  Agnes McKoel was the daughter of John Mckoel decesed, late tennant of Craig.
 

I am not experienced in this era and place names, so just some notes on bits of info for you to follow up on...

www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk in their Wills & Testament section have a reference to: CRAIG IN CLACHANDYSART (or ZART). These are docs from the late 1600s.

Reference here in google books to Clahandysart:

https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=2c1JAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA1023&lpg=PA1023&dq=craig+CLACHANDYSART&source=bl&ots=_3sIb12fXU&sig=rKZYRrXw4X0i9b2PoRBNYUbDA68&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CCYQ6AEwAWoVChMIn7vlgvrYxgIVyo4NCh3cOQ3h#v=onepage&q=craig%20CLACHANDYSART&f=false

Might also have been known as Clahan Dysart?

 It gives that Duncan was the son of Donald Campbell and was of Gan'nan Beg.
Is that a place name or an abbreviation for one?

Hi wayanga,

Just to add to Monica's delights  ;D

I think by the spelling this may be in/from gaelic although where it is, is the question  ???

My reasoning is the "Beg/Beag" which in gaelic means small/little..........hope this helps.

Annie

ADDED...............I forgot to add it looks to be an abbreviation.

Is it possible to post an image please & where did the marriage take place  ???

I can't say for sure which it is to be honest but maybe someone with more info. on the historic side will be able to confirm one or the other as I can't find anything with historic background for the area.....sorry  ???

I've had a good look at 1841 census & nothing even similar showing  ???

Do you know what Duncan's occupation was as I'm wondering if it was the name of a farm rather than a place name  ???

Difficult one  ::)

             The only reference to Duncan's occupation that I have is from much later on, his daughter Margaret's death certificate in 1855, when he is referred to as "farmer".
 So you might be right, it could be a farm.
  I will try checking the baptisims for his other children on scotlandspeople and see if that reveals any other place names. There were 9 children so it is a possibility.

           The baptisims for son John 13 Nov 1762 Lochgoilhead gives Gaunan beg
Also for daughter Mary 5 Mar 1769 looks to be the same Gaunan beg.
 I may have missread the "u" as an "n"

There are references on here to Gaunan/Gaunans & also the surname which Monica referred to "Keol" but someone might be able to find it on an old map of Argyll  ???

A lot to read through to find them  ::)
