Hi everyone,I am starting back on some research on my Islay ancestors and thought I'd reach out to the group to see if anyone has information on the Whyte (White) family that's mine from the Portnahaven area.  I saw a couple of old posts from 2003 that leads me to think that there may be a few of you with some information to share.  The family I have documented is: John White (Whyte) m. Anne MacGillivray on May 3, 1830 in Kilchoman Parish, Islay.kids Mary                     b. March 20, 1831 KilchomanJames                  b. November 6, 1834 PortnahavenNeil                      b. July 18, 1838 Portnahaven (my ancestor)Duncan                b. October 10, 1839 PortnahavenElizabeth "Betty" b. December 22, 1841 Portnahaven They are listed in the 1841 Scottish Census (though by the 1851 census they are living in Wellington County, Ontario, Canada).  Either living next to them, or maybe with them (as one index states), is James White, age 70.  He and the rest of the family were all supposedly born in the county.   I figure he is likely John's father, but this is where I'd love some help. I found a James White in the 1851 census in Port Weemyss, where he's 92, living in an Inn, and listed as a pauper (fisher).  (This was from the index on ancestry.com so I've not seen the original yet.)  I didn't find any other James Whites that might be the same as the one in 1841.  I found what is likely his death record in the ScotlandsPeople's web site for the civil registers: James White, Fisherman, Widower, d. July 3, 1856 Balmenach (though looks like Bulmenach), 105 years old. Burial ground Nerabus (Nerebolls). Certified by son-in-law Donald McIntyre.   I would like to know how this James is related to my John White.  I've been trying all sorts of searches on ancestry.com and familysearch.org, etc. and not finding any leads.  I am hoping someone on this list might have some information to share.   Thank you!!
