I am posting my research interests in and around ELGIN COUNTY, CANADA and ARGYLLSHIRE, SCOTLAND and also MULL. My gg grandparents, DONALD MCPHAIL (1811-1895) and ANN MCCOLL (1819-1914) emigrated from Kilvaree, Muckairn Parish, Argyll, Scotland to Elgin County, Scotland about 1884. They had ten children. Three sons Dugald (1846-?), John (1848-1921), and Archibald (1862-?) remained in Scotland and were involved in policing. Two other sons, Alexander Campbell McPhail (1854-1944) and Duncan (1852-?) preceded DONALD and ANN MCPHAIL, to Canada, arriving about 1882. I believe that they may have stayed with MCCOLL relatives already in Elgin County. I have no information about a son named Donald, born in 1850. He may have died young and the name Donald re-used as a second Donald appears in the family, born in 1867. There were four daughters: Mary, Margaret, Isobella and Ann. Mary McPhail (1845-?) married Donald/Duncan McKenzie and was last heard of in Michigan or Ohio. Margaret (1857-1935) married Joseph Wilton and resided in Elgin County. Isobella (1860-?) may have returned to Scotland and possibly to Lochgilphead. Annie (1865-1956) married William Henry Lethbridge, and then George Dadson, and resided in either Fingal or Shedden. To summarize: Dugald, John and Archibald stayed in uk / Scotland - Dugald in Barrow on Furness, Archibald near Stirling, and John at Kilvaree (after a stint as innkeeper at Ulva in Mull) Alexander and Duncan came to Canada about 1882 - Duncan married another Ann McColl and aended up in British Columbia Mary and Duncan/Donald McKenzie may have emigrated separately (they married in Scotland) - they ended up in Michigan or Ohio Donald and Ann McPhail, with Donald, Margaret, Isobella and Ann, with Margaret's son Duncan, may have emigrated as a group. Family history has it that there were seven tickets. Questions I am trying to answer: 1. Who and where are the descendents of Dugald and Archibald? (UK) 2. Who and where are Duncan's descendents? (BC, Canada) 3. What happened to Mary's descendents? (Mi, USA) 4. Who and where are Isabella's descendents? (Lochgilphead?) I have much information about John McPhail my g grandfather and that line. I am seeking information about his siblings. Looking forward to hearing from others researching this family. Margaret
