Hi list, I am looking to make contact and swap info with anyone on the list who may also be researching Leitchs in Tarbert,Loch Fyne, or Inveraray, or Glassary. I am trying to find the parents of John Leitch and his brother Duncan Leitch who arrived in Tarbert,Loch Fyne from Inveraray in 1820. His family may have been living near Inveraray Castle. John and his brother would have been born about 1800. John married a Catharine Carmichael in 1828,in Tarbert and Duncan married a Catharine Macfarlane around the same time. Does anyone have any info on Leitchs from this time? I would love to hear from any one who has.

Hi Katrina While it's earlier than the time you mention, McPhun's 1835 Western Tourists Steamboat Pocket Guide on line at http://cookfmly.rootsweb.com/mcphun1835/ will give you a good idea of the importance of Steamers for travel in Argyll, especially with the limited and much delayed coming of rail access.

Katrina Your question about the distance between Inveraray and Kilmelford and how one would get from one to the other is one which is not answered by looking at a modern map because in this part of the world the modern roads actually take the long way round. Before the age of the motor car. From Kilmelford one would have gone across country (There is still a driveable road) to Loch Awe which one would have crossed by a ferry, which then existed, to Portinnisherrich and taken the route over the hills which was once well-used both by those walking and those on horseback to Inveraray. At a guess the distance by this route is between 20 and 25 miles as against the 45+ miles via Lochgilphead or the 50+ miles via Taynuilt on the modern roads. Frank Bigwood

Katrina Carradale is on the east (mainland facing) coast of Kintyre between Saddell and Skipness (therefore in "Saddell and Skipness" parish).

I'm having a huge difficulty getting further back in time with my McIntyres. I had thought I had it narrowed down but some details kindly provided by Les Horn made me think again. Henry McIntyre born 19.2.1863 to Anne McIntyre at Arkland, Inveraray, father unknown. I have a copy of the 1891 census extract for Inveraray and mother and son are living at Cross Houses Inverarary. Henry's age is given as 29 which is correct for a Feb 1863 birth and Ann's is given as 56 which (if correct) makes her birth 1835-ish. The 1891 census also had Ann listed as being born at Inverary, I found a Anne McIntyre baptised 1836 Inverary to Archibald McIntyre and Christian Sinclair. Yippee, I thought, I've got her. Wrong!!! >From the details Les sent that Ann McIntyre married a John Lorimer in 1875 so she couldn't be my Ann living at Crosshouses, unmarried in 1891. So, I got out my purse and paid the gods at Scotland's People and came up with the following:- Death of Anne MacIntyre 29.10.1904 aged 68 years (1836 birth +/-), single, father Malcolm McIntyre shepherd, mother Janet McIntyre ms Blue, at Kilmelford, Argyll, informant Archibald McIntyre, brother. 1901 census Kilmelford. Duncan McIntyre head single 57 Ag Lab Archibald McIntyre brother single 61 Fisherman Ann McIntyre sister single 63 Housekeeper I did go through all the Ann McIntyre's I could find in the censuses and death records and this one is the only one found that was unmarried and age given was approximately the correct age for Henry's mother. I also knew that she had died before Henry married in 1907. (I did find one other Ann McIntyre who married a Malcolm McIntyre, but the marriage took place before Henry's birth.) So, here's my questions. Is it feasible that the former house servant who gave birth to Henry in 1863 is one and the same as the Ann McIntyre who died up in Kilmelford. Logistically, how easy was it to travel between Kilmelford and Inveraray and could a single woman have travelled to Arkland to give birth to give birth to her illegitimate son? And lastly, if the Ann mentioned above is 'mine', then does anyone know where Carradale is? (The 1901 census states that this is where Ann and her brother Archibald were born). Katrina

Katrina, If you have a regular road map of Scotland to help find the correct area, these maps can really be interesting to browse. Good luck with your search.

An elderly aunt has suggested to me that my 4xg grandfather was born at Correvullin, Ardnamurchan. I can't find such a place on the map but perhaps someone can suggest what it might have been. The only other clues I have are that he is supposed to have been a joiner and boatbuilder; and I know the birth of one of his children shows in the OPR as at Acharacle. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. John in Canberra

My great great grandmother Margaret MACFARLANE was born in 1809 in Lochgilphead, Argyll. In March 1830 she married in Duddingston, Midlothian Joseph GREATOREX born 1806 in Duffield, Derbyshire. A baptism for Margaret which would most fit the criteria is 25 Dec 1809 in South Knapdale, Argyll, parents Dancan MacFARLANE and Ann KERR. a Duncan MacFARLANE bap 1785 Kilfinan, married 1808 Ann or Annie KERR bap 1772, Kilfinan, Argyll. Joseph GREATOREX was recorded on his daughter's marriage certificate as a soldier, and in the 1851 census as a groom - the family obviously moved around considerably as the birth places of their children in the 1851 census are listed as - Robert - born 1835 - Kildare, Ireland Elizabeth - born 1836 - Christchurch, Hampshire Catherine - born 1841 - Dublin, Ireland George - born 1843, Everton, Lancashire. This 1851 census is the only census that I have found that records the family. Their daughter Elizabeth born in 1836 in Christchurch married William NICHOL, and their family appears in the 1861 census in Everton, Lancashire. They and their family moved to Australia in 1866. I have extensive records on Elizabeth and her descendants, but would greatly appreciate any help or advice that anyone could offer in tracking down the remaining family of Margaret MacFARLANE and Joseph GREATOREX or of Margaret's parents. If anyone is related to any of these families, I would love to hear from you. Daph Heiner in sunny Queensland, Australia.

Hi Les, That's great thanks. I'm particularly looking for Walter Ketchin who appears to have been the farm manager at Ashfield. He was killed trying to cross Loch-na-creig-grande on 22 Dec. 1855 aged 30yrs. Any chance of a press report do you think ? Regards and grateful thanks. Roy P.S. Your own adress is bouncing so I've come through the list.

My gggrandfather John Black was born about 1835. in the 1881 census for R&C he states that he was born in Kilmartin. He married Janet Roy in Greenock.
