Hello all, can anyone shed any light on Milton Cottage, Dunoon circa 1894, I have googled it and it comes up with a residence on Queen St, Dunoon on today's map, could this be the same place ?.
Any help very much appreciated.
Thanks.

If it is any help, in the 1891 census, there is a reference to Sandbank Rd Milton Cottage in Dunoon. A Campbell family were living there, headed up by a Hugh and Elizabeth.
Monica
Added: from the same search, there is also Milton Road, Milton Cottage. Milton Road seems to have a number of entries with different names for various cottages including a Milton Cottage.

Thanks for reply, the reason I am looking is oit as given as the place of birth on my Grandfather's birth certificate, his name was Donald MacKechnie, Donald's parents were Peter MacKechnie and Flora MacKechnie nee MacPherson, Donald was born in 1894 so maybe they moved in after the 1891 census, by the 1901 census young Donald and his mother are living in South Uist whilst Donald's father is deceased ( maybe ), another story, but thank you anyway Monica.

I dont know Ive replied to the correct thread but you were asking about Milton Cottage - that was my grans house - it is on Queen street - its a small stone cottage. My mother sold it about 2-3 years ago after my gran passed away. I have lots of good memories of time spent there

My gran had it for as long as I can remember (Im 44), she never changed it. It had a living room 1 bedroom (open to living room)1 bathroom and a teeny tiny kitchen. It was solid stone
not brick like a but and ben. One little side garden where my gran planted all her roses (teeny garden). After my mum sold it I believe the new owners had it all modernised (Im afraid). My gran never modernised anything in it but she did like a lick of paint and was always painting the stoop and the outside (last time I saw it it was a light blue with black - I live in the US now). I dont have any photos Im afraid we are not family of picture takers sadly. I can ask my mum more details maybe she remembers who it was purchased from.
