4th Great Grandparents
Posted by Barbara Mayo on 25 August 2024
Dear Barbara, thanks for reaching out. Sadly we do not know exactly where Anne is buried, but we presume it is in Eigg's protestant graveyard, unless she was a catholic, in which case we are not quite sure in which line inside the medieval chapel which she might be buried in, Depends who she was related to! So yes, it would be lovely to find out more about the family and their settling in the New world if you have more information on this...

McAskill family, The Manse, July 1952
Hi. I have recently come across an album of photos my parents (Norman & Tinnie Crowder) took in 1952 during a West of Scotland Road trip. Those taken on Eigg include 5 group photos of Mr & Mrs McAskill (Isobell?) with children and a full length photo of Calum. I also have a letter from Isobell thanking them for the enlargement of the Calum photo. Her address is The Manse, Isle of Eigg.
It would be nice to know more about the people in the photos and I will happily email opines to anyone interested.
Many thanks
Sarah Stone (nee Crowder)

Past relative on the island
Hello. My Great Grandad lived on the Isle of Eigg, spoke Gaelic and was a ploughman. His last name was McGilvray. Unfortunately, my Grandad didn't pass much information onto me about this before he passed away and I'd love to know more about my Great Grandad and his role on the island etc. If you have any records or information on him, I'd love to receive it. Thank you!
