The placename, Ceandrochan, Kilchoman is listed as place of residence of John and Euphemia Maclean in the 1841 Census. Ted Larsen's transcription of the 1841 census puts Ceandrochan in Corsabell. I also note on the list of Fergusons, some that also live in Ceandrochan (Euphemia was a Ferguson, I think). This must be a very very small place or farm? I've been searching for old maps on-line but haven't found any with this place name. Any ideas? Are there any good website with placenames or maps? I often see Ordinance Maps for sale on e-bay - any comments on the value of these? thks Norma wow, I sparked some good discussion with the LDS IGI topic!

Hi Norma I'm confused by your question. When I checked Ted's 1841 transcription, I found Kilchoman 154 5 Corsabell John MacLean Male 65 Hand Loom Worker ARL Kilchoman 154 5 Corsabell Euphemia Maclean Female 60 ARL Kilchoman 154 5 Corsabell Donald Maclean Male 14 ARL I don't see "Ceandrochan" anywhere with this family. Kilchoman is the parish. Corsabell is the farm. Check Place Names by Bob McQueen http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~steve/islay/rawdata/bobmq.htm. Also maps http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~steve/islay/maps/index.htm I think maps are vital to genealogy and have many including Ordnance maps and Landranger maps. Beware though when buying on e-bay that the same map could be cheaper elsewhere. A good source to buy maps is www.globalgenealogy.com.
