Hello
My 4xGreat Grandparents Donald Ferguson and Catherine McIntyre married on 8 Dec 1835.
They went on to have 9 children that i am aware of.
The problem i am having just now is finding a record of Donald Ferguson's Birth/Baptism.
Donald Ferguson died 30 July 1858, 46 years, cause Inflammation (12 weeks)
Father - John Ferguson
mother - Jean Kilpatrick
Informant - Catherine Ferguson, Wife.
According to this information Donald was born 1811/12.
A search on the IGI gives one child for John Ferguson and Jene Kilpatrick
- Ephric Ferguson (female) chnd. 22 Feb 1810, Killarrow, Argyll
However, Ted Larson's wonderful site gives 2 children
- Ferguson,John,Kilpatrick,Jene,Kilinaline,Ephric,22,Feb,1810
- Ferguson,John,Kilpatrick,Jene,Kilinaline,Finlay,14,Mar,1815
BUT there is directly below these 2 children the following
- Ferguson,John,Paterson,Jene,Kilinaline,Donald,31,May,1808
- Ferguson,John,Paterson,Jene,Kilinaline,Flora,23,Apr,1812
Firstly, Is Kilinaline the name of a Farm ?
Secondly, taking into account the first names, place names and dates could these 2 Jene's be the same person ?
I would be very grateful for any assistance at all.

I have traced my Ferguson ancestors back to Alexander Ferguson and his wife Mary McDiarmod. Like your John Ferguson Alexander is from Kilinaline. I wondered if these men might be brothers but have been unable to make any connection. However, in my research on the Scotlands People web site I found a John Ferguson married to a Jene Paterson who had a son Donald and a daughter Flora.
Also I found a Donald Ferguson and Catherine MacIntyre who had a son, Alexander, born 01/04/1849.
Could any of these be people you are looking for? Your posting was made quite some time ago and you may have found more evidence than was listed in 2007.
I'd be delighted to discuss this further if you are interested.

Hmmm....There can be few people better qualified to write of the recent history of ferries on the west coast of Scotland than Sandy Ferguson. Ferguson was born in Greenock but spent much of his childhood at Carradale, where he decided that he wanted to spend his life at sea.

Does anyone have information on Archibald Ferguson and wife Mary White or Whyte ? They both had passed before 1861 according to daughter's Mary wedding information to Duncan McCalman.
I've found birth of a couple of their children
Duncan born 12/12/1799 at Bowmore
then another
Duncan born 7/2/1801 at Bowmore
believe one of these Duncan's marries Mary Jane Adair from Bowmore who was born in 1801 on Nov 21 1822 in Paisley Low, Renfrewshire , Scotland. Return to Islay where the first 5 children are born ( Alexander, Archibald, John, Ann, Neil) and then in 1841 census reappear in Paisley, Renfrewshire living at 10 Lawn Street. Eventually coming to Canada living in Oro, Simcoe county, Ontario. immigrating between 1848 - 1851. Appear on 1861 census in Canada
Mary Ferguson (b) 1820 daughter of Archibald Ferguson and Mary White marries Duncan McCalman (b) 1825 widower on July 11 1861 in Kilchoman, Argyll.
Wondering if anyone might have more information or some connection on this Ferguson family.
Also if anyone is a direct Ferguson descendant have you or relative taken a DNA test. I have completed an 111 DNA marker test.
Thank you

Hi,
A long time after the original request for the location of Killinallan.
Yes it is/was a farm located at the NE(seaward) end of Loch Gruinart on Islay.
It is shown in the centre of this 25" OS Sheet from 1878 [Sheet CLXXXVI.14 Kilchoman] (http://maps.nls.uk/view/74481088).

Hi,
I have been trying to research my Ferguson ancestors and have hit a brick wall at my third great-grandfather, John Ferguson (1815-1892). For a long time I was lead to believe that he was born in Ayr to John Fergus(s)on and Nancy Miller. Now, I am beginning to think he may have been a Kilchoman Ferguson. I don't have much concrete evidence about his life, other than potential hints, like having two younger brothers, Donald and Neil. But I can't find anything and I really do hope that my ancestors came from Kilchoman! I would greatly appreciate any insights! I have done an Ancestry DNA test, but have been far too busy with other stuff to properly go through the results.

Hi Erin
I have those names in my Ferguson family tree as well. John , Neil and Donald as the younger brother. Donald was my connection. I've taken the DNA test as well and will search to see if we are a match at Ancestry. You can contact me at whips55@yahoo.com
Also check out my tree to see if that helps.

hi
islay births show a birth of Neil Ferguson to John Ferguson And ? Nancy 1824 kilnalin, Killarrow,
1841 census shows same parents with 2 sons Donald and Neil in Kilchoman Donald being the older son at 22 if these are your Johns Brothers then John would be older,
any info you have on the brother John may help me locate him on islay
