around the mid 1850's -
here are some of the names in the book.

From Elizabeth Brownell:
The Ian MacDonald book you refer to - according to the IGI
John MacDonald married Isobel MacLennan 27 January 1865 Glen Urquhart
(a Registrar look up unfortunately), and John would appear to be baptised
19 May 1839 the son of Duncan McDonald or McDonell and Janet Grant,
married 26 July 1832 Glen Urquhart and Glenmoriston. A Duncan
that might be possible is one bap 14 Oct 1806 son of Evan McDonell and
Catharine Grant. Cannot find a marriage for them. The name
McDonell might indicate a Glenmoriston connection. They kept the
McDonell spelling in Glenmoriston, a while after Glen Urquhart
people.

From Donnie Cameron:
If memory serves me right Aberfeldy is in Perthshire, Dalwhinnie
for definate lies about 50 miles South of Inverness on the A9 and
is the highest village in the Highlands and home to a fine Distillary.
Corrie
Chule is a misspelling pronounced Corry Hoil who was a very famous
cattle drover and dealer in mid to late 19th century Highlands. his
real name was John Cameron , a self made man who started life as
a cattle herd. He is burried in the old cemetery in Fort Augustus
but hailed from Lochaber.
