Hi all -
My dark family secret is that I descend from three generations of
Excisemen - two of which were stationed in Bowmore from the 1810s
to the 1830s (deepest regrets & profuse apologies for my ancestry
to all you single malt fanciers - I will remind you that Bobbie
Burns was a "rascally gauger" as well).
I have two of my Excisemen being rotated to Bowmore and marrying
local girls:
Robert HAMILTON married Elizabeth DOUGLAS on November 27, 1811.
Their offspring were: Charlotte, Flora Anne, Elizabeth
Hi!
I don't have any of the names you mention either, but I do have Alexander
McDougall who married Catherine McQueen, b.1844 (d/o Neil McQueen b. 1792
Islay and Margaret Patterson). The McQueens came from Islay to Nottawasaga
Twp., Ontario in 1833/34, so this may be where Alexander and Catherine
settled, but I'm not sure at this point.

Hi Everyone,
I just had a new connection, which brought me a date of approximate
birth for a Janet McDonald born abt. 1780, on the Island of Mull. Janet
McDonald married David Spence abt. 1801 on either Mull or Bowmore,
Islay, Argyll, Sct. There eldest son, Daniel, was born at Kilennan,
Islay in 1802. Daniel and almost all of his siblings left Islay or
Greenock for Canada by the late 1830's to 1840's. Daniel's brother ,
Peter is Catherine Spence's father.
Catherine Spence was married abt. 1867 in Greenock

Hi S L McDOUGALL
Your search for
"John McDOUGALL on the Oa of Islay who married on 6th March 1817,
in Kildalton Parish - Janet/Jessie McNab who was born c1806,"
caught my eye. While I can't make a connection for you, I thought I
might throw out my McDOUGALLs for your consideration.
I'm looking for two McDOUGALL girls. The first was Mary McDOUGALL, the
wife of George KEITH. They may have spent time in the Glasgow/Paisly
area but were likely from Islay as their 1st daughter Ann was married
there i
here are some surname links i found at this website:
