             Sorry about the dates. they would have beaten Cook to Australia in 1737! But 1771 is correct for my Peter McKellar.
    Scottish  parish records are best from Scotlandspeople.org  You have to join and then buy some credits to look at the records.
  This site is also excellent if you are having trouble, there are some wonderfull volunteers here who go to a lot of trouble on your behalf and they have access to a lot of material that we cannot view from Australia.
  With thier help I was able to solve my dilema with Margaret Campbell and find her parents and Grandfather. I assume that you must be using Ancestry, beware of thier hints, most do not relate to your individual. But they do have the shipping arrivals in Australia.
 Good hunting

Thanks Wyanga.
I have found mention that my Peter's wife Mary may also have been a McKellar and a birthdate of 4/5/1778 in Dunoon is given so that could be a line to chase down. It would be great to have photos and more details on our ancestors, it really gets me in.
Thanks for your help.

  Hi This looks as if is the baptism for your Duncan ( married to Jean Craig )

1   19/10/1810   MCKELLAR   DUNCAN   PETER MCKELLAR/   M   SADDELL AND SKIPNESS   /ARGYLL   531/00 0010 0052   

 Note that the mariage 4 above of Peter and Mary McKellar is in Saddell and Skipness in 1799, so that is likely to be the correct one to be Duncan's parents. There are likely to be other children for this marriage . Search for baptisms 1800 to 1820 for McKellar in Saddell and Skipness with father Peter.

         These are the children for Peter McKellar Saddell & Skipness. It appears that there were 2 Peters having children about the same time. Searched 1800 to 1820.
   You will need to view each one to get the right ones by town or villiage. Compare to Duncan's.

Yes Wyanga. Thanks again - from comparing with other sources it does seem you have the correct Peter and Mary married in Saddell and Skipness and that is where Duncan was christened on 19/10/1810. Thanks so much again.

                Happy to have been of help
    I really do think that you need to register at Scotlandspeople and check the original entries for the marriage and to sort the children out. Registration is free but you will need at least 40 credits to check them out possibly around 10 pound stg.
    There is likely to be more detail in the entries than there is in these transcriptions.
   If you intend to track this family further back you will need Scotlandspeople.

Yes thanks again Wyanga. I will register with Scotland's People.
One of Duncan's siblings, Mary also seems to have come to Australia so that is also interesting.
Good luck with your search. Cheers.

              I only searched for the children for Peter McKellar 1800 to 1820 at Saddell & Skipness,
you may ned to extend this search to 1830 or more. There is not a Mary included in the ones I found. Incidently put Saddell in the search bax for Parish.
