Hi Mary - Thanks for your response. I have limited info on Peter, children & wife #2 (Christian McGilvary) when they moved closer to home - near Oban. I just know nothing at all about Mary McPhail nor the time they may have been living in the Greenock area. The Johnston family I'm searching in Argyll is primarily in Kilbrandon & Kilchattan parish. Most of the information I have acquired seems to indicate most of the family did not cast their vision too distant, however, it always amazes me where a few of them turn up! Hoping all are enjoying the weekend.
