Hello to all, I have been "listening" on the list for a while, now I would like to post my interests in Argyll. I am at the beginning of my research, so information is brief. In June 1821, Neil THOMSON married Grizel MCCALLUM, Saddell & Skipness Parish. The spelling of Grizel has many variants. They had as family, as per the IGI:- Donal THOMSON, 17 Apr 1822, Saddell & Skipness Mary THOMSON, 28 Feb 1824, Saddell & Skipness, married James STEWART 1848. Meran THOMSON, 28 Nov 1825, Saddell & Skipness Flora THOMSON, 28 Oct 1827, Saddell & Skipness William THOMSON, 22 May 1830, Saddell & Skipness Grace THOMSON, June 1834, Kilcalmonell & Kilberry Neil THOMSON, 6 Jul 1839, Kilcalmonell & Kilberry The 1882 census has provided a William THOMSON, (49yrs) shepherd, married to Sarah, with children Duncan (14yrs), Grace (12 yrs), Sarah (10 yrs) & Mary (8yrs), living in a house called "Achaglas", Kilcalmonell. This is possibly the son. Mary THOMSON was mt gt grandmother. If these names appear on anyone's family tree, please get in touch. I'd like to learn more about this family.
