Thank you so much for that little bit of information re Castle Semple. My McLachlan family was cleared from Morvern and my ggrandfather came to Australia. He was illiterate and as far as we know had no further contact with his family. I have searched for them for years until recently I found a sister who married Robert McLellan and was widowed before the birth of her fourth child. She then was on the Poor Roll and eventually died in Lochwinnoch. Her son Robert was a footman and domestic servant to Henry Lee Harvey and his wife (who was the daughter of Henry David Erskine 12th Earl of Buchan) at St Georges Square in London in 1881. I wonder if my Robert's sisters were also employed by the Harveys from the Poor House or from those on the Poor Roll. I had only recently discovered that Harveys had Caste Semple at one stage.
