connections to me.

Campbell. James was born 11 May 1859 to Hector Johnston and Catherine
Darroch who married on 20 January 1859 in Killarrow Parish. There were two
other children of that marriage - Mary who married a Mr Todd who was butler
to the Coates family (the cotton mill people in Paisley) and eventually
migrated to Canada, and John who was still alive in Bowmore in the late
1940s when I stayed with my aunts. About him I know no more but hope to
learn.

Morrison on 6 April 1814. That is all I know so far.

> Hector Johnston married Catherine Darroch who came from Jura. Her father
was a John Darroch but I'm not sure which one. Her mother, my gr.gr.
gandmother was a Marion McNeill also from Jura.
