Dave

This may well be your Lachlan Loynachan in Feochaig, Southend, up the hill
from, but within walking distance of, Eden Farm

Archibald Olynachan, 54
Jean Taylor, 56
Mary Olynachan, 20
Jean Olynachan, 16
Lachlan Olynachan, 14

This family was in Glenaharvy, near to Feochaig
Neil Olynachan, 23
Lachlan Olynachan, 9
Christian Olynachan, 7

And you probably know that there were more Olynachans in East Kildavie. If
not, e-mail back to me and I'll send you the list

Re Anne McPherson - looks as though she may have been born in 1792 or later.
Her family were at 7 Main Street, Campbeltown
Donald McPherson, 51
Mary Campbell, 40
John McPherson, 16
Donald McPherson, 10
David McPherson, 6
Lachlan McPherson, 1

I could not find a Hugh Reid of the right age, but found these families in
Southend

West Kildavie
John Reid, 60
Agnes Langwill, 52
Mathew Reid, 30
John Reid, 21
...
Hugh Reid, 48
Jean Reid, 50
John Reid, 22
David Reid, 16
Alexander Reid, 13
Peggy Reid, 10
...
James Reid, 73
James Reid, 12
Alexander Reid, 8
Hugh Reid, 8

and at Kerranbeg, not far away,
Hugh Reid, 24
Betty Brown, 21
Jean Reid, 2

There were also Reids in the nearby farms of Langholm Kildavie, Little
Polliwilline and West Polliwilline, but no Hugh

and a Hugh Reid in Campbeltown
11 Main Street
Hugh Reid, 29
Janet Langwill, 25
Janet Reid, 6
James Reid, 4
Nancy Reid, 1
John Reid, 20


Finally - David Campbell
There were two in Southend
Inencocallich
David Campbell, 50
Margaret McMath, 48
Archibald Campbell, 22
Margaret Campbell, 20
More Campbell, 18
Catherine Campbell, 16
Donald Campbell, 14
Colin Campbell, 12
Dugald Campbell, 8
Flory Campbell, 6
Betty Campbell, 2

This one had the very unusual prefix of Mr
Knockbaan, Southend
Mr David Campbell, 73
Margaret Campbell, 28
Grace Campbell, 24
Isobell Campbell, 20
Mary Olynachan, 30

Look fairly promising...

Sarah

Hi Sarah

I am looking for Lachlan Loynachan/Oloynachan born around 1775 in Southend ,
maybe Eden Farm

Anne McPherson b 1771 est Campbeltown , think father was Donald and Mother
Mary Campbell.

And Hugh Reid born about 1769 Kildavee , Southend married to Rose?

Finally David Campbell born ? but I think in Ballymontgomery Farm , Southend
Parish.

Thanks in advance

Dave

I have a copy of the above very useful, but rather rare book, and from now
until the 8th of January, I have time to do look-ups for anyone interested
in tracing relatives in the Kintyre peninsula of Argyll.

The parishes covered are Killean & Kilkenzie; Kilcolmkill & Kilblaan ie
Southend; and Kilkivan, Kilkerran, Kilmichichael & Kilchousland ie
Campbeltown; Saddell & Skipness, including Carradale. (It is important to
note, however, that the Duke was by no means the only landowner in the area
at that time, so tenants of other landlords are, of course, not included.)

Perhaps the list administrator can advise me if responses to any query
should go to the whole list, or only to the person asking the question.

Regards

Sarah Galbraith
