Angus Macleod - Ancestors

Here's one....

You changed his name from Rory to Roderick.

Roderick "Old Ruari" MacLeod, 10th of Lewis

Why?

•John, who died before his father, having been killed near Stornoway by his bastard uncle, Rory Og

It will have been observed that Old Roderick, the date of whose death we are unable positively to fix, had also five bastard sons — Torquil Uigeach, Murdoch, Neil, Donald, and Rory Og, all of whom, and their sons, took a leading part in the final struggle of the Macleods to maintain their ancient rights to the great Island principality of the Lewis."

The MacLeods, like everyone else from the Isle of Lewis, were Gàidhlig speakers. "Rory" is an Anglicization of Ruairidh, and "Roderick" is an Anglicization of Ruairidh Oig. Nobody on Lewis would've actually used "Rory" or "Roderick"; only Anglophone writers would.

If you're going to work in the Hebridean branches, I'd encourage you to familiarize yourself with Gàidhlig naming conventions the way that Tamás has. It's essential.

Here's an intro: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_Gaelic_name

You'll see why Mary Anne Trump is only "Mary Anne MacLeod" in English, after being born and raised as Màiri Anna NicLeòid.

I am afraid that my knowledge of Gaelic naming practices is also lacking. I only changed the name to be inline with the family tree on macleodgenealogy.com, as I expect that they know more about Gaelic names than I do: http://www.macleodgenealogy.com/ACMS/D0028/I8592.html

In addition, Old Rory, was the nickname of Roderick "Old Ruari" MacLeod, 10th of Lewis's father, Roderick "Old Ruari" MacLeod, 10th of Lewis and so I assumed that the name for Roderick Jr of Rory "Og" Macleod of Lewes (aka Old Rory) might be a mistake and would cause confusion.

I don't have a path to these people....I have an 8 lane interstate.

Can you break this down to simple language....

Records of Elgin

January 29th, 1542 - The assise fand and deliuerit that John Bayne wrangit in the defamyng of Sir James Kar in the saying that all his motheris barnis war commond thevis. The assise deliuerit that John Bayne wrangit in the avayhalding of ane dayis burd ilk fyftene dais sen the viii day of Maii last bypass fra Sir Thomas Kar and sall content and pay the just awaill thairof.

The assize found, and delivered [its judgement] that John Bayne wronged in the defaming of Sir James Kar, in the saying that all his mother's children were common thieves. The assize delivered [its judgement] that John Bayne wronged in the withholding of one days board in that fifteen days since the 8th day of May the last, and shall make things well and pay the rightful use thereof.

(John Bayne shows up throughout the Records of Elgin at this time, neglecting to pay for his board.)

Hello Cheley.... Yeeehaaaa!!! to you too!

Well, it doesn't sound like John Bayne and James Kar were the best of buddies. I am trying to determine if their profiles are on geni.... do you know? I did update my 10th great grandfather's profile which I got from ancestry, if you want to look....

John Bane

Thanks Anne for the translation.
