Malcolm Brodie, born 1802 in Glassary parish, (parents Hugh Brodie and Sarah McKeown) married in 1824 in Kilmartin parish, Mary McTavish (parents Hugh McTavish and Catherine McLachlan). Malcolm and Mary lived in Kilmartin parish, and had six children, Mary, Hugh, John, Donald, a second Donald, and Marion, and then some time between 1836 and 1841 the family left Kilmartin and moved to Alexandria in Dunbarton, where their youngest daughter Mary was born. She is my great grandmother. After moving south the surname McTavish became, over the years, Thomson. In the 1841 census of Alexandria Mary Brodie (nee McTavish) and her daughter Marion are not listed as being with the rest of the family, and I suppose it's possible that they may have returned temporarily to Kilmartin or Glassary. If anyone recognizes any of these names I'd be glad to hear from them. Moyna Harland Australia
