Aye mair questions than answers!

Hi Martin
I'm new to RootsChat but certainly NOT to this genealogy 'lark'!
I've managed to trace my CRAWFORD roots back to Sherdrim (formerly Sheardrim) and Kilmichael Glassary in about 1796. Unfortunately the whole of Argyllshire seems to have been populated by Crawfords and while births have been no problem locating, marriages and deaths have.
Can you help with ANY information for any of these children of my Great Great Grandparents DONALD CRAWFORD and MARY CAMPBELL who were married on 16 Dec 1810 in Kilmichael Glassary, Argyllshire
MARY CRAWFORD, b. 06 Jan 1812, Sherdrim, Glassary, Argyllshire.
DONALD CRAWFORD, b. 15 Apr 1814, Sherdrim, Glassary, Argyllshire; d. 15 Jun 1871, 42 Bedford Street, Glasgow; m. MARY MORRISON, 27 May 1844, Glassary, Argyllshire; d. Aft. 1871. Cause of Death: Disease of Bladder 3 years. Occupation: 1871, Joiner (Journeyman)
JANET CRAWFORD, b. 02 May 1816, Sherdrim, Glassary, Argyllshire.
ALEXANDER CRAWFORD, b. 08 Jan 1818, Sherdrim, Glassary, Argyllshire.
ISABEL CRAWFORD, b. 27 Aug 1820, Sherdrim, Glassary, Argyllshire.
MARGARET CRAWFORD, b. 26 Aug 1823, Sherdrim, Glassary, Argyllshire.
JOHN CRAWFORD, b. 23 May 1829, Breunport, Sherdrim, Glassary, Argyllshire.
JAMES CRAWFORD, b. 19 Mar 1832, Breunport, Sherdrim, Glassary, Argyllshire; d. 08 Jul 1890, Paddle Steamer 'Viceroy'.
CHRISTIAN CRAWFORD, b. 22 Nov 1833, Barbreck, Glenorchy & Inishail, Argyllshire.
I have follow-up information for ISABEL, MARGARET and JAMES (Great Grandfather) but nothing else for the others, apart from what's shown.

I can't see sherdrim or Sheardrim in the book.
There is Shirvan (Upper, Mid and Lower) but I can't see any Crawford mentioned in those places.
There are a couple of mentions of Shirvan in CANMORE but no match on She(a)rdrim.
No matches on Sheardrim in Google Books and just one of Sherdrim in the Journal of Clan Campbell of America but you can't see the text, there is one for Shirvin in Leigh's New Pocket Road-book of Scotland.
I can scan the pages on Shirvan and send them to you if you wish, send me your EMail address in a Private Message.

Hi again Martin
Thanks for looking anyway. Sherdrim (Sheardrim) is now Minard and itlies on the west shore of Loch Fyne.
I'm off to New Register House on Friday again and will continue the search there!
Regards to Ian McPherson at the Rhu Mhor Guest House on Alma Road should you see him.

The book concentrates on "deserted settlements" so any that are still inhabited will not be included.
Good luck at New Register House.

Hi Martin
Did you happen to see any mention of a Ferguson family in your book.
Boop
The book is not named indexed, it is organised by settlements than any names found on gravestones from that settlement.
A quick flick through the book found
UPPER or OVER RHUDLE (RHUDAL)
Deaths
Donald Ferguson (11) 1865
Christian Ferguson (50) 1869
UPPER FINCHARD
Mary Ferguson (1 month) died 1857
Births
Mary Ferguson 1857
Christian Ferguson 1860
FEARNOCH
Edward Ferguson (1.5 years) died 1884
DUNAMUCK
Deaths
Catherine Ferguson (78) 1857
ACHNABA
Rebels ordered to forfeit stock 12 Oct 1685
Donald Ferguson in Achnaba, 5 cows, 1 mare, 2 sheep
Evidence to the Enquiry into Crofting and the Complaints of Crofters at Tarbert 17 Apr 1894
Tenants cleared ..... Dugald Ferguson, Archibald Ferguson, Malcolm Ferguson (comment that one could be father of Archibald Ferguson as below)
Gravestone Kilmory Burial Ground
Archibald Ferguson (10) Achnaba died 1833
Peter Ferguson (26) died at Ballimore Aird 1826
I could easily have missed others
