Hi,I would love to find out about my Marquis family from Tarbert Loch Fyne.
I have an Alexander Marquis and a Catherine McCoag/McCaog announcing banns in 1818 in Kilcalmonnel and Kilberry, but I dont know anything else about Alexander or Catherine.
They have a son Dugald who married a Mary McMillan 1846 in Tarbert, Mary died before 1856 (havent found her death record yet), Dugald went on to marry a Mary Johnston in 1856,
Mary on her marriage certificate to Dugald states that her addoptive parent was a ? Johnston, I think there maybe a connection to a Gillespie
I have the family on my line nearly up to date, so if anyone can help with Catherine and Alexander,or Mary McMillan I would be really grateful.
names from Tarbert are,McEachern,McDougall,McFarlane,Bain,Sinclair,McLeod

Hi Dooker,I have a Catherine McCaog married to an Alexander Marquis,They were married 1818 in Tarbert,I am a descendant on the Marquis side.
My gran Flora was born in Tarbert,her father was Dougal Marquis he was a fisherman also born tarbert,I also have Bain,Sinclair,Mc Dougall and McEachern families also from Tarbert.
I have visited Tarbert a few times,I dont live that far from it,and love it there.
I didnt know that there were any Marquis families left in Tarbert,me and my husband spent a weekend there a couple of years ago, wish I had known then,will have to try and arrange another visit lol.

Hi ,
The Marquis I remember in Tarbert was James, he was a baker and his wife Mary. Surname for Mary I do not know, but last I heard she is 94 or 96 and lives with Daughter (*). Other daughter was Christine, she died
I am also interested in McDougall's as both grandparents were McDougall, also have Maceacherns in family. Tarbert still hasJohnson, Sinclairs and Bains as far as I know.
I thought that I read you were on Genes but I was not able to connect with Florabrooks.
www.ralstongenealogy.com will give you Tarbert graveyard.

Hi Flora, Yes I do believe there is a connection via the McDougalls. I have not done any research on that side but do have some info ,
My grandparents were:James McDougall b 05 11 1874 and Margaret McDougall b 19 06 1875. James' parents were James Mc Dougall and Mary Leitch.
Margaret's parents were Dugald McDougall and Margaret Gray.
This will give you an idea if they are in the same age group as your McDougalls.
My grandfather had no sibling named John Mc Dougall. My grandmother I do not know.
At this time I do know other McDougalls in Tarbert and I do believe they had John. They would be cousins I'm sure.
As I am new to Rootschat I do not know how I should give you more personal information in order that you may follow up with the people I know. I would get in touch with them to see if they are receptive for your follow up. Some people are not into family tree stuff!!!!!
Thanks for your replies. Dooker

I have been in touch with florabrooks before, way back in 2011 when I first looked at my family tree. I left it for quite some time but have recently returned to it and made quite a lot of progress. I realise that many of the gaps may have been stopped in the interval but I have a lot of info that might help.
My maternal great grandmother was Mary McCoag married to Alex Marquis. My mother's maiden name was Mary McCoag Johnson, following the traditional naming process as second daughter of James Johnson (Springside, Tarbert) and Mary Marquis, she was named after her maternal grandmother.
As first daughter of Duncan MacDougall, (Northlea) and Mary McCoag MacDougall (nee Johnson), ("Mary Bungalow" - aka Torranbeag, Pier Road) I was named after my maternal grandmother, Mary Marquis (MacDougall). My father was related to the MacDougalls that "Dooker" refers to. (Dooker's closely related to me on my paternal line, I think!) My paternal great grandmother was Mary Leitch and paternal great grandfather James MacDougall. The MacDougall side at my generation will be of little interest to you but the connection to Maria MacEachern, second wife of Alex Marquis and their children links in to the MacDougalls that live now at Duncarrick, Garvel Road, Tarbert. John MacDougall who lives at Duncarrick is the same generation as me. He is one of four children, he being the eldest. He has a brother William, sister Jane (deceased) and Rab (I think he's still alive, but perhaps not) John married a girl from Inveraray. John's mother, Grace, was from Northern Ireland. John's children are around the same age as mine.
I could go on and on. So many paths crossing or branches sprouting!!!
I'm very new to this site, first time I discovered it today! I might have got it terribly wrong but hopefully you'll get this connection and we can share the gaps.
The picture of Mary McCoag, my great granny, posted by Sharon, looks so like my granny, Mary Marquis. And the chair in the background looks very familiar!!!!!
Hope I've done this correctly and you get this. Happy if you want to forward it to Dooker. I'm intrigued

Hi Mary
Welcome to RootsChat :)
How exciting with all the connections! Everyone who has posted here should get a message that there is a new post (that is why I have come back on this post now). Hopefully you can make some contacts for this line.

Posting this message on behalf of Mary
Hi Dooker
Yes, that's right - Sunnycraig. So are you willing to disclose your identity? There are several lines I can think of.

Hi May,
This is Una Mc Dougall, Douglas Mc Dougall's sister. You would have know it was a Tarbert person with the Dooker name.!!!! As of yet I have not done much on the McDougall Family tree busy with my mother's side. There was about 13 of the Leitch family and Mary was the eldest.
