Hi Pamela Yes there was another exodus in the late 1840s and early 1850s. Many seemed to have gone to Ontario, Canada. My McCuaig, McCannel, Carmichael lines emigrated to Grey County in that time frame. Good Luck Sue Visser ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pamela J.

Now I have another question. I know there was a population clearance on Islay in the 1830's. Did another big emigration from Islay occur during the 1850's? By the 1851 census, my DONALD MCINTYRE is deceased. His wife MARY (ms MCEWEN) is with the before mentioned JOHN and MARY MCLELLAN on Gearach farm, Kilchoman Parish. Daughter FLORY MCINTYRE and son NEIL are on Kilchiaran Farm, Kilchoman: FLORY with a JOHN MCLELLAN, age 70 and wife MARY, age 48 (ms MCINTYRE possible Aunt) and NEIL with ADAM and ELIZABETH RALSTON. I have been unable to match any further information on these three family members from Scotland's People i.e. no marriages or death certs or census data so I am thinking they may have emigrated to somewhere else. Anyone have any suggestions possible emigration locations?

Just wondering if anyone knows the names of any ships arriving with Islay immigrates in the year of 1853? Cheri
