Subject: ARCHIE MACARTHUR? IN WALKERVILLE ONTARIO 1911? DEAR ALL ON THE MAILING LIST My name is John MacDonald. I was born in Glasgow and brought up in the WESTERN HIGHLANDS AND ISLANDS, but I currently reside in Andover Hampshire UK. http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=435924&y=145029&z=0&sv=sp102lb&st=2&tl=Postcode+sp10+2lb&pc=sp10+2lb&mapp=newmap.srf&searchp=newsearch.srf My mothers family are Macarthurs from Uisgean near BUNESSAN on the Ross of Mull. http://www.mullgenealogy.co.uk/location.asp?sq=D1 I have recently come across an old postcard dated 1911 from Walkerville Ontario, which was sent to the MULL ADDRESS. I AM ALSO LED TO BELIEVE THAT WALKERVILLE IS AS GOOD AS being in DETROIT??? The only other connective information that I have is that My grandfgather was a John MacArthur and he left Mull to take a Croft on Colonsay www.colonsay.org.uk%2F,,aol with my Grandmother FLORA MACLEOD from Scalpay Harris whom he married in the 1920'S. My Great Grandmother was a Flora MacArthur who had a spinster sister called Maggie. Flora was a single woman and I can only guess why as I have only begun my geanologicaol research. Both women were later taken to Colonsay by my grandfather after he took the croft at Uragig Colonsay http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=139500&y=697500&z=3&sv=139500,697500&st=4&tl=Grid+Location+139500,697500&ar=N&mapp=newmap.srf&searchp=newsearch.srf The postcard is signed ARCHIE and I can only guess that the surname was MacArthur. However he also refers to cousins called Mary and Jim Stewart in the text so the name Stewart in Walkerville at or around that time may also be relevant. The only other information that I have which is less definitive is that there is a croft called Seaview in Colonsay and a Dougie MacKinnon who was at Seaview in Colonsay may have been distant relations of Grandpa MacARTHUR'S. THERE WAS ALSO A (SEA) CAPTAIN MACKINNON WHO WAS RELATED TO THIS FAMILY WHO CAME FROM CANADA somewhere. Of course he may have been the Archie whom I have gussed is MacArthur Any assistance will be much appreciated Yours Aye John MacDonald | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
