinclair were buried in Balnakeil. The grave was erected by D. Campbell and Alexander Campbell in 1832 (grandsons). But I don’t have any information on them at all. I do know that other than Luzy Campbell, Alexander and Christina also had Eupham b. 1787 and William b. 1784 but I can’t find record of them, their marriages or if they had children.
Another hick-up is Duncan Ross b. 1778 who married Luzy Campbell b. 1782. I can’t find any record to state where he is from or who his parents were. Only that he was a traveling merchant as you found. Duncan and Luzy had a son, Hugh b. 1814 a pilot but died in 1856 or thereabouts. The inscription at his grave states father was Duncan Ross and was stated to be Feuar. Which means the feuar is the owner of the land held on feudal title. I think that is right? So I found it odd I couldn’t find anything else on him. He certainly isn’t around in any of the census.
