Hello Monica,
Thank you very much. Oh
Angus - there is one aged 15 listed in that 1841 census, a sibling of John and Effy.
I'm back to the parents of John on his death certificate - Alexander McPHEE and Mary CAMERON.
His marriage certificate says 'Marriage: 21 Jul 1844; John McPhee labourer, Mursherlich and Janet, daughter of Allan Stewart, Appin'
So he was in Mursherlich when he married but that does not prove he was born there.
Is there in fact a John MCPHEE born 1817-1821 in Kilmallie to parents Alexander and Mary CAMERON? If this is him in 1851, then where is the John from the 1841 census (with Effy) in 1851? In other words, did John the brother of Effy marry Janet STEWART and if not, who did that John marry?
