Not sure what name you're looking for, Lorna. Try the search facility as most of Killearnan stone inscriptions are on website. More modern cemetery at Tore not yet covered. Good luck.

An ancestor, Sir George Elder, and his brother John, from here. George born abt. 1770, John in 1766/67. I am looking information about his parents. John went to Sleat and Sir George died in Madras, India, in 1836.

This is where I am told my 3xgrt grandfather William Fraser was christened 1st Nov. 1787 his parents were Simon Fraser and Christian McKenzie. Family story of William being press ganged whilst tending to his sheep aged around 15 years. He went on to fight at the battle of Corunna in Northern Spain 1809, he was taken prisoner by French and held for 7years, he returned home fluent in French. He was a Chelsea Pensioner and was in the 42foot regiment. I would love to prove this story, having difficulty as I do not have his army number, he did get a Chelsea Pension and 1st married Jane Jean McKenzie then Janet McIntyre when he was 72 years old. William died 6th August 1870 in Aberchirder aged 87. I do not know where he is buried.
