> Hello again Argyll List,
>
> I posted my surname interests yesterday, but I left one out. I just
recently discovered that my great great great grandmother was Mary HOUSTON
(sometimes looked like "Austin" on some documents) who married a McGregor.
Their son, Dugald McGregor, was born abt. 1849 at Taynish Farm by
Tayvallich, Argyll. HOUSTON not a local name, it seems. My Dad has a theory
that it might be English, from a servant perhaps brought up from England by
a laird to look after his Scottish household?? Anybody got any other
theories or clues? Thankyou!
