Greetings list! I am looking for any Weirs from the above places. The ones from Dunoon still had strong ties with Glendaruel and were baptised in both places. There is also the possiblity they may have originally come from Lochgilphead, but Very Early in the piece. My earliest person is a Hugh Weir (McNuair) whose son WEIR - Dunoon,Kilmodan, Strachur, Stralachlan, Glendaruel David/Dugald/Donald depending where you look - scream) married Catherine Fletcher at Kilmodan in 1792. All their children were born in Dunoon & Kilmun. Their son Dugald (b.1794) married Margaret Mclean from Inverchaolain. They also had a Hugh born in 1796 and Catherine b.1792. No trace of Hugh yet so if anyone has some ideas....? Catherine may have married and an Alex McPhee and moved to Ardnarmuchan/Strontian and her children to Aharacle. Ardnarmurchan seems a fair distance so I presume they would have gone by boat, but to you who know - does it seem too far to be connected? Another query is with the place names. Would they have lived in Dunoon or was that the registration centre for Kilmodan. And when people are born in Strachur and baptised in Stralachlan - it seems awfully close - to Kilmodan to be another parish - and how do I discover which villages are in which parishes - ie Ardnamurchan and Strontian? One more thing that has been puzzling me - Glendaruel is referred to as the Clachan of Glendaruel - Is a Clachan smaller than a village? Thank you all very much Anthea Lowe Ceduna, South Australia _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx
