To Denise Maher who is researching LAMONT/McDONALD in Mull.

The query about births to Donald LAMONT/Mary McDONALD & Donald
LAMONT/Catherine McDONALD and wondering if the Mary & Catherine are
the same person. That is one possibility.

Also, since the record says for one of these children LAMONT or
McDONALD it is possible that this is an ex-nuptial child. These were
recognised by the fathers and recorded at Baptism.

It is also possible that Mary & Catherine are sisters and that one
died in childbirth and there was then a marriage to a sister. I have
what appears to be this situation where there is the birth to my
Dugald McLACHLAN/Mary McEACHERN, and then births to Dugald/Peggy
McKINNON, a second wife, and then to Peggy McEACHERN, a third. It is
highly likely that the two McEACHERNs were sisters.

These were in Morvern and Mull.
