Hi Sarah Yes the names are familiar but not from my line (so far!). I have been collecting some information on Gigha Galbraiths and am amazed how many different families there are in such a small place as Gigha! No doubt we are related somewhere along the Galbraith line. My line has John Galbreath (b. 1779 Gigha) married to Effie McQuilkan (b. 1811 Killean & Kilkenzie) and also Archibald and Mary Galbraith with all their ancestors. I do have a wee bit of info on your John Galbraiths parents and siblings which I will list here although I am sure you will know all this already. Children of John Galbraith and Isabella McQuilkean: Angus 11 Feb 1805 Donald 13 Oct 1806 Catharine 5 Jun 1810 Hugh 5 Jun 1812 Lachlan 11 Nov 1814 John 24 Aug 1816 I also have death records which I am sure is your John and Isabella. Isabella died 9 Apr 1858 age83 on Gigha (records signed by husband John G) Father - Angus McQuilkan (Farmer) Mother - Euphemia Galbreath (nee Galbreath) John Galbraith died 25 Jun 1859 age 78 (widowed) (records signed by son John) Father - Neil Galbraith (Farmer) Mother - Catherine Galbraith (nee Galbraith) Place of death - Drumayoin the shore, Gigha There are a few people on Gigha that keep some old written records and I plan to visit them sometime soon. I will keep an eye out for your Galbraiths and let you know if I find anything of interest. Is there anything in particular that you are stuck on? I will have a look in the Graveyard too next time I am passing and see if I can find any info there. Thanks Sarah Regards Rona
