McCuaig = McLeod

Is Anglicization the reason for the name change, or does there seem to be another motivation?

Susan, Yes, McCuaig & McLeod are the same. An example in Simcoe County are Duncan McCuaig-McLeod & Margaret McQuilken-Wilkinson of Oa.

I'm away from home so this will be a short reply. Many McCuaigs changed their name to McLeod, most on emigration although there are several on Islay who changed to McLeod and didn't leave. It is not uncommon. g-g-grandfather chose to keep McCuaig but his brothers adopted McLeod when they left Islay. Sue (McCuaig) Visser >> I have a problem.

Hi Susan, Our McCuaigs settled in the Beaurharnois area south of Montreal. I have never seen the McLeod name used with the Beauharnois grouping. Is it possible that Rachel's mother was a McLeod?

PLEASE REPLY OFF LIST, to [email protected] I am tentatively planning a short trip in early October on a houseboat on the Rideau Canal (probably starting from Big Rideau Lake), together with my wife and another couple. I am hoping to trick them into letting me do a little genealogical touring at the same time. I would appreciate any advice from Listers local to that area regarding genealogical wonders along that route, as well as regarding suitable rental companies, or anything else that you think of. We have never been in the area before, so KNOW NOTHING. PLEASE KEEP REPLIES OFF LIST. Ken Harrison North Vancouver, Canada

Hi Gloria, I also have Jackson relatives on Islay. I looked up the records at Finlaggan but drew a blank with Andrew jackson, there are 3 Barbara Clarks but of the wrong age. There are couple of Mary Jacksons born about 1850 but you say it was Paisley. My Jacksons were sheep farmers from the Borders who moved to Islay between 1851 and 1854. There are a lot of Jacksons there. There are only 38 records on the Islay site. I would look up Andrew and Barbara in the Roxburgh area. Hope that helps.

Your relatives occupation makes sense with the time frame....the laird had 'cleared' much of the island and was turning to sheep as were many landowners across Scotland and the decade up to 1851 saw many families leave. I suspect the landowners brought in experienced shepards/farmers to get things rolling in this latest money making venture of that era.

Can anyone please provide information about a Mary Tod Jackson, born 1850 in Paisley? but apparently came from Islay. She is my Great Grandmother but I am having difficulty tracing her birth or her mother and father on the census. Her mother was Barbara Clark(e) and her father was Andrew Jackson who was on her marriage certificate as a farmer. The family always believed that she came from Islay.   Would appreciate any info   Thanks Gloria Slater  

Can anyone assist with info about Alexander Johnston born 1819 Tighcargaman to Archibald Johnston and Elizabeth McGibbon? He is a possible candidate for grandfather of Duncan Johnston Bard of Islay, the age and place are fine but I cannot get any more info. If he died in the early 1840s that would also help to confirm. > Many thanks > James Morison

Hi Stephanie, I see you have teased me out of my arm chair. I agree with you, the only reference is by Margare Earl that I have, but strangely enough there does not seem to be a break in the rental of Solam from 1696 onwards? High up in the hills in Kildalton parish are the ruins of the village of Solum where the plague broke out in the 18th century. A foreign ship of some kind had gone on the rocks near Ardbeg, the women showed a great deal of kindness to the shipwrecked sailors and helped them all they could. In appreciation the mariners gave the women small presents. One lady was given a necklace of Mother-of-pearl which evidently harboured the germs that caused the plague which wiped out the small community called Solum. The village was burned to kill the germs but after some time was rebuilt and the plague broke out again, but this time it was kept in check. (Tales of Islay M Earl) Regards Roger

(Sorry if I inadvertently sent my previous post before it was complete.) I would like some definitive information re. Solam as an alleged "plague village." Peggy earl briefly mentions it in her book, "Tales of Islay, Fact and Folklore," in the section on historical tales. She writes that there was a fever or plague brought to the village in the late 18th century by a gift/gifts from shipwrecked sailors that the village women had aided. I can find no other references to it in any of my books on Islay. I have to wonder if the original simple story has not been embellished in the interests of tourism. My sister has just returned form a visit to Islay and was all full of how they tried to make the walk to Solam (too muddy), "...you know the plague village, where they put food on the rock outside the village every day, until one day the food from the previous day was still there and so they knew the all villagers had perished." I asked her where she had gotten that story and she said from the lady who makes and sells soap - I think one of the Islay House shops - ? When I google Solam, all I get are personal photo postings and descriptions of walks people have taken on Islay, with similar words to what my sister said. Tourist tales. It all sounds very similar to the story of Eyam, in Derbyshire (I think) a true plague village that suffered a visitation of plague in the 17th century. I'm not sure why I'm somewhat sceptical, but after all my trips (4) to Islay, and all my reading of Islay history, I have never heard this. So can any of you (Roger?) shed some honest light on Solam and the plague story? Steffenie

If your man stayed in the army long enough to get a pension then he would be termed a "Chelsea Pensioner" These records are now available on Findmypast.com - the English version of Scotlandspeople. I recently got copies - 6 full pages - of my 3g grandfather's army service records. He served from 1856 to 1875 in India - China - and Ireland. They give you all sorts of info. A real treasure. I was lucky enough to know his regiment. Worth a look. Cheers JOHN SHAW AUCKLAND NZ.

Hi John, Thanks for the information, but it doesn't apply to the one person that I'm searching for. However, I will keep this information of yours, in case I need it in the future!!
