    3. This is my first listing at this site, and I would welcome responses from descendants of the families who may connect with mine. ARCHIBALD MCPHAIL, was the oldest child of John McPhail and Elizabeth Drummond and was born Killen Perth (I think) in 1812. His siblings were Donald (1814) John (1816) Peggy (1819) Magret (1821) and Angus (1823). Archibald married Jane (Jean) MCFARLANE of Tarbert Dunbartonshire in 1846 and they had 4 children John McMurrick1847,George 1849, Andrew 1851,Agnes Smith 1852., all born at Tarbert or Luss. Jane McFarlane McPhail died aged 30 in 1854 .(Luss or Tarbert) Archibald(42) and sons John (16) and George(14), emigrated to Australia in 1863 , and Andrew and Agnes Smith followed in 1878. Are there any descendants of Archibald McPhail's siblings ( Donald, John, Peggy, Magret, or Angus) out there? Also Jane MCFARLANE may have had a brother, George who was a Registrar of the Poor, Closeburn? and died aged 92 , in 1924. I have a copy of a tribute written for him by Rev C Rolland Ramsay,when George (unmarried) died. Were there other Mc Farlane siblings to Jane?. Her parents were George MacFarlane and Agnes Smith. There may be a McFarlane link with a place called "Coilah" at Tarbert. Can anyone link with this family? Thanks , Beryl (Great great granddaughter of Archibald and Jane McPhail)
