Hi Celia- I'm just getting back to you re. your query re. a possible connection with the following: "I have an Isabella Campbell from Kildalton who married an Alexander McDougall in 1838. Isabella was born about 1820 and was over 20 years younger than Alexander. They had 2 daughters, Margaret b. 1838 and Ann b. 1840. Alexander McDougall died in 1843. " I've gone back through everything I have and can't find a connection between your Alexander McDougall and my McDougall's of Kilbride, Kildalton. There were several McD families living on Kilbride and adjacent farms in the early to mid 1800s, and there seems to have been an Alexander in almost every one of them, based on the 1841 census! There is a believeable possibility that your Alexander was some degree of cousin to my McDs, with the name Alexander coming down through the various branches, but I sometimes think there were more men on Islay with the name Alexander McDougall than any other name! Sorry not to have been a more concrete help- Steffenie
