My GGFather John Donaldson married Margaret McAlister Dec 6 1877 in Campbeltown, Argyll. He lists his parents as John and Catherine who died before his wedding. She had a brother James and lists her parents as Archibald McAlister and Janet McArthur. My Great Grand Father was a cooper in one of the local distilleries. They Stayed there until atleast 1896, and are probably buried there. They had 8 children John born 1895, Janet b.1879?, Catherine b. 1885? who married David Evans and had 1 son David. Margaret b. 1880?, Elizabeth b. 1896?, Alexander b. 1891?, Archibald b. 1889?, and maybe Duncan b. 1892? who may have died young. Any info would help!

Don't know if you have checked out the IGI or any of the census information, but I've come up with this so far:
From 1881 census:

Volume 507 ED 15 Page 3
John DONALDSON Head M 27 M b Glasgow, Lanark Cooper
Margaret DONALDSON Wife M 24 F b Campbeltown, Argyll Cooper's wife
Janet DONALDSON Daughter 2 F b Campbeltown, Argyll,
James MC ALISTER Bro in law Boarder M 29 M b Campbeltown, Argyll, Fisherman
Agnes MC ALISTER Bro in Law wife M 21 F b Campbeltown, Argyll, Fishermans Wife
Harveys Lane Campbeltown, Argyll
Volume 507 ED 20 Page 2
Archd. MC ALLISTER Head M 57 M b Argyll, Scotland Fisherman
Janet MC ALLISTER wife M 55 F b Argyll, Scotland
Alex. MC ALLISTER son U 22 M b Campbeltown, Argyll Fisherman
Robt. MC ARTHUR U nephew 21 M b Argyll, Butcher
Duncan CAMERON boarder U 12 M b Argyll, Scholar
Archibald & Janet married 4 Jun 1850 Campbeltown (see Familysearch for exact baptism dates) – six children :
James 1851, Mary Muir 1853, Margaret 1856, Alexander 1859, John Thom 1861 and Janet 1864.
A few leads to follow up there.
Good luck

Good morning,
A stab in the dark, but, I am seeking the birthplace of my GGreatGrandmother Ann McALISTER who was born 'in Scotland' about 1810.
She married James FOLEY and lived in London in the 1835-1843 period.
With thanks
Bruce EDMONDS

Sorry EDO, I've not come across anyone of that name but I'll let you know if I do. On the subject of McAlister, I have found further McAlisters in the tree. I have a Neil McAlister( parents Neil & Margaret McAllister) born 1891 who married Flora Scally in Campbeltown in 1922.I also have a Donald McAllister, born 1892( parents Duncan McAllister &Jessie Stalker) who married Catherine Scally in 1914. I also have some McArthurs dotted about. Does anyone recognise the McAlister names.
