Hi Sarah Sorry, I didn't go to CGS. Back when I was 12 (1982) half of the kids here went to Oban High School as there was a hostel there. Rhona Martin, Jane McNeil, James Brown, Emma Rennie, John & Robin Wilkinson are a few who went to CGS. Nowadays all the youngsters go to CGS. I have been living in Glasgow & Edinburgh for 15 years and just returned to the Island 2 weeks ago. There's a few more job prospects now that the islanders own their own island. I meant to mention the death records info - the GRO site for scotland lets you download copies of the original handwritten documents if the deaths are between 1855 and 1952. I tend to trust the information a bit more when I can see the handwritten entry. Website is www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk and there is a small charge of £6 but that lets you download about 4 different documents complete with deceased's parents names etc. I have found it invaluable in my research. I will keep a look out for your Thomsons. The following people were born in Killean but living on Gigha in 1891: Drumyeon Shore No. 2 William McSporran Age 33 Drumyeon Shore No. 6 Donald McPherson Age 65 High Ardminish Jane McNeill (nee McIntosh) Age 33 High Ardminish Amelia McIntosh (Mum of above) Age 76 Keills Cottages No. 3 Janet Graham (nee ???)
