Hello June Marrion McDonald, (1849 - 1909), who was my great-grandmother was born in Kintra to Hugh McDonald and Eliza(aka Elspie) McTaggart. She was the youngest of their 8 children. The others were John(b 1831), Isabella(b.15/7/1833) Margaret(b.8/6/1834); Archibald(b.28/3/1837); Hugh(b.1839); Charles(b.22/8/1841);Christina(b.20/3/1847) As far as I can see they lived in House No3, Kintra village. The eldest child, John was married in Kintra on 15 June 1876, to Christina Campbell (felt very weird seeing my own name coming up) I am particularly looking for information on this chap as I have been unable to find a death certificate for him anywhere, yet I have found some of their large family and his widow in Glasgow, working as a housekeeper in the census of 1891, where Christina is listed as a widow. I made my first trip to Mull last year and walked along the beach at Kintra, really appreciating the feeling that we are all just 'passing through'. Would dearly love to hear any information anyone has on the above family, or their offspring. Christina Campbell(100% Scot, but living near Canterbury, Kent!)

Hi Christina, Hugh and Eliza moved about quite a lot - 1841 Scoor 1851 Knocknafenaig 1861 Park House 1871 Kintra They seem to disappear after that. I don't have any more on John and Christina. They don't seem to have stayed in Kintra after they got married. Sorry I can't be any more help but thanks for the info.
