Genealogical Research: Thomas Lorne Innes
Database Development: Joseph J. Innes

Web Design : Niall R Scott

This ancestral database was developed from the genealogical files of the late Thomas Lorne Innes of Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. They were made available courtesy of his wife and family. The information represents over twenty years of research into the genealogy of Scottish families that bear the name of Innes, and required numerous extended stays in Scotland to access original material in various archives there.

Structure
The ancestral data accessed by using one of the four indices below. For the Marital Index please see the help button otherwise click on the links.

Main Line and Connected Branches

Group A contains the Main family line (Innes of Innes) along with other family lines that can be connected to the Main Line (i.e. the branches of the clan). They are identified by the name of the place traditionally considered to be the family seat. Within families children are arranged chronologically, sons first followed by daughters and then any illegitimate children.

Unconnected Families

Group B contains families that have not been connected to the Main Line or to a Branch. Each is identified by the name of the husband and wife (using her family surname) who are the progenitors of the family. Children are listed chronologically but with no separation of sons from daughters. There are a few families in this group that might be connected to Group A families, and this is noted on the affected document.

Marital Index by Innes

This is a master Index covering all the marriages in the database. For each line entry in an index the Innes member of the family, either male or female, is listed first followed by the spouse. If there is a marriage between two Innes cousins with the same surname they are listed individually. On occasion couples appear more than once, either in the same document or in different documents. When this occurs they may or may not be the same individuals.

The index identifies the document number and the page number within the document where a couple appear. To facilitate finding entries within a page the names of an indexed couple are in bold type. For example, William Innes and Margaret Leslie appear in document A-23, page 1.

Marital Index by Spouse

    This is the same as the above index but it is organised in order of the spouses name (surname, first name).

Main Line Connectivity

This index shows the relationship between the various branches stemming from the Main Innes Line.

Privacy Considerations

For privacy reasons data more recent than 1916 has been excluded. As a result many families may have had issue that do not appear. This follows the “100 year rule” used in Great Britain.

Abbreviations

Sources are often identified by an abbreviated entry. Those most used in these files are as follows:
