Subject: [SCT-ISLAY] William BLACK, Kilchoman 1780
Date: Tue, 4 Jul 2000 09:44:24 +1000


Hi

I am new to this List, and have arrived here chasing my GGGGrandfather William
Black. He was a soldier in the 79th Highlander Regiment in the early 1800's, and
on his discharge papers is shown as born "in or near Kilchoman in the Parish of
Kilchoman" about 1780.

I believe that there is not very much at Kilchoman now, but that the shell of
the church still stands. I would like to make contact with anyone who has
any information on anyone with the surname Black, born on Islay in the 1700's -
or any information on early burials in the area.

Regards
Ken Black
