Petah Beverley <dbeverley@bigpond.com <mailto:dbeverley@bigpond.com>> Date: 2004-02-02 Comments: I was very interested to read the guestbook entry made by ROBERT THORBURN on 20th December, 2003. I am also descended from Ebenezer Bradshaw Thorburn who took over the lease of Muck when his father James died in 1864. I am a great grandaughter of his eldest son James b.1859 who also migrated to Sydney(date?). James and Mary Knowles had eight children,number 4, Ebenezer Bradshaw Wallace Thorburn b.1890 was my grandfather. His only child, Robert Bradshaw Thorburn was my father. Although I have known for a long time that my ggrandfather came from Muck, it is only recently that I have become interested in their contribution to the history of the island. Information is hard to come by. An article in 'The Scots Magazine' Nov 1984 does not even acknowledge their stewardship of Muck despite the census records of 1851, 1861 and 1871. I am interested to learn more and thanks for the great photos on your website. Robert Thorburn <robert.thorburn@home.netspeed.com.au <mailto:robert.thorburn@home.netspeed.com.au>> Date: 2003-12-30 Comments: I have just found your web site and it's great. My G.G.Grandfather James Thorburn is shown on the 1851 Census of Muck together with my G.G.Grandmother Susannah (nee Johnston) and sons David and Alexander. James and Susannah had a total of 11 children, one of them , my G.Grandfather Ebenezer Bradshaw Thorburn took over the lease of Muck when James died in 1864. My Grandfather Robert Thorburn (one of eight children) was born on Muck in 1870 and migrated to Sydney in the 1880's. I have quite a bit of information on my side of the Sydney Thorburns. My wife and I were in the UK last year but only got to Skye as we were on a tour but we intend to go to Muck in June 2004 as we will be touring UK for a month by car2.
