Thanks Bob, It will be interesting to see what he says.

I have a John Fletcher in my tree born in Torosay sometime about 1775-81, so naturally I was interested in your query. I have also had a chat with one of my Fletcher cousins still on Mull. Sadly we have not been able to find any link to your Neil beyond the information on his parents and siblings shown in the Mull Genealogy web site. We have also not been able to find any link to any names in the 1841 census. So effectively that family are "strays" at present although the OPRs do prove that they existed. Have you any other details of Fletchers in your tree and whether they emigrated?

Parents John Fletcher and Mary McPhee. I have done searches in 1841, 1851 and 1861 census records looking at all Neil / Niel Fletchers born between 1790 and 1810 in order to eliminate them from the search for my ancestor Neil Fletcher born about 1801 according to the 1841 census in Banffshire but, he was not born in Banffshire. He died before 1844. No burial records are extant. I had the Kirk Session Records checked for any mention of Fletchers and mortcloth fees without success. I suspect that the Neil from Torosay may be my ancestor but, I have no proof. If anyone can help I would be grateful.
