So here I am with my Powers' whiskey (sorry I like Irish Whiskey better than Scotch Whiskey) and feeling sorry for my wife's missing Malcolm McQuigg / McCuaig / McQuaig. But then I get a report from the graveyard in which he is buried. These old stones are hard to read and this one has been read several times with different results. In this case "Missing Malcolm" could have been born anytime from 1760 to 1762, making him possibly two years younger than previously thought. Now over on the Isle of Islay the Old Parish Records have a Malcolm McCuaig who was baptized in 1765. Previously I thought who would baptize a child at age 5? But now that Malcolm could easily have been born in 1762; baptizing a child at age 3 sounds more plausible. Now over the years I have seen areas that practice infant baptism at birth. Other customs let the infant live a year; while in other areas I have seen baptisms 3 years and later. So what was the baptismal customs on the Isle of Islay. How long where the delays between birth and baptisms in the OPR? By the way, to the kind lady who send me the spreadsheet of births and marriages in an excel spreadsheet. Could you resend it? Somewhere between the first and second bottle of Powers I lost the spreadsheet. Well, it really isn't missing just misplaced - along with that set of car keys that I never found. By the way, any Stewarts on the Isle? Wishing you the best of Christmas to come. Jim Thoma
