Hi Stewart

Hopefully this won't lead you astray As I have no proof but...

care to share more of the specifics of the possible g-parents of your
Catherine in Kintyre is great.

> Catherine Campbell married a Peter McNeil 28 March 1837 ( IGI ) Kilninian & Kilmore the same marraige also appears as married Tobermory , which probably indicates this is the same couple. That is all the IGI has to offer in any way , though I am convinced that they had a daughter Catherine McNeil born ( according to 1851 census) 1840/41 Kilnfinichen, who was living with her grandparents at the time of the 1851 census in Kintyre, though her parents may well still have been be living in Mull ? - I CANNOT in any way find any more on that young grandaughter NOR can I find any further mention of the parents.
