1. McQuaig [1]
Dear List: I'm trying a new approach to my McNabb mystery. Catherine McNabb was supposed to have a brother Collin in Fenelon. Collin's children were John (Rev.), Sandy and Peter as well as some daughters. I looked up Collin again and found one married to Jessie McQuaig in 1829 in Kildalton with children John, b 1829 and Alexander, b 1836. Does anybody know what happened to Jessie (and Collin)? Thanks! Carolyn
2. Re: Scottish Clans DNA program ISLAY SCOTLAND MCEACHAN and varientsWELCOME [1]
right there are both Scottish and Irish clan DNA projects. Which is good as not only were many of the Hebridean clans pan Gaelic, i.e. they have septs and branches in both the Hebrides and in Ireland, but you also have the fact that Gaels from Ireland were the founders of the Gaelic clans in Scotland, so you have the potential to do very deep past research on these clans. I know our project (McCain DNA Project) has located both Irish and Hebridean branches. Sort of interesting. They were Gallsglaigh so t

Why should one who has nothing to hide, be worried about their DNA being gathered and stored? I find the whole subject quite outside what this List was set up for. Celia.
4. Islay McKean Minutiae [1]
Right, the name McKean comes from the Gaelic name Mac Eain. For some odd reason, I never quite figured it out, some write this name as MacIain or McIan. I am a Gaelic speaker, I speak Irish Gaelic but can understand Hebridean Gaelic fairly well. I asked the Gaelic College on Skye what spelling they used, and they also use Mac Eain. In Irish Gaelic it is written Mac Eain. Both said the same way. I know in the Islay Kintyre area, the Gaelic form was commonly Mac Eain. And also correct, it is also com
5. RE: [SCT-ISLAY] Islay McKeans [1]
Dear All I would just like to reiterate support for Toni and Barra's suggestions to participate in tests as part of a DNA surname project. As some of you know my paternal ancestors the mcewing/mcewen/mcewan's lived on the mull of Oa. I recently completed a Y DNA test and while it provided some distant links it found no really close ones at all. The best was to a person of Scottish descent at 23/25 markers at 37 markers the closest was about 29/37. In simple terms it is probably at least 1500-2000 years a
6. Re: 1841 CENSUS [1]
I would like to add my thanks to Ted for the 1841 census. I found my 3x great grandmother's brother and his family. I had wondered when they moved to Islay and this information has narrowed it down to within a couple of years. Many thanks Best wishes Cathy
7. Re: [SCT-ISLAY] FW: Duncan CAMPBELL/ Janet McPHAIL [1]
Hi Cathy Do you know anything about Duncan Campbell's parents and siblings. I have a Peter Campbell who I haven't been able to find his parents, he was born in Kilmeny abt 1832. Alot of your names show up in my tree. Names like, Neil, Robert, Mary and Archibald. Peter married a woman named Euphemia Kennedy and I think her parents were Archibald Kennedy and Mary McPhail. I am wondering if there is a connection between your Duncan and my Peter. Or maybe between your Janet and my Mary. Thanks Fiona BC C
8. Gilchrists, still searching for James [1]
Hi All, I have found records that have a James Gilchrist born Jan, 14th., 1796 Killean, Argyll, Scotland. Now we have our James Sr. born about 1797, now that seems pretty close to me. My question is how do I find out more? It shows father John Gilchrist and mother Catherine McMurchy. This is from the IGI Records that I got off of the internet. I also show a James Gilchrist born Oct.1st 1794 at Kildalton, Argyll . His father is given as William. Since the wife of our James Sr., Ann Calder ,was born 1802,
9. RE: [SCT-ISLAY] CURRIE, GILLESPIE, COOK, WALKER,McKay,Mick,Elkins [1]
Thomas, I note that your message says Christian McNiven Currie was the daughter of Anne (Nanny) Sinclair and Duncan McNiven, born about 1800. I haven't been able to find this baptism, either in my own research, or on Ted Larsons transcriptions. Anne and Duncan did have these two baptisms registered: Mary, 12 Jan. 1803, Bowmore; and John, 27 Sept. 1805, Bowmore. Therefore Christian is in the right range, being born ca 1800. Can you tell me where your information comes from? Also, can you tell me
10. Sir Colin Campbell, Lord Clyde [1]
Sir Colin Campbell, Lord Clyde 1792-1863, was the son of a John McLiver and Agnes Campbell, but changed his name to Campbell. Can anyone tell me how his mother Agnes was connected to the Campbells of Ardnave, as her brother assisted Colin in his entry to the British Army Elizabeth McAuslan
11. Re: [SCT-ISLAY] Campbells or McDougalls at Kilmeny [1]
Hi Mary, I too would like to be able to find more about my McDougalls who one time lived at Kilmeny. My Gr.gr.grandfather was John McDougall b.c.1816. His father was Alexander McDougall but there seems to be several candidates for his mother. Going by his Death Cert. it may have been Catherine McIndoe or McIndeor, and other info says it may have been Katherine McCalman or Catherine McAlman. Plenty of options as there is no Baptism to prove anything. However as from about 1810 there was a charge for Baptism
12. Black/Beatton [1]
Hi Listers, Been lurking for a bit but now have a question: Looking at a copy of the OPR's for Kildalton I have the following entry: Dated 13 December 1799 Alexander Black Catherine Beatton He a young man of ?ilchoman and she a young woman in Lagavulin in this parish, were looked in order to marriage and were married 19th. Can anyone give me an idea of the place where Alexander might have come from it could be a K but it really doesn't look like it, is there anywhere else it could be? Does the pair rin
13. Black/Beatton [1]
Hi Neil Alexander would have been from Kilchoman. It may be worth a look at www.scottishhandwriting.com as letters would have been written quite differently to now in the 17 and 1800s. It shows a k looking more like a circle intertwined with another circle. Christina Johnston
14. Re: [SCT-ISLAY] Re: Malcolm McCourry [1]
Toni Have already had the surprise. ctually, I did find out about that book last fall. One day, had casually entered Malcolm McCourry into google. Found website. Corresponded with author, etc--she had used my connecting ancestor (Elizabeth McCurry Carnes) in her book. But now I wanted to try to track down any possible traces of Malcolm on the Isle of Islay. Considering making a trip. Was presuming somebody from somewhere might have already checked the old church records, etc. I think au
15. Re: 1841 Census of Islay [1]
Congratulations, Ted, on adding yet another very valuable resource for the benefit of family history researchers. As is often the case, the SCT-ISLAY list leads the way! Some on the list may not be aware of the Free Census Project which aims to make all the 19th century census returns available for free on the internet. I took on the volunteer role of County Coordinator for Renfrewshire and my fellow Coordinator for Argyllshire is Gabrielle Baker. The website for the Argyllshire Free Census is at http:/
16. Keith & Sinclair 1841 [1]
I have come across some sort of connection with my KEITH, CLARK(E) & a SINCLAIR family. My GGGGrandparents were George KEITH and Catherine CLARK(E). Their son, my GGGrandfather, was Peter KEITH. See my note below on finding on the 1841 census. I am trying to see what the SINCLAIR relationship is. Per the 1841 census for Islay - Peter was an agricultural labourer in Mulindrie. He lived with and worked for John Campbell. The Mulindrie neighboured Lenanbuie where Peter's parents and siblings dwelled. A
17. RE: [SCT-ISLAY] FW: Duncan CAMPBELL/ Janet McPHAIL [1]
Hi Fiona Many thanks for your message. Duncan's parents were Neil Campbell and Mary McKellar. Duncan's birth doesn't appear to have been registered but several of his siblings were born in Glassary, Argyll so l've assumed he was born there too. (He was born around 1797) His siblings were Donald, Janet, Anne, Mary, Archibald, Peter, Catherine, Malcolm and George. I don't think Duncan and Janet were in Islay before around 1840. From her death certificate in 1880 Janet's parents were Archibald McPhail and Lil
18. Scottish Clans DNA program ISLAY SCOTLAND MCEACHAN and varients WELCOME [1]
It has been a long time theory that my family, KEACH came from a varient spelling of MacKeachan, which is why I had my name legally changed. In fact, in the "Parochial, Registers, Baptisms, 1763 - 1819, Argyll, Bowmore & Kilarrow Parish, # 536 Microfilm, #1041078" I have found these references: McEachern, McKeech, McEachren, McKichan, McEacharn, McKeachan, McKeachern, McKeachren, McKech, McKechan, McKeichan, McKeichean, McKeighn, McKechnie, McKiachan, McKichein, Mckeadain, Mckeadan, Mckeodain (the last 3 ap

Ted, this is incredible work and will assist us all I am sure. Now if you were also a magician and could make my James Gilchrist appear, but that would be impossible as he was long in Woodville Ont. by then. Thanks, Lena Gilchrist

Greetings all Does anyone happen to have a street map of Bowmore that could be e-mailed to me or can anyone tell me the name of the street (lane back in 1947-490 at the end of Jamieson Street if one is walking from Main Street. My aunts lived on Jamieson Street next to what was a double storied steading but is now,I believe, apartments/flats. Regards to all searchers Islay West.Aus.
21. Re: [SCT-ISLAY] Boston Mills, Peel Co., Ontario [1]
I would also like a copy of the article about Boston Mills community. My ancestors settled there in 1833 on arrival from Islay. They stayed about 4 years before moving a few miles West into Erin township. I know nothing about their life there except that 4 children died and were buried in Boston Mills cemetery.

22. CAMPBELL - of Sunderland, Islay and elsewhere [1]
Hello I have been researching my husband's Islay Campbells and have been quite successful to date but have been unable to trace one missing COLIN CAMPBELL. ALICIA CAMPBELL, born about 1728 at Sunderland, Islay, married first a Henry Campbell, but then ran away with her cousin COLIN CAMPBELL, and had a daughter AGNES CAMPBELL abt 1756 who married John McLIVER, a Glasgow carpenter. Their son Colin McLiver changed his name to his mother's maiden name of Campbell when he joined the army, and had an illus
23. RE: [SCT-ISLAY] Islay McKeans [1]
What an interesting project! My husband has finally agreed to join a Sinclair DNA test, so it will be interesting to learn if Islay Sinclairs (earlier known as MacNokaird) are related to the majority of mainlanders or not. I wonder if the Islay McKeans could be "MacIan", a very early name on the Island, which later translated to Johnston? There are some Johnston researchers on this list, I think, who might have further comment. Good luck, Toni Sinclair >From: "McCain" >Re

25. RE: [SCT-ISLAY] Fw: Keith & Sinclair 1841 [1]
Hi Brad, The name "Gilbert" is very rare in the Islay Sinclair families - in fact, there was only one baptism of a Gilbert Sinclair recorded on the 20th of June, 1836, the son of Duncan Sinclair and Marrion Sinclair of Glassens, Kilchoman parish. I would suggest that the Gilbert who was with your Keith family during the 1841 census was a visitor "from away."
