Hi Jimmac

This is a small snippet of info. from the link Monica posted - have a read
Finlay McIver married 06/04/1855 Uig
Ann McArthur parents Neil McArthur married Mary SMITH 9/03/1836 Uig
Here's the link to IGI familysearch so you can view the marriage details and the christenings of some children born to Finlay McIver & Ann, these are all extracted records

Hope this proves to be helpful and is the family you are looking for - let us know :)
Just a thought if you are looking for details when the MCIVER's emigrated to Australia it may be worth you putting a request on the Australia board I'm sure someone will be able to offer help :)
