Hi Carolyn, My gggrandmother was Mary McNeill who married Donald Gillespie on Islay in 1833. Her mother was a Jene/Jane McNabb(I have not been able confirm this yet) who married a John McNeil. They lived around Bowmore. I don't know anything more abt. the McNabbs or the McNeills. I do have Mary's siblings tho. Do you think they are the same family you are looking for?

Hi Dee et all, No wondered I find this genealogy adventure so very confusing sometimes! My gggrandmother was also Mary McNeill (b.1837 Islay) but married to Andrew Calder. Her parents were Lachlan McNeill and Elizabeth McCuaig.
