    3. Is anyone researching the descendants of Neil LANG or LOYNACHAN and his wife Agnes MITCHELL who married in Campbeltown in 1844? Neil Lang was a fisherman, born in Greenock, Renfrewshire, Scotland around 1821 to Neil Lang / Loynachan and Barbara MILLOY, both of whom appear to originate in Kintyre, either Campbeltown or Killean. Agnes Mitchell too was born in Greenock, around 1822, and her parents, Duncan Mitchell (fisherman) and Isobell MARTIN, both came from the Carradale area of Kintyre. Neil Lang and Agnes Mitchell had at least nine children, though two died in infancy. My information about the other children is incomplete, and I'd welcome information to help complete this line, though I have most of the relevant census records, etc. Outline information about the children is as follows: Neil Lang (1845 - 1930) was a fisherman in Campbeltown and married (1) Mary Elizabeth SILLERS and (2) Anne McKAY. He had at least seven children to his first wife. Isabella Lang (1846 - 1898) married (1) John McKay and (2) James ROBERTSON, and had at least one son to each of them. Barbara Lang (1848 - 1931) married a cabinet maker named Michael BROWN. She had one son who became an upholsterer and moved to Peebles, where he had two sons. Barbara died in Peebles. Duncan Lang (1858 - ) was a fisherman in Campbeltown. He married Isabella McKay in 1882 and had at least four children. Agnes Lang (1861 - ?) was a domestic servant in Greenock 1881, living with her sister Isabella. I've got no trace of her after that date. Mary Lang (1858 - 1936) married a Campbeltown fisherman named John McMillan (1858 - 1936). The couple had at least seven children, some of whom have descendants in Campbeltown. Catherine or Kate Lang (1867 - 1941) married Neil Galbraith McKENZIE, and had eleven children, most of whom married and had children. I'd be delighted to learn more about descendants of Neil Lang and Agnes Mitchell, and can share quite a bit of data about their ancestors and siblings. With best regards Sarah Galbraith
