Tom (and Jim), After I read Jim's message I looked to see if I could find any record of Hugh Campbell and Grace McColl's marriage, but the only record I could find of a Hugh Campbell marrying a McColl was for Hugh and Ann on 25th July 1771. Hugh was from Lettermore, a mile or two NW of Tenga on the shore of Loch Frisa. When their daughter Ann was baptised on 5th Decmber 1785 the couple was living at Tenga. I wondered if this was the same couple as Jim's Hugh and Grace but it was about 14 years before Jim thinks they were married and I don't know if the names Grace / Ann are related. There were about 20 adult male McColls identified in the 1779 census of the Argyll Estate (which I believe covered about 60% of Mull at the time). Women were not identified unless they were living independently. Looking for Hugh Campbells in the 1779 census on mullgenealogy.co.uk I see there were two of similar age at Tengie so perhaps the record of Hugh / Grace's marriage is missing / never existed ?

Stuart, Hugh and Ann are also my ancestors. I am descended from their son Donald born march 1787. Do you have any further information on any children from the marriage of Hugh and Ann?

Malcolm, The only ones I know about are: Ann, baptised 5/Dec/1785 Donald, baptised 10/June/1787 Duncan, baptised 4/Nov/1793 Due to the long gap between Donald and Duncan it is possible that there were other children who died in infancy. Hope this helps. Stuart Mignon & Malcolm Campbell <mandm.campbell@bigpond.com> wrote: Stuart, Hugh and Ann are also my ancestors. I am descended from their son Donald born march 1787.
