1. [ARGYLL] Re: Phonetics [1]
In addition to the info I have seen so far, there is also the possibility that an alternative family name was used. I am not an expert on this, but I think it was common earlier for some highland families to adopt another name .. politics of the time. See if you can check some of the clan names and their alternatives. Anne Maye.
2. [ARGYLL] Old place names [1]
I am transcribing the 1841 census (Glassary Parish) for FREECEN and was having a little difficulty with some place names. Is there somewhere that I can look to compare place names..... I have tried one or two of the old maps but all names don't show up there. Thanks Margaret in Canada
3. [ARGYLL] James Alexander 1733 [1]
An ooops - that should have said Example - "only male births are" Not to intrude, but Ginny is correct. Trying to guess based on what you only find on line is not always a good approach. The info you locate can be very incorrect - perhaps go back to your mothers data again and search for additional clues. One of the reasons being that last time I checked, the LDS website was not complete in what was available for many parishes. Example - only births are recorded in some parishes, only females i
4. Re: [ARGYLL] Ardrishaig [1]
Alana: I knew Ardrishaig as it was in the 1940s and early 50s. My maternal grandmother lived there, and my parents, sister and I spent several weeks there every summer. Towards the end of the war and afterwards while gas was still rationed, we traveled by McBryne's ferry boat, the St. Columba. Besides passengers, the boat carried cargo and live stock. (Sheep really smell in hot weather.) It arrived at the pier at about 1 PM. After gas rationing finished, we drove over The Rest and Be Thankful to get t
5. [ARGYLL] Re: Donald MCFARLANE & Mary MURRAY [1]
Possibly another example of inaccuracy in the records. I checked the Fife Mail List archives for the information on your searches. In the 1881 census, the following people were recorded at "Pitfirene". If this is the correct Donald McFARLANE (and I noticed he had a daughter Grace in an earlier census) then he was now stating that he was born in Perth, not Argyll. You'll be able to find his death, and thus his parents' names, on the scotlandspeople site at http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk Dwelling: Pitf
6. [ARGYLL] McEACHERN [1]
My McEACHERN interests are mainly from the Mull and Morvern areas and I have very little to go on. My Dugald McLACHLAN was born 1805 in Morvern to Dugald McLACHLAN/ Mary McEACHERN. There seem to be no other children from this marriage. Then Dugald married Peggy McKINNON 1812 Torosay Mull. Issue: 1. Anne 1813 2. Jane/Jean 1816-1897 m Hugh McLACHLAN(to Australia) 3.

8. Re: [ARGYLL] James Alexander b. 1733--Campbeltown [1]
Dale, Are you near an LDS location where you can order the OPR film? Sometimes you will find more clues there that can help you make a better educated guess on some of the relationships. For instance, you might be able to see which property they lived at during which periods. My research in Stralachlan, Argyllshire finds many of the same names were used so any additional information is helpful. I do not know what would be found for the OPR that covers Campbeltown but I think it would be worth looking at.
9. [ARGYLL] Argyll County Archives [1]
In response to the question of a good source of information for Argyll, I recommend: Murdo McDonald County Archivist Argyll and Bute District Archives Lochgilphead, PA31 8RT Scotland He is a very knowledgeable and helpful guy. If you are going to be in that area you need to contact him in advance of your visit. He may be able to point you to other contacts as well. Mary

Dorothy I have reason to believe that we might possibly be related. My ancestors also came from Knapsdale Argyll and I have Isabella Ferguson's, Isabella Campbell's, Archibald Campbell's and Morrisons running rampant in my tree. Could you give me some of the dates of birth marriage etc of your ancestors so we can compare notes.

Could, SKS please send me the Link to General Roy's map of 1750 , I have surfed on to several mentions but found nothing of any use, I am going to Argyll in April and would like to have a look at Leachy albeit that any remains are probably a few stones in the brackens, there is no doubt in my mind that Ann Campbell born at Leachy 1758 is ours. As a West Coaster I am also ashamed to say that I haven't a clue where Eilean Righ is, though I have heard it mentioned before, can anyone point me in the right dir

Stewart Campbell According to Allan Begg "Deserted Settlements of Kilmartin Parish" Argyll and Bute Council 1999 Leachy is marked on General Roy's map of 1750 (available on the Web) and lies between Kintraw and Barnlaunich. It is not marked on the modern 1:25000 map but must have lain on the East side of the Barbreck River, which is the parish boundary with Craignish at this point. You may be able to find Barbreck, which is on the other side of the river, on a map. The lands belonged to the Campbell
15. Re: [ARGYLL] anglicization of name Arnott [1]
Hi Bruce, While knowing nothing about Arnott (except they are a brand of biscuits here in Oz), my understanding is that there have always been Fergusons in Argyll (since King Fergus at least), the family estate was located in Strachur/Strachlachan parish until the family fell onto hard times around 1800. regards gabrielle At 06:31 AM 16/03/2004, scot-arnott@webtv.net wrote: > Hi List, > >Can anyone help me with my ARNOT name & how it was anglicized in >Kintyre? >The answer has eluded me fo
16. RE: [ARGYLL] James Alexander b. 1733 [1]
Martyn, Thanks. I figured something like this. I also see several listings for James within +/- 2 years that list different birthdates and one with a spouse with the same first name and a different last name. And, I believe another with a different spouse name. All from Campbeltown. Not sure if they are all the same person with inaccurate records, or if there were several James Alexanders all born within a couple years. I've deadended until I figure out the next step with James. Anyone with info or ad

23. [ARGYLL] Re: SCT-ARGYLL-D Digest V04 #47 [1]
Priscilla Geddis Yes an 1802 Valuation Roll for Argyll exists but one must be very clear what a Valuation Roll from this period is and what information it provides. It is in fact the official document containing the valuations of the land on which landowners were taxed. The document is useful if one wants to know who the landowner was of any estate but it gives no detail whatever about the people who lived on the lands because only the landowner at this time paid taxes directly (through the Collecto

Hello, I noted from Frank Bigwood's post that there apparently exists an 1802 Argyll Valuation Roll. Has anyone found it posted online or is there anyone willing to do a lookup if it includes Dunoon & Kilmun?

25. [ARGYLL] Re: SCT-ARGYLL-D Digest V04 #51 [1]
Bruce Arnott I think that your confusion arises from a misunderstanding of what happened. In the late 17th century and early 18th century many families with Gaelic sounding names simply changed their name to something which sounded more like an English name or to an existing Scottish name. At that time there was no need to take any formal steps to do so. People changed their name for different reasons. In this case it was, almost certainly, to make themselves more respectable in the eyes of the Engli
