I have just obtained a copy death cert given the above for Flora who was my 3g grannie. She was married to Duncan Logan (1811-1879). She died Port Ellen aged 87. Informant was her son Donald ( then aged 52). I can accept that Donald would well know his grandparents names. My problem now is I cannot get her date of birth or details of parents' wedding or any further data on parents such as their birth dates or parents. IGI and Scotlandspeople produced nothing although Ted's site shows Dugald and Marion had several other children. Can any of you Logan/MacKay/McCuaig researchers help?? This has been another hard lesson for me. Till now I had made some logical and seemingly well founded assumptions which were ultimately proved wrong when I got this one primary source document.

Hi John, Welcome to the family! Flora LOGAN, m.s. MCKAY, was my 2g.grandmother. I am descended from her youngest daughter Margaret (Peggy) LOGAN. I have Flora MCKAY christened at Ardimersay, Kildalton 25 May 1813, IGI Batch C115412, OPR Film 1041079. Her parents were John MCKAY (1771-1859), married Margaret CALDER (1773-1867) on 12 Apr 1801 at Kildalton. (I can take both of those back one more generation). I'll be very happy to exchange information with you if you'd like to get in touch offline. I was raised and educated on Islay, so I may be able to help with local geography.
