Hi Dee Kindrochid, as it appears on modern maps, was/is a farm north of Loch Gorm. There are various spellings such as Ceandrochait or Keandrochead. Kindrochid is about 4-5 kilometres west and slightly south of Kilnave which is on the west shore of Loch Gruinart. You can download an interactive placenames of Islay map at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~steve/islay/maps/simon/simon.htm Interestingly enough my McCannel family was also from Kindrochid and emigrated to Ontario in 1847. Where did your family settle?
