Addresses in the Isle of Bute.

Hi All.   Flattybasher9, yes, those are my Purdons. Alas, Daisybank is at Kilchatten Bay on the other side from St Ninians Bay. Thanks for the Straad mention - I found the Valuation Roll for 1920. Unfortunately most are referred to as house, house cows & grass. No Daisy Cottage and no names that I recognize. Susannah's death was reported by a Robert ??McWeir, nephew, present ( address Battlefield, Glasgow). Another link to try. Have two VRs 1920 for north Bute if anyone is interested. Thanks again.

Hi All.
 Monica, I can probably give you the name of the blacksmith, one Daniel Shaw Snr!
 My VR covers Straad at the head of the bay only.       
 Just found  ....   www.scapetrust.org/pdf/Clyde_Bute/Bute_map8.pdf 
 Mentions Daisy Cottage South/Daisy Cottage East/Butt Leany Lower. Outside my VR.

Will probably be pushing up Daisy(s), before any names are found.

Hi. Thanks Don. I found these later on Familysearch.org whilst 'trolling'. On their version, you can enter your key word in a search box, and it will be highlighted throughout the directory, making it much faster.
I guess that I am at a dead end as far as Persons of Interest are concerned. However I have just received an email from someone that I had contacted, assuming that he was in Bute, only to discover that he is in Western Australia! I will follow his links and post back, should I find something of interest
Thank you to all who have given of their time. It has been most appreciated.

Hi All. Looked at the link I was given to Bute's Sons and Daughters. My McAfee Site Advisor threw a tantrum - phising web site. Took a chance and enjoyed the ' old people's stories'. To send/ask a question, I had to provide all my details and I opted out! What a pity, but can't be too careful.
So, will remain an enigma for the moment. Thanks again to all who took the time to post a reply.
Tasman.
