I was interested in your Cirsty Campbell.
I have a Christy Campbell who married Dugald McLeod in Kilninian, Mull
in April 1794. Unfortunately I have no other Information on the
Campbell family. I presume Christy came from Mull as this was where
they married.
Dugald McLeod was born in Tiree, Argyll in 1767. Dugald and Christy
subsequently had the following children, all born in Tiree, Argyll::
Mary b January 1794
Dugald b March 1796 (my direct line)
John b February 1799
Margaret b January 1801
Catherine b March 1805
If you or anyone connect to these names, I would love to hear from you
