The information you have about Mary McMillan might be correct. The information I have is that John McMillan was the oldest child of Donald McMillan (born 1784) and Katy Cameron. John was born in 1804 and married Lucy McDonald in 1825. I do not know the names of their children, but Mary born 1829 could possibly be one of them. This family all lived around Nerabus. In 1833 they were all evicted and either moved to Port Wemys on Islay or Canada. My ancestor, Donald's second son Hugh moved to Canada as did their 4th and 5th children Christy and Duncan. The rest of the family all stayed in Port Wemys. What happened to John and Lucy, I do not know for certain. They had 4 children born at Nerabus which would include Mary. I found a John and Lucy McMillan living in Erin Township, Ontario in 1861 Upper Canada census with 4 children born in Canada 1839=42. This is possibly a different family from my ancestors. Perhaps other people working on McMillan family ancestors has more recent information.

Mary Mcmillan is listed in the 1861 and 1881 cencus as coming from Islay. She married Alexander Cameron on the 24th November 1854. In the 1861 cencus she is listed as living in Cambuslang, Glasgow aged 32 and in 1881, 52 (both cencus taken in April of the year). Looking at the birth records for Islay, the only Mary that would have the correct age was born to John and Lucy Mcmillan on the 17th December 1829. So my question regards John and Lucy McMillan. From the emails originally sent to the list, there seems a possibility that they may have emigrated to Canada? If they did, then perhaps their daughter Mary, is not my ancestor? Or, did they stay on Islay? I have included below, some of the emails i have read that will perhaps give some context. Kind regards Bruce Cameron
