Hello! I am downunder here in Australia, and hoping that someone can help me!! I am looking for a place called - I think - FRIESLAND in Argyll. I cannot find out anything about it, the Gazeteer is no use at all, except to say it was, or is, a settlement in Argyll and Bute. Would it be anywhere near the Isle of Skye? Sorry to be so ignorant, but Scottish research is new to me. I would really appreciate any help anyone can give, Regards, Anne Major - Melbourne, Australia

Friesland is on the island of Coll, the link below will take you to a map which you can zoom in on. http://www.findachurch.co.uk/grid/nm/nm15.html Katrina ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anne or Gordon Major" <gamajor@ozemail.com.au> To: <SCT-ARGYLL-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, October 07, 2002 8:21 AM Subject: [ARGYLL] Friesland > Hello! > I am downunder here in Australia, and hoping that someone can help me!!

John McNAIR and his wife Margaret McLEAN lived at Achantain from their marriage about 1820 until after the birth of their first child in 1821. Their second child was born at Miltown in 1823 but by 1825 they were at Craigendain near the head of Loch Striven. If anyone is researching this family I would be pleased to hear from them, and I would greatly appreciate any information about the three places mentioned above, whether farms, crofts or what? John's sister Margaret was my grgrgrandmother. Mary Hamilton

On an census extract from 1901 I have a profession which is part illegible and I have no idea what it is. Henry McIntyre born 1863 Inveraray was on the 1891 census and I know he married in 1907 and worked as a joiner at Ardkinglas Estate. But the only Henry McIntyre I've found for the 1901 Census is in Glassary and though the age is correct his place of birth is given as Glassary not Inverary and he has a wife. When he married in 1907 he was 43 and gave his status as a bachelor but I am wondering if the two Henry's could be the same person. So does anyone know what a Canal Fuarrier(?) is. I'm not sure what the second word is as it has been crossed through with the words Blue Whim added in brackets. If anyone has any ideas or wants to have a look at the extract I can forward it as an attachment. Thanks Katrina

Seeking information on John McBryde and wife Mary Gilchrist McBryde of Kintyre, Scotland. Immigrated to Robeson Co NC, USA about 1770. Daughter Sally McBryde born in Kintyre about 1767. Sam West Lumberton [Robeson Co] NC, USA

Hello List, On the same page as the death registration I had asked for, were these two. I am posting them to the list in case anyone may recognise them. 6th July, 1878 at Portachoillem(?), parish of Kilcalmonell. Margaret MCPHAIL, aged 6. Father John MCPHAIL, farmer. Mother Margaret MCPHAIL, m.s. THOMSON. Cause of death - malignant sore throat, Diphtheria, 5 days. Informant - John MCPHAIL, father (present). 8th September 1878 at New House, Kilcalmonell. John TAYLOR, aged 70. Single. Father - Archibald TAYLOR, agricultural labourer (dec) Mother - Catherine TAYLOR, m.s. MCBRIDE (dec) Cause of death - apparent dropsy. Long ailing. Informant - John TAYLOR, son (present) Ailsa Petrie Hamilton New Zealand

Hello List, I have today received the death registration for my gt gt grandfather, Neil THOMSON, in Achaglass, Kilcalmonell Parish, Argyll. Neil was 85, which gives a birthdate of around 1793, although I don't know where. The registration gives his parents names as Donald THOMSON and Mary m.s. also THOMSON. Although THOMSON is a widespread name in Argyll, if anyone has these particular THOMSONS in their files, please make contact. Best wishes Ailsa Petrie Hamilton New Zealand

The local newspaper for Campbeltown is the Campbeltown Courier. I would have thought that a murder would be recorded in the Glasgow Herald and if so the Mitchell Library in Glasgow would have copies of the relevant paper.

I am doing a little work on my great uncle's Macpherson family. In research he did in the 1950's he mentiones two farms in relation to a number of ancestors: John Macpherson, 1745 - 1810, tenant farmer at Gortanafaull, Kintyre, Angus Macpherson, 1776 - , Tacksman at Drimavou, and John Macpherson 1807 - 1856, Tenant farmer at Drumavou. Can anyone on this list enlighten me on either of these farms (position, owners, etc.)? I understand that Dri(u)mavou is near Clachan. Thanks Jim Winter, Newfoundland, Canada.

I have just downloaded two of the MUTTER wills from Scottish Documents and, unlike the PRO wills they don't come on Adobe Acrobat. The site says something about recommending using them with software that lets you zoom in and out. I'm computer illiterate. How do I get what I've downloaded into such software? Thanks, Joan
