Hello Janet and Johan My great grandmother was a McLugash from the Bowmore area and I was wondering if she might be connected to the McLugashes you have been mentioning. Her name was Margaret and she was born in 1851 or 1852. She married my great grandfather John McKellar on 23 December 1880 and died in Glasgow on 7 July 1947, outliving my grandmother who died in 1944. A newspaper cutting has been posted on the Old Islay group on Facebook showing her arriving on the mainland by aeroplane in 1946 on her way to live with a relative in Glasgow. One of the recent posts on SCT-Islay mentioned a Catherine Campbell born in 1905 which made me pay attention because my grandmother's maiden name was also Catherine Campbell, but she was born earlier, on 6 February 1889.

My 4X removed cousin was Farm Manager and your Janet Mitchell was Herd's daughter in same census.

It's been a long time since I've sent anything to the Islay site You mentioned in one of your emails that your Stevenson family farmed at Laggan until 1874 I believe. My ggrandfather Archibald McLugash and family farmed at Laggan from 1872 to some time after 1891 when they left for the mainland ending up at 3 Barness St Barrhead Renfreshire. Does anyone on the list know anything about the farms at Laggan. I believe at one time there were three but not sure. Any info would be appreciated.
