I think Jill is right, because Ann Currie is not among the official 1859
Civil Registration Deaths in Salen parish. There are 12 deaths in Salen in
that year:
1) John McDougall 2 and a half years old.
2) Archibald Leitch single aged 23, son of Donald .
3) John McGilvra aged 75 married to Cath. Campbell.
4) Cath. Fletcher 74 yrs. widow
5) Donald Campbell widower aged 82 whose son-in-law was Donald McArthur.
6) Margaret McDougall widow aged 49.
7) John Ross aged 12
8) Alexander McGilvray aged 78
9) Ann McPhail aged 28
10) Agnes Porter aged 2 at Jarvisfield
11) Catherine McArthur aged 1
12) Alexander Angus Archibald Fletcher aged 25, son of Alexander Fletcher &
Isabella Campbell Downie [both parents deceased] who died of typhus fever
and was taken to Glasgow for burial. He died at Glen Aros, where it was the
housekeeper who gave the info on his death.
So there is no Ann McDonald or Currie in 1859 Salen CRDs.
Since John McDonald the joiner was in the 1857 Salen CRDs aged 70, he
couldn't have erected a stone for his wife Ann Currie unless she had died
before him. He died of a strangulated hernia on 18 April 1857, and the info.
on his death was from his son Charles. John's parents were Angus McDonald
and Ann McKinnon. Like so many other CRDs of this period, the name of the
wife, even when she is still alive, is not given.
It looks as if Ann died much earlier.
CRDs are all I have left, pretty well, as I am still trying to tidy them up
for the Mull Museum. But they are not indexed, which is why I took so long
to respond.
