Hi Sally - No, you will not have been in touch with me before, as I have only just begun seriously researching my McARTHUR line. Can't tell you too much, except that Margaret was Margare McPHEE before she married, born 1837 at either Port Appin or Oban (both have been quoted on birth certificates for children). Her father was John McPHEE (from marriage cert) born about 1801 Argyllshire (from 1841 census. Her mother was Mary LIVINGSTON (from marriage cert) born about 1801 (from 1841 census) 1841 Census Piece: SCT1841/525 Place: Lismore & Appin -Argyllshire Enumeration District: 5 Civil Parish: Lismore & Appin Ecclesiastical Parish, Village or Island: - Folio: 5 Page: 1 Address: Achnacone Surname First name(s) Sex Age Occupation Where Born Remarks MCPHEE John M 40 Cottar Argyllshire MCPHEE Mary F 40 Argyllshire MCPHEE Mary F 25 Argyllshire MCPHEE Donald M 15 Argyllshire MCPHEE Jean F 10 Argyllshire MCPHEE Ann F 7 Argyllshire MCPHEE Margt. F 5 Argyllshire Do you (or anyone else?) know where or what Achnacone is? Village? Farm? And what is a 'cottar'? Have spent HOURS trying to find this family in 1851, but they seem to have disappeared off the map - the only ones possible, and the ages are wrong, are on some remote island in the Hebrides!!! I do know that Margaret was in Glasgow in 1857, getting married to John McArthur, and she was in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia in 1858 having her first child. Hope that info is of help - and thanks for your info - sorry I can't tell you any more about John McPhee at this stage.
