    3. The Knowledge Base Gazetteer of Scottish Places - http://www.scan.org.uk describes Coll as ' the name of a civil parish from1866 until 1975. Prior to 1866, the island of Coll was in the parish of Tiree.' My ancestor, Flora McDonald, is recorded on her Australian Death Certificate in 1901 as having been born in Tiree, in 1815.( approx) Presumably, therefore, she may have been born on the Isle of Coll, as was her husband Allan McDonald. Can anyone comment on this please. It seems that prior to 1866, the recording of Tiree as a birthplace may mean either the island of Coll or Tiree. Jane Carpenter
