16.01.2022 Did your ancestors own slaves? Or were they slaves? The Centre for the Study of the Legacies of British Slave-ownership has been established at UCL. Here you can search a large amount of data with everything to do with slavery ... Here is a small introduction for Sir James Fergusson 4th Bart. Profile & Legacies Summary 1765 - 1838 CLAIMANT OR BENEFICIARY Biography Awarded the compensation with Sir David Hunter Blair (q.v.) for the enslaved people on Rozelle estate in Jamaica as owners-in-fee. Sir James Fergusson [as 'Ferguson'] and Sir David Hunter Blair are identified as 'owners-in-fee' of the Rozelle estate in St Thomas-in-the-East in the compensation records, and the estate appears against the names of Sir A. Fergusson and Sir D. H. Blair in the Jamaica Almanacs in 1811 and then as Fergusson and Blair thereafter. The Rozelle estate had been one of three belonging to Robert Hamilton of Bourtreehill (died c. 1777) who named his Ayrshire estate after the Jamaica property on the building of Rozelle House by Robert Adam in 1760. In 1763, Robert Hamilton sold the Rozelle estate to an Ayrshire neighbour, Charles Montgomery of Broomlands, for 6000. Montgomery in turn sold a half share to Robert Hamilton's step-son William Hunter of Mainholm and Brownhill, and left his own half share to the banker Charles Fergusson, the younger brother of Sir Adam Fergusson 3rd bart. A decade after Charles Fergusson's banking firm failed - it stopped payment 10/06/1772 - Ferguson assigned his interest in the Rozelle estate in Jamaica to Sir Adam Fergusson, who had advanced cash to his brother to avert his bankruptcy. Sir James Fergusson inherited from his uncle Sir Adam Fergusson, and Sir James Fergusson's son Sir Charles Dalrymple-Fergusson of Kilkerran (1800-1849) 5th bart. is described as a 'colonial proprietor' in his ODNB entry (in the context of a brief discussion of his protectionist politics and condemnation of Peel's free trade policy as 'injurious to the colonies'). The 6th bart. is also in the ODNB as 'politician and colonial governor.' https://www.ucl.ac.uk/lbs/person/view/12053

12.01.2022 Have you ever read the Statistical Accounts of Scotland? It's a must do, to find out about the place your Scottish ancestors lived. The Statistical Accounts of Scotland 1791-1845... An Introduction to the Statistical Accounts of Scotland The first or ‘Old’ Statistical Account (1791-99), under the direction of Sir John Sinclair of Ulbster, and the second or ‘New’ Statistical Account (1834-45) are among the best contemporary reports of life during the agricultural and industrial revolutions in Europe. They offer uniquely rich and detailed parish reports for the whole of Scotland, covering a vast range of topics including agriculture, education, trades, religion and social customs. What are Scotland’s statistical accounts? Many people today think of statistics as just figures and tables. In Scotland in the 1790s, ‘statistics’ was a fairly new word. Sir John Sinclair, Member of Parliament for Caithness at Westminster, had heard it from the Germans who used it to refer to a collection of facts about the political strength of a country. The new word was very close to the word ‘state’. Sir John took the notion much further. He wanted a collection of information about the economic and social activities and the natural resources of Scotland. He was sure that his collection of well-ordered facts based on responses by ministers in each of the 938 parishes of Scotland to 171 queries would form an account of ‘the quantum of happiness’ of the communities of Scotland and also be a ‘means of future improvement’. Everything from changing fashions in dress to the different attitudes to smallpox inoculation and resulting high infant mortality between the north and south of Scotland can be studied in the Statistical Account. The ministers’ responses covered topics such as agriculture, antiquities, industrial production, population and natural history, and some were long in coming back. Sir John, however, was patient and eventually, after sending Statistical Missionaries to hurry up late entries and a ‘final demand’ written in red ink, the 21 volumes were complete by 1799.

06.01.2022 I have been studying names, especially Scottish Gaelic names for many years. Do you know what your surname origins and meaning is.

Dictionary of 50,000 surnames and their origins published... Four-year study by linguists and historians of British and Irish records back to 11th century analyses family names A team of researchers has spent four years studying the meanings and origins of almost 50,000 surnames, from the most common to the highly obscure. Some names have been around for many centuries while other more recent arrivals are explained for the first time in the work, the Oxford There are dozens of obvious ones linked to occupations, such as Smith (a name carried by more than half a million British and Irish people), or to place names, such as Leicester, Sutton or Green. There are also many that began life as nicknames, such as Longbones and Goodfellow. But there are also some that could not be guessed at, such as Campbell. The surname used to be represented in Latin documents as de campo bello (of the beautiful field). Actually, the new dictionary spells out that it comes from the Gaelic for crooked mouth. Being so expensive to buy this, if anyone has name that they would like to know about, please ask Dead Man Hunting Genealogy, to see if I can answer. More information on the new dictionary.
