Irvine 3.10.1818, d. London 25.1.1896, (his grandfather Malcolm Macmillan tacksman of the North Cock) 57 by Margt Kelso imo h. Neil McMillan, Cock, d. 18(13) 41 58(next 57) by Alex McMillan of Butt Lochranza d. 1.1853 69, w. Cath Kelso 19.1.1867 84, chn. Cath 1810 15m, John 1838, 18 59 Malcolm McMillan tacksman of the North Cock aged 87 yrs, s. Malcolm 20.4.1805 25y9m, w. Janet Kerr, d. at an advanced age, s. daniel aged 76 60 by Janet McMillan 10.8.1877 80 imo stepmo. Mary Kerr innkeeper here d. 12.2.1838 69 I can't find anything in the memorial inscriptions that relates to Duncan Macmillan, however. I have just discovered in our public library an index of burials for Bute(shire) in the nineteenth century. It is accurate but the year given is not necessarily the year of death (for that I guess you have to get the LDS film). It includes: Alexander Bannatyne, Farmer, spouse: May Gray, Kilmory Parish, entry: 0023, year: 1856, LDSfilm: 0256423. Catherine Bannatyne, Deceased, spouse: Donald McMillan, Kilmory Parich, entry: 0019, year 1856, LDSfilm 0256423. Elizabeth Bannatyne, 78, spouse: ? McMillan, Kilmory Parish, entry: 0023, year: 1856, LDSfilm: 0256423. Elizabeth Bannatyne, Deceased, spouse: Robert McMillan, Lochranza Parish, entry: 0019, 1872, LDSfilm: 0300324 McMillan, Donald, Deceased Farmer, spouse: Catherine Bannatyne, Kilmory Parish, entry: 0019, year: 1856, LDSfilm: 0256423 A good book about the Arran Macmillans may be Charles Morgan, "The House of Mcmillan, 1843-1943", London, 1943. Hope this is of some help. Regards Peter
