Hi Micki, I have just come across a family tree of McEacherns that may be of interest to you. If you enter the name of the person you are researching when you open the SCT-ISLAY ARCHIVE list it connects to Ancestry.com, that will show a list of about 100 family trees of McEachern. You may already know of this link but hope it helps. I am still searching for my Catherine, daughter of Alex&Janet and I am now convinced that she must have been born out of wedlock and not baptised therefore no record. Still looking for her marriage to Duncan McArthur around 1832 onwards. Happy Hunting Dona On 10 Jan 2006, at 03:40, Micki McEachern wrote: > Hi Donna > I'm working on the McEachern line as well.

Just for fun, I'm sending this question to see what kind of feedback there is - The couple had a good marriage - but it was a confirmed common law union. They lived together for 42 years. Are their children illegitimate? I don't want to clog up the list with responses, so please respond directly to me off list. Cheerio Sue Visser genealgal2 at execulink dot com

I have a couple of comments about jumping to any conclusions because a record cannot be found in the OPR. 1. There are many illegitimate births noted in the OPRs so that wasn't a reason for exclusion. 2. Records are only as good as the record keeper - sadly some ministers didn't keep good records. 3. There were periods when there was a fee for baptisms, marriages and funerals - perhaps the family couldn't afford the fee? 4. Was the family Baptist? If so, there wouldn't be an infant baptism. I'm sure others can add to this list of possible reasons why you cannot find a record. We must not jump to conclusions. I know people today who have not had their children baptised for a variety of reasons so will the researcher of the future assume illegitmacy? I hope not. Cheerio Sue Visser

Hi Ian My computer has been down for several weeks now. I'm just getting up to speed again. I think your Catherine is different from mine. but there may be a connection elsewhere. I know other McEacherns from Islay, there seems to be two separate branches from opposite sides of the island. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ian McEachern" <mceachern@wn.com.au> To: <SCT-ISLAY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 09, 2005 8:40 PM Subject: [SCT-ISLAY] Leitch > Micki,Catherine Leitch was married to Neil "Bahn" McEachern, my 4th gt grandfather.

Hi, Someone mentioned the Argyll list and I was wondering how to get on it? Thanks, Connie Sinclair

I have an Isabella Campbell from Kildalton who married an Alexander McDougall in 1838. Isabella was born about 1820 and was over 20 years younger than Alexander. They had 2 daughters, Margaret b. 1838 and Ann b. 1840. Alexander McDougall died in 1843. Any connection? Celia.

Leona Taylor's post reminded me of one of my many half-done/undone projects. Thanks, Sue for forwarding this. In the on-line indexes for British Columbia, Canada Births (1872-1903); Marriages (1872-1929) & Deaths (1872-1984) are 29 references for the given name "Islay". (There are also 22 listings for "isla"; 84 listings for "Ila".) I have always intended to have a look at these registration details, suspecting as I do, that almost all have an Islay, Scotland connection. (Although my brother has a friend who was 'named for the whiskey'.) If anyone would like me to look up one of these event registrations, I can do that next week. (Then maybe I can move this little project higher up on my list.) Happy New Year, all, M.

This is what I know about my ggrandfather: John Johnston born about Jan 12, 1833, emigrated to Canada around mid 1850s, may have departed from Greenock after staying with a relative. parents: John Johnston and Agnes Mc... looks like McLoc on a marriage cert, but we always thought that a McLean was in our family. He always said he was from Islay. I know a lot about his after he came to Canada, but it is his Scottish roots that I would like to delve into. Wish I had more. As your Alexander Johnston and Mary Graham did not have a John, perhaps a relative of Alexander did. I have a photo of my ggrandfather which I've put up on the web at: www3.telus.net/artnorma/johnston. We've always wondered if this was taken somewhere on Islay. If you do not have any information that would fit into this, perhaps someone you recommended does.

The Angus BUIE, who Janet CAMPBELL d/o Donald Campbell and Ann SINCLAIR of Islay, was born c1788. Angus BUIE had previously been married to Catherine McCOLMAN. So he was a generation or so older than the Angus BUIE, son of Archibald Buie and Ann Sinclair, aged 2 in the 1851 Census for Osprey Twp, Grey Co, ON I do not know the parents or siblings of Angus Buie who married Janet Campbell but he could be of the same generation as Archibald Buie's father, Captain John Buie, sea captian, born c1781. The Buie surname is not very common so there may be a connection but I am not aware of one. Can any Buie researcher provide any insight.

John settled in Erin Township from about 1867 to 1880. He then up and moved his wife, Elizabeth Torrie Hall and children John, Archibald, William & Norman to Sundridge, Parry Sound where he and Elizabeth had children Euphemia, Duncan and Chales. They moved to Lamont Alberta in 1906 with his adult sons. His family farm in Lamont is still in my family.

Hi Morag, Pleased you like the site. Could you please forward the information you have on Duncan Currie & Marion Gillies.
