    3. Hello List: This was some information I got when at the National Archives of Scotland which may be of help to some people. Didn't get a chance to go through this information though and had left it to the last as the names didn't seem relevant to me. Jacqueline in Nova Scotia In consulting the papers, held by the National Archives of Scotland, that relate to landowners in Mull, I searched the GD112 (Papers of the Campbell Family of Breadalbane) collection for references to Mornish and Quinish. Of the 18,000+ documents in this particular collection none are catalogued using the word 'Quinish' and only four using the word 'Mornish'. I have copied the catalogue entries for Mornish below, perhaps by ordering out this material you might be able to determine the parish in which Mornish lies. As I stated in my last e-mail, I have been unable to locate Mornish in my reference sources. Furthermore, since my last communication I have examined a modern Ordnance Survey Landranger map of mull which shows small estates and hamlets. Again I was unable to immediately locate Mornish.
