I would like to know if Arisaig is part of Argyll or Inverness? I have an 1900 obituary from Nova Scotia saying my Colin McDonald was born in Arisaig, Inverness-shire, Scotland. But looking for it, I found some info saying it was/is in Argyll. From the age given he should have been born around 1811. I would appreciate any help, Tracy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Tax Center - online filing with TurboTax http://taxes.yahoo.com/

South Knapdale is a Parish of the county of Argyll. It is located along the west coast just north of the Kintyre peninsula along the Sound of Jura to the east of the island of Jura.

Slàinte, -- Lachie Macquarie. Well it looks like rain and I hear a train, But I'm not going to cry.

I believe that South Knapsdale was/is a town as I have several of my ancestors listed as being born there prior to 1821. Judi McRae Grandaughter of a Campbell

--- a website about the history of the area would also be nice--- A really fun website for history of the various Parishes can be found at http://edina.ac.uk/cgi/StatAcc/StatAcc.cgi The Statistical Accoounts from 1791-1799 are printed for each parish. I haven't looked at 1845 because my ancestors left Scotland before that.

Hi, I am new to the list and Scottish genealogy. Can someone tell me if South Knapdale is a town or parish and the name of the Catholic Church or churches I could contact to find out baptism information from 1831? Or a website about the history of the area would also be nice. I found some info on the familysearch website and would like to find out more but I don't know much about the area.

Hello Ken I hope you might see my ancestors gravestones in the Appin churchyard. I hadn't imagined they could be so readable IF they indeed were buried in Appin and IF the family could afford a gravestone. I am descended from Allan MCPHERSON who died in 1863 in NSW Aust his occupation as when he arrived in NSW in the 1830s was a sawyer His age 63 and he is said to have been born in Appin Argyllshire Scotland s/o Donald MCPHERSON ,farmer, & Mary MACLACHLAN (this is also the name of his wife) If you could keep a lookout for Donald MCPHERSON & wife Mary I would be very grateful Background: Allan married 1834 in Argyll according to his death cert He became part of the general depopulation of the highlands His first? child christened Nov 1834 in Glasgow and the next known also in Glasgow in 1837 then the next in Sydney NSW in 1839. The next child was baptised in a then remote outpost on NSW South coast. At the same time Donald MCTAVISH was baptised - his brother married Allan's daughter Mary. Their father was Donald MCTAVISH & Mother Janet FRASER possibly born 8 Feb 1807 Boleskine, Inverness, Scotland Father: William FRASER Mother: Christian MCPHERSON Seems that they were all distant cousins. Mary McLaughlin Allan's wife I suspect was born 20 Nov 1808 Glassary, Argyll, Scotland F: John MACLACHLAN M: Margaret MACTAVISH The surnames repeat thru the generations, sorry to give so much detail.

While we are on the subject of McColls, there is a McColl cemetery in Elgin County, near Lambton County. I purchased a copy from the Elgin County Genealogical Society. My great grandmother Ann McColl married to Donald McPhail came out to Canada in 1885 when she was about 65. She died in 1915 and is buried in Gillies Cemetery. We surmise that the McColl connection brought them to Elgin County. Ann McColl was born in Lismore about 1819.

Hi, My apologies to the list - I realised too late that I sent my "cry" to the ARGYLL list instead of the STIRLINGSHIRE list. I did get some replies this time - THANKYOU for your 'wasted' time. Michelle Darwin, Australia

It's been brought to my attention that I didn't include all of Dean Currie's Argyll Census pages in my previous emails. I've tried to teach everyone to fish for themselves, but some people prefer to be given the fish.

Folks, I'm just back tonight from an idyllic weekend in Appin in the most glorious early-April weather I can remember. We visited the ruined church and grave yard behind Keil Farm at Duror, and someone has been busy there tidying the place up and cleaning grass back form the old flat slate grave slabs. Many of the are over 200 years old, but, as they're carved from thick Balachullish slate, the inscriptions are as clear as if they had been done yesterday. I spoke to someone from the local historical society, and got the impression that a survey of Moumental Inscriptions had not been made. However, I do know that there were quite a few McColls, Buchanans and naturally Stewarts (including a plaque to James of the Glens). I'll check if MIs have been completed, and if not do a quick survey myself next time I'm there, as it's quite a small graveyard.

I. B. Duncan, by license. Ellen Buchanan, aka Helen, is the sister of my ggrandfather John Buchanan. I had many questions upon finding these marriage records. -Are Christina McLAUGHLIN & Isabella McLAUGHLIN related, possibly sisters? - Are Christina McFARLANE & Donald McFARLANE related? - Neil McCALL, the witness, was a neighbour of the BUCHANANs in Plympton, but is there a family connection as well. The Buchanan's came to Canada in 1851 when Ellen was only 2 months old, first to Puslinch Twp., Wellington County, Ontario, where they rented property and then to Plympton Twp., Lambton county where they purchased lot 28, 12th concession, Plympton twp., lambton county, propery which backed up to the farm owned by Duncan's brother, Hugh. I'm not sure when the McColls arrived. I hope this is of some help. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who can answer any of my questions as well. Dorothy from Ontario

Edd, When I visited that area in June last year, I photographed a number of tombstones in Appin/Portnacroish , a few of these were McColls as well as the Buchanans for which I was searching. Some, because they were overgrown with moss, etc, did not come out clearly enough in the pictures for me to transcribe. I hope these might be some of the ones for which you are searching. I believe some of them had also been tenants on Invernahyle farm in that area, as were the Buchanans. Maybe someone with access to cemetery transcripts there could help you out more. 1.In memory of Donald MCCOLL, fox hunter, aged 93 Also his wife Ann RANKIN, died 6 July 1880, aged 86 2. In loving memory of Flora MCCOLL, beloved wife of Alexander MCLEAN, died at Achosrican, 18th May 1942 Their son, Paul, died 13th May 1945, aged 48 years The above Alexander McLEAN, died 24th Oct 1959, aged 96 years Their daughter Helen McCOLL, died 4th March 2000, aged 95 years. Coincidentally, McCalls/McCalls were next door neighbours in Lambton Co., Ontario of my gggrandparents. I believe there are also some buried in the Cemetery there if you are interested. Somewhere in my collection I also have a couple of marriage records involving McCall/McCalls. I'll send those along to you too when I rediscover them. Good luck in your search.
