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.
