Hi Pamela, When you referred to the 1881 Census I think you meant 1861. James McIntyre and wife Isabella (McCOLL) McCALL were in Kilmacolm, Renfrew in 1881 where James was working as a ploughman at Bardrainey Farm. They also had a son Neil with them , he was born 11th Oct 1863 at Milton, Glasgow Re IGI Ref C119281 Regards Charles -------------- Dwelling: Cotters House Bardrainey Farm Census Place: Kilmalcolm, Renfrew, Scotland Source: FHL Film 0203577 GRO Ref Volume 569 EnumDist 6 Page 12 Marr Age Sex Birthplace James MC INTYRE M 50 M Argyll, Scotland Rel: Head Occ: Ploughman Isabella MC INTYRE M 54 F Argyll, Scotland Rel: Wife Neil MC INTYRE 17 M Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland Rel: Son Occ: Farm Servant

Elizabeth said > Unfortunately, the Ileach didn't exist in 1915 and 1924, though possibly the Argyllshire Advertiser and Campbeltown Courier were printed then The original Newspaper was the 'Illustrated Oban Times and Argyllshire Advertiser.'

Dear Listers: Thanks to all for the suggestions as to where to look for my MCINTYRES outside of Scotland. Did a little more digging and found my JAMES MCINTYRE b:1830 Kilchoman on the mainland in the District of MILTON, GLASGOW in 1881 and backtracked to his marriage to ISABELLA MCCALL b: abt 1828 GLENORCHY, ARGYLL in 1860. With his marriage cert, I was able to see that MARY MCINTYRE ms MCEWEN, his mother, died between 1856 (on son, DUNCAN "ARCHIBALD"s marriage she is listed as still living) and 1860. Found her death cert of 28 February 1857 in District of MILTON, GLASGOW. Details of the death cert: MARY MCINTYRE, age 60 - Father: JOHN MCEWAN, shepherd, deceased - Mother: FLORA MCEWAN ms DOW - Interment: BURIAL GROUNDS OF PORT CHARLOTTE as certified by JAMES MCINTYRE, UNDERTAKER- Informant: JAMES MCINTYRE, son (not the same person as the undertaker). I suspect she was born abt 1796-1797 in KILCHOMAN PARISH, ISLAY. Is there anyone on the list that is researching MCEWAN/MCEWEN or DOW of KILCHOMAN PARISH that may have a connection to MARY MCINTYRE ms MCEWEN? And is there anyone on the list who has access to the Port Charlotte burial ground recordsor know where I may inquire? Would like to find out if Mary's husband, DONALD MACINTYRE/MCINTYRE b: 1792 KILCHOMAN is buried there also (between 1841 & 1851)? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, There is alot of sites for Titanic if you try googling for them. Also, www.ellisisland.org has all the immigrants coming to New York and a very easy search engine. It has the passengers that were saved from Titanic also but they are recorded as sailing on the Titanic and the Carpathia (rescue ship). The only downfall of the search engine is that you must have a name to search for. Good Luck Debbie "Seth L. McPhie" <slmcphie@xmission.com> wrote: Does anyone on the list or otherwise know where I can get a copy of the passenger manifest for the Titanic as of two or more days befor sailing.

Hello Everyone, I returned to day from Islay having been there for the weekend and I must say that it was truly wonderful- 70 degrees, blue skies, wild flowers in abundance and altogether magical. For those who have not made the trip be assured that it was worth all the travelling to get there. I am researching McTaggarts and found the Family History Society very helpful.
