After four days going through all the information on our sight I have decided that the family I am seeking must have been an intinerant family to Islay. Finlay Ferguson his family, Donald age18, Rachel age 13 and Catherine age11 appear on the 1841 census at Gruinard Kilchoman after that the next thing I can find out about them was Rachel married on Rothesay in 1852 to a Duncan McLean after that she stayed in Shotts Lanarkshire her daughter Catherine was born there by the 1881 census she was widowed and came here to Greenock. If any of our listers have know anything on this family I would be grateful I am now going into Scotlands People again to see if I can find anything on there. Regards Andy Duffy
