2:5:5 Sarah Carmichael
was living in Glasgow in 1861. She was a live-in servant with
John Masline McGregor, a hosiery warehouseman and his 2 sisters at 97
Eglinton Street, in the parish of Govan.
Her first marriage was to John Havelock Southwell on
12 August 1864 at 203 Stobcross Street, Glasgow. Sarah was
described as a Domestic Servant, 22 years and John as a Joiner
(Journeyman), 27 years. ( I found no records of John Southwell's
death 1864 - 1871 when Sarah married Robert Penney.) In 1871
census Sarah was a servant at 4 Moss Rd., Moss side, Crossmyloof
and “unmarried”.
It appears the couple had a daughter Alice Ada Carmichael Southwell
born about 1865 probably in Glasgow. At 1871 census Alice
Carmichael, aged 6 years and described as a relative, was living
with her grandparents Angus and Susan Carmichael at Tarbert. In
1881 Alice Carmichael, aged 16 years, was boarding at 91 Shields
Road, Glasgow with Mary Carmichael, wife of Duncan McKeith
Carmichael. Alice's uncle John Dawson Carmichael was also
boarding there and visiting was her aunt, Susan Carmichael. In

at Blytheswood, Glasgow. Donald, a shipping clerk, and
Alice raised their family in Inverness. Alice died of pleurisy at
Telford Terrace, Inverness in 1897 aged 33 years. Her death was
certified by her uncle Dr Daniel Carmichael. At 1901 census
widower, Donald Williamson and his 4 children were at Redfern Cottage,
Inverness along with "aunt" Susan Carmichael, housekeeper,
"uncle" Daniel Carmichael, General Practitioner,widower, and "cousin"
Edith Carmichael.

listed as Baker (Journeyman), 28y, Bachelor; Sarah as a Domestic
Servant, 30y, Widow. The usual residence of both was Crossmyloof,
Cathcart. The marriage was witnessed by Thomas McGregor and
Mary Irving.
In 1881 Robert, Sarah and their first 4 children were living at
Campbell's Land Front, Pollokshaws Road, Strathbungo. Their 3rd
child, Susan MacKeith (sic) Penney, was born at Bellfield Lane,
Portobello, Edinburgh in 1876, so perhaps the family spent a short time
in Edinburgh around this time. In 1879, at the death of their 8
month old daughter, Mary Carmichael Penney, they were at Campbell's
Back Land, Strathbungo. At this time Robert's occupation was
given as Cook (Merchant Service). Sarah at Mary's death still
filled her name out as Sarah Penney, previously Southwell, M.S.
Carmichael.
By 1891 the family, which now included 7 children, was at 31 Govanhill
Street, Govan and in 1901 the family was found at 9 Garturk Street,
Govan. On the night of 1901 census (early April), Robert Penney
was not listed with the family at 9 Garturk Street and Sarah was "Head
of the family". Robert Penney died at 6 May 1901 at Victoria Infirmary aged 57 years. Cause
of death: Fracture of the base of skull. Encephalitis from
laceration. His widow, Sarah Penney was informant.

in 1909 with her eldest son Robert and youngest daughter Sarah.

Avenue. Also living there were Sarah's daughter Helen Forrest and
her 3 children and Sarah's son, Archibald Penney who had all arrived in

TARBERT, LOCH FYNE
Tarbert (Lochfyne) village is situated on the isthmus between Kintyre
peninsula and South Knapdale. Its harbour, East Loch Tarbert, is
an arm of Loch Fyne about one mile in length and three furlongs
wide with an island in the centre. Tarbert was the centre of Loch
Fyne herring fishery and an important centre for trade and
communications.
The appearance of the village is very
pleasing. You have arrived, we shall say, some fine day by the
good ship "Columba", which calls at the outer pier, constructed at a
distance of rather less than a mile from the centre of the village by
the present laird in the year 1866. Choosing either to drive or
walk, you pass on your left hand a very handsome and commodious hotel,
recently erected. Beyond it, and lining the road as it skirts the
water, are about half-a-dozen tastefully built villas, which have
sprung up in the last four or five years. Now you come in sight
of the hoary ruin, the old guardian of the village, which looks down
from its craggy height, unmoved, on the changes which time has wrought
around. Under its shadow a second group of neat cottages with
their gardens has been erected, and proceeding a little further a turn
in the road brings you in sight of the greater portion of the village,
snugly nestling under the shelter of its hills.
