Hi , I have already posted a similar reply in the Invernesshire threads ~ sorry ,stupid mistake
Anyway I am a McDiarmid/McDermid desendant .I have a census 1851 and if anyone has anymore info on this branch ,it would be amazing to me ! The 1851 census shows Lachlan McLaren head aged 42 or 47 ,his wife Catherine (unsure of her maiden name either McMillan or MacDonald ,i think )then their 4 children May 22,Hugh20,Lachlan10 and Christy 7 ~ Christy also known as Christina is my great great grandmother . Lachlan snr,his wife Catherine and their daughter Mary were all born in Appin .Hugh ,Lachlan jnr and Christy (Christina ) were all born Morvern . My great great grandmother Christy married Archibald McDiarmid/McDermid .They moved to Bonhill and became the parents to my great grandfather Hugh McDiarmid/McDermid .Hugh married an Irish girl Mary Doyle 1902 and they became the parents of my gran Chrissy (Christina ) McDiarmid/McDermid b 1904 . My grandmother Chrissy married my grandfather Andrew (Andy) Connelly in 1923 ,they had my Dad Hugh McDiarmid Connelly in 1943 ,I was born 1971 my middle name is Christina . Any info on the McLaren or McDiarmid branches from Appin / Morvern would be most welcome and lovely to learn about . Thanks X
