LDS shows there was a Francis Kean born 1861 in Kalarrow (Next to Bowmore) in 1861. father was Francis Kean, mother Elisabeth Robertson.

I also have a document (his first childs birth certificate) which states he was born in Oban, which I thought was on the mainland. Can anyone shed any light on this? Also, does anyone know which parish Oban was in during the 19th century? thanks for any help forthcoming jane ==== SCT-ISLAY Mailing List ==== Click on this link for information on others researching the same families as you HTTP://freepages.family.rootsweb.com/~tlarson/researchers/ ==== SCT-ISLAY Mailing List ==== Here are some links related to the Isle of Islay: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~steve/islay/links.htm
