I'm Gregor MacCormick noticed your query about MacCormicks from Lismore.
Neil MacCormick who was married to
Elizabeth Davidson was my granduncle. I knew the family very well.
Kate and Gertrude died as young girls
during the great flu epidemic during 1918-19.
Alister died 1968 and Helen died about
1970 and Annie in the photo died in 1972.
Annie didn't marry.
They were all cousins of my father.
Neil's daughter Lyndsay MacCormick died
recently and her family have sold Daisybank around 2 months ago.
Lyndsay had 2 daughters who live in
Glasgow.
There are several of my family still in
Lismore. My Brothers and sister.
I myself live in a small farm in Appin.
which is just across the water from Lismore.
Hello
I have been doing some family history
research and by chance was able to identify the origins of the lady in
the photo below which has been in my possession for a number of years.
All it had on the back was 'Cousin Annie McCormick' and I wasn't sure
where she fitted in. It seems she was my Grandmother's first cousin
born to Neil McCormick and Elizabeth Davidson on Lismore in 1893.
Brothers and sisters as at 1901 Census included Helen, Alister, Kate,
Gertrude,and Neil. The family lived at Daisybank, her father's
occupation was given as Tailor, Clothier, Grocer and Gen Merchant, I'm
guessing a comparatively well off family. My gg grandfather Alexander
Davidson died there in 1912. It must have been quite unusual for a girl
to go to University in those days, if she was 18 when she went it would
have been pre WW1. Not sure if she ever married, guessing her
generation of partners would have been decimated in WW1. 2 of her
Perthshire (Davidson) branch 1st cousins, my great aunts, are still
alive at 96 and 92!
