Hi List: In 1840 John Campbell married Margaret Gilchrist at Kildalton. John was born in about 1802 and died in 1872. Margaret was born in 1812 and died in about 1896. Census and birth records indicate that they had children Ronald in 1841, John in about 1842 Betsy in about 1843, Alexander in about 1846, Lilly in about 1848 and Mary after 1851. I can find only one marriage of the children. Lilly married Donald Leitch in Glasgow in 1872. They had a son Neil born in 1872 and Lilly died in 1873. I can find no record of any member of this family leaving Islay. Does anyone know of descendants of this family now living on Islay or anywhere else. Ted Larson

Thanks, Christine. I tried CE Roy and the museum by email. No luck. I know CE Roy had quite a collection of books and was really disappointed when they said it was out of print. Still searching, Carolyn

My MacQuilkans at Kilchoman changed back & forth with names over the years, most of the census records show them as McQuilkans but I know I have one year they were listed as Wilkieson's, a grandson that same census was listed as Wilkie (? just the enumerator abbreviating) & later my ancestor James McQuilkan used Wilkinson when marrying in Glasgow, his children took the name Wilkinson (both migrating to Australia). Other siblings also used Wilkinson or similar names when they headed to the mainland. I never take spellings very seriously & so search for all the variations I can think of when looking for McQuilkans. Originally I couldn't find James (listed above) because I only knew him as James Wilkinson & so had trouble locating his birth on Islay where he had claimed to be born. Once I used a soundex search it appeared under mcQuilkan. My grandfather was still alive at that time & when I told him this alternate name for his grandfather he recognised it & I searched for more of the family. I don't know a lot about the DNA project, so if someone can send me more info I will participate if practicable. Regards, Angela Richmond

My information indicates that you are on the right track regarding James, John and Catherine McLarty born on Islay, are the children of Archibald McLarty and Catherine MacInnes. Beyond their names and where they were born I cannot add any information to what you have. Yes, I am aware that Isabella McLarty (b 1808),married to Douglad McCallum, is Donald's sister. Her first son born in Canada, Duglad McCallum was was born November 09, 1845, in St Andrews, Carrillon, Quebec. This is the same community where Nancy MacLarty's relative, Duglad McLarty, s/o Donald McLarty and Mary Love was born in 1843. I'd say she would be the best resource for you. Now to the Donald McLarty b. November 1839, who appears on the 1900 & 1910 U.S. Census in North Dakota. Unfortunately his parent's names are not listed. His wife's name was Margery who was born in Scotland, in March 1850. Their children were Donald b. May 1878, Christine b. June 1881, Catherine b. May 1888, Maria b. June 1891, Dougall b. May 1896, and David b. July 1884. There were 10 children born to this family and 10 children living at the time of the census. Donald and Margery were married in Canada in 1871/1872. It is possible that the four missing children were born between 1873-1877. I am sorry that I cannot fill in the names at this time. Sharon Huber, Bellingham, Washington

Sorry about the type-o. The marriage date of Isabella McLarty and Douglad McCallum is September 07, 1830. Sharon Huber, Bellingham, WA

Hi Carolyn, Di you try contacting the C & E Roy Bookstore in Bowmore? They had a lot of books on Islay and I can't remember if they had that one in stock when I was there 2 years ago. Their phone # is 01496 810304 or their mailing address is Shore St, Bowmore Isle of Islay, Argyll PA43 7LD. You can also link to info about their which showed some books (I didn't have time to check them all at the moment) at www.islay.com Good Luck!

October 16th Dear Sharon , Thanks for the information. According to notes I have on Islay people Archibald and Catherine also had three children born on Islay, James, John and Catherine.Do you know if this is correct? Did the Donald McLarty in North Dakota say the names of his parents? Isabella McLarty was Donalds' sister . He was my great great grandfather and lived south of Ottawa in a little town called Ste Eugene. He originally settled in Quebec after coming over from Islay but then moved across the river to Ontario. If you have any further leads I would apprecitae them. Now I feel like i'm getting somewhere! Peggy Harris Ottawa, Ontario >>> "Sharon J. Huber" <sjhuber1@comcast.net> 10/15/2006 5:28 PM >>> Peggy, According to the information I have received from one of the descendents of the Archibald McLarty you mention in your posting you can reduce your search by one person. Archibald married Catherine MacInnes and immigrated to Quebec/Canada East in the late 1830's-early 1840's. His son Archibald was born in Quebec in 1841 and son Charles was born in Quebec in 1844. Originally this family lived in Bentinck, Grey County Ontario then moved to the next township South, Egremont. From Egremont they moved to North Dakota and can be found on the 1900 & 1910 U.S. Census. On both census there is a Donald McLarty family in Pembina Twshp, North Dakota that I am certain is part of the McLarty family I am tracing. Donald Indicated that he was born in Canada and that his parents were both born in Scotland. I am related to Isabella McLarty who married Dougald McCallum September 1930. Islay, Scotland. My McLarty/McCallum family settled in Bentinck, Grey County, Ontario.

I'm forwarding this to the Islay List because of at least one mention of a marriage of an Islay person. I have noticed in the past that there are fairly frequent mentions, in these BMDs from the transcriptions of the Wigtownshire Free Press notices in the mid 1800s, of events about Islay persons. Perhaps Wayne could add the Islay List to his distribution?

Hello Connie, My 4GGM is Christina Galbraith died Portnahaven 3 Oct. 1856. DEATH Portnahaven Catharine Galbraith 64 yrs 3 Oct 1856 Spouse: Duncan Ferguson F: Norman Galbraith M: Janet Cameron Reg by - not listed C of D: Fever Res: Port Wemyss I copied this from Ted's list, but will have a look at the original some time soon. The name on the death cert. is given as Catharine, but I believe should be Christina, or Christian, as sometimes recorded on census. Also on Ted's list (thank you Ted) is the following info: Galbreath Norman Kinture Jenet 11 Jul 1793 Kildalton Galbreath Norman Kinture John 12 Sep 1794 Kildalton Galbreath Norman Kinture Angus 17 Jan 1797 Kildalton Galbreath Norman Ardmeanach Lauchlin 25 Sep 1798 Kildalton Galbreath Normand Kenture Christin 9 Oct 1791 Kildalton Interestingly, as you will see above, the cause of Christina's death is listed as "Fever" in Oct. 1856. Her daughter-in-law, Peggy Cameron, died of the same a few weeks earlier and her granddaughter died of the same cause a few weeks later. Have wondered what this "Fever" was - seems to have been contagious - and if it affected other families in Port Wemyss where they lived. On the subject of causes of death, are there any medically minded people on the list who could enlighten us as to some of the more bizarre listings? Poor little Dugald Ferguson died in 1871 aged 8 months of "Teething" yours morbidly, FloraidhAnn Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com

many thanks agus go raibh maith agat for posting on McQuilkin. I would not pay too much attention to the spellings; it is the phonetic anglicised form, so there will be many variations in the spellings. Like my own McCain, which my own family has used McKeen, McKean, McCane, McCein, etc. That would be useful to know if a McQuilkin family was also using Wilkinson, it would do much to support that McQuilkin is really Mac Uilcín, and a diminutive form of Williams. I was hoping we had other Gaelic speakers on this list serve. I wanted to ask them. I do speak Ulster dialect Gaelic, but I've never run into a Mac Quilkin to as him if his name is Mac Uilcín. There certainly is a group of McQuilkins on Islay and then another in mid Argyle. I do hope some of the Islay McQuilkins will participate in the DNA test, that would really sort things out. Barra McCain

Re 7. Is this an Islay picture? (Norma Callicott) I was most interested to see Norma Callicott's family photo. I have a photo of the man fourth from the left and possibly also the man on his right. My photo has been sourced from the photo album belonging to Angus Rutherford Johnston and it was taken at some time later and the hairline has receded. Other photos in this collection date from around 1880 to 1900. I have posted Angus's photo album on the net at http://groups.msn.com/JohnstonsofIslay/homepage and this is photo 18. Unfortunately we don't know who these men are either. Angus Rutherford Johnston was the son of Angus Johnston (1801) and Mary Campbell and grandson of Duncan Johnston (born 1765) and Catherine McIntyre. Angus was born in Glasgow in 1838 showed up in Islay for the 1841 census and then became something of an Indiana Jones figure travelling through South America, was shipwrecked and captured by Indians, joining in on the San Francisco gold rush and then goldmining in Canada before becoming a successful merchant in Nanaimo, Vancouver Island Angus's photos may be Johnstons, Campbells or his wife's family. Fellow Johnstons are encouraged to post their photos on this site to share our images and maybe even join a few missing dots.

My maternal grandmother's family , WILKINSON, came from Argyll; however, one of her g-g-g-g-grandfather's brothers was born on Islay. WILKINSON was McQUILKIN when the family immigrated to the Cape Fear River area of NC about 1760-70. I'm not sure if the surname was spelled McQUILKIN in Scotland, but it was spelled with the "I" instead of the "A" in NC (McQUILKIN vs. MCQUILKAN). I always wondered why all the rest had birth places (in NC documents) in Argyll while this one person is listed with a birth place as Islay.

Peggy, According to the information I have received from one of the descendents of the Archibald McLarty you mention in your posting you can reduce your search by one person. Archibald married Catherine MacInnes and immigrated to Quebec/Canada East in the late 1830's-early 1840's. His son Archibald was born in Quebec in 1841 and son Charles was born in Quebec in 1844. Originally this family lived in Bentinck, Grey County Ontario then moved to the next township South, Egremont. From Egremont they moved to North Dakota and can be found on the 1900 & 1910 U.S. Census. On both census there is a Donald McLarty family in Pembina Twshp, North Dakota that I am certain is part of the McLarty family I am tracing. Donald Indicated that he was born in Canada and that his parents were both born in Scotland. I am related to Isabella McLarty who married Dougald McCallum September 1930. Islay, Scotland. My McLarty/McCallum family settled in Bentinck, Grey County, Ontario. Sharon Huber, Bellingham, WA

October 15th My name is Peggy Harris. Donald McLarty who left Isaly in 1833 with is wife Mary Love was my Great-great grandfather. I am trying to trace four of his other siblings who did not emigrate to Ontario. They are Dougall, James, David and Archibald. If anyone has any information or ideas I would welcome them. Apparently some of the brothers may have gone to the U.S. or South Pacific.
