Where do you buy this map? I'm looking for unusual placenames, farms etc. Looking for "Ceandrochan" may have transcribed this incorrectly - is it a place, street, farm or what?

Islay's map is the Landranger 60. http://globalgenealogy.com/countries/england/general/maps/landranger/ 60.htm Nancy

Hello List, I am interested in the following. They are not related to me but my mother was bridesmaid at the wedding of Dugald Smith and Euphemia Graham in the early 1930s and I would just like to know more about their Islay roots. As far as I can ascertain, Euphemia (Effie or Phamie) Graham was born at Heather House, Kilmeny in 1898. Her father was Neil Graham, ploughman and her mother Catherine McDougall. In the 1901 census they were at Persabus and there is another daughter Katie (Katherine) born 1898/9. Neil and Katie (Catherine) McDougall married at Heather House in 1897. Catherine's father is given Hugh McDougall, maltman and her mother Euphemia Currie and Hugh's father is Samuel Graham, general labourer and his mother Catherine McEachran. I do hope someone on the list can connect Regards Johan Lochridge

Norma, I am no expert on Islay names but came on this site, it may help: http://ads.ahds.ac.uk/catalogue/adsdata/PSAS_2002/pdf/vol_016/16_241_276.pdf#search=%22tirvagain%22 I searched for cean and came up with "cean drochaid", meaning head of the bridge and refering to to Kindrochit. I have various references which look like the same place Keandrochead, Kinindrocheid, Kinadrochit, and Kenadrochit. If you let me know your ancestor's name I will see if he appears in the rentals listed in the Day Book of Daniel Campbell.
