I came across some McPhedrains and their headstone states Islay, however an LDS search does not return any results. Did the McPhedrains, go by another name or a different spelling of the name. Thank you Marilyn

Hi Marilyn I would suggest that your McPhedrains are probably a colloquial misspelling /variation of MacPhaiden which is noted in Blacks surnames of Scotland in various forms i.e. MacFadyen, McFayden, MacFadin MacFadzean, MacPhaidein, MacPhaidin, son of Paidean, or little Pat, and so = Patonson. They were said, according to 'Blacks', to have been the first possessors of Lochbuie and when they were expelled, they became a race of wandering artificers, Sliochd nan or-cheard - the race of goldsmiths on Mull.
