Hi, Does anyone have any information on Margaret (More) McSporran born about 1774, she married John mcSporran on 16 August 1797. Their children were John, Barbara, Cristin, Christina andf Archibald. Thanks, donna.

Does anyone have acess to the 1841 Census for Campbeltown. I am looking for information on Neil McMillan and his wife Christina McSporran they would have 3 children at this time, John about 5 years old, Marion about 4 and Elizabeth about 1 year old. Neil would be about 25 -30 years old. Thanks, Donna.

Every year at this time, and up to 4th July, the entire US media inundate us with information on the Declaration of Independence, and the men who "wrote" it. One never hears a thing about it being lifted straight from the Declaration of Arbroath, written in 1320. Let's inform our local media of the facts in plenty of time before 4th July. E-mail and fax are the most effective, as letters take ages to arrive since the anthrax scare. The following is from the web page of the Department of Geography at Edinburgh University. You can find the actual document in both English and the original Latin on www.google.com >Although the English armies under Edward II were routed at Bannockburn in 1314, and by 1319, with the recapture of Berwick, effectively expelled from Scottish soil, they continued to mount attacks into Robert the Bruce's Scotland over the succeeding years. The Pope had not accepted Scottish independence, perhaps partially because Robert the Bruce had been excommunicated for killing John Comyn in a church in Dumfries in 1306 (Comyn had formed an alliance with Edward.) Thus the Declaration of Arbroath was prepared as a formal Declaration of Independence. It was drawn up in Arbroath Abbey on the 6th April 1320, most likely by the Abbot, Bernard de Linton, who was also the Chancellor of Scotland. The Declaration urged the Pope to see things from a Scottish perspective and not to take the English claim on Scotland seriously. It used strong words, indicating that without acceptance of the Scottish case, the wars would continue and the resultant deaths would be the responsibility of the Pope. The Declaration was signed and bore the seals of 38 Scots Lords. It was conveyed to Rome and the Pope accepted the Scottish case. > Eileen Herkes, NY

Dear Mr. Hyndman, In answer to your inquiry of June 14, 2002 From the Duke of Argyll's personal Census of Kintyre in 1792. From the index of places is shown : LAGGAN, Parish of Kilchousland. Sorry ,but there are no HYNDMAN surnames shown living on this farm in 1792 However on farm DRUM GARVE which is shown to be adjacent to farm LAGGAN is shown a tenant named MARY HYNDMAN AGE 60 Also a John Blue age 65,William Blue age 20,Janet Blue age18,& Barbara Blue age 14 So Mary must be John Blue's wife As farm CULINTRACH is not shown in this census then it was not part of the Duke of Argyll's property in 1792 The surnames McINNES & McMILLAN are shown on several farms on the Duke's property. I hope this information is of some use to you. Happy Hunting---Bruce Arnott (USA)

Hi to all I have started a web page http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~djmack/ which over a period of time will grow to contain a list of all names recorded on the Campbeltown War Memorial. Dave MacKinven Auckland New Zealand davidj1947@xtra.co.nz

Hi All, I have a Donald CAMERON born 29th May 1922 and baptised on the island of Lismore. His parents were Angus CAMERON and Christina MCINTYRE. I believe a few years later Angus ran the South Ballacullish Inn and Posting House. They had other children - Hugh, Clementina, Sarah, Margaret and Joanna. Donald migrated to Australia about 1850. One of his sisters also migrated to Australia. Hugh was believed to be the ship's master and drowned at sea. If anyone has any info on this family or even Lismore and/or Ballacullish around this time I would love to hear more. Many thanks in advance, Cathy, Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia.

Hi! Does SKS have the 1841 census for Campbelltown? If so Please would you see if there is a John CONNOR aged 12y-14y (b.1828) b.Ireland I am interested in the members of the family that would have been with him. I really am most grateful for any help given regards Merrylee

I don't know of these particular people but in the village where I came from (another part of Argyll) the stationmaster did indeed live over the station so your hypothesis would probably be correct Jean ----- Original Message ----- From: "Les Hewett, Napier, New Zealand" <ljhewett@ihug.co.nz> To: <SCT-ARGYLL-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 9:31 PM Subject: [ARGYLL] DUFF AT DUROR, 1900'S > Any lister with knowledge of John and Cissie Duff of Duror railway station, 1915+.
