Argyllshire / Re: Duncan McAulay Portnahaven Islay

Thank you. Yes the death certificate did give his parents' names-I did not realise this. So this rules out the Kilcalmonell & Kilberry thread. I will try to follow up John McAulay & Mary Carmichael in Portnahaven.
Best wishes

Argyllshire / Duncan McAulay Portnahaven Islay
« on: Sunday 24 June 18 17:01 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to trace a Duncan McAulay pre 1811. He died in 1858 in Portnahaven Islay and I have traced him in each census prior to this. Freecen records him in 1851 aged 70 as being born in Portnahaven. I have found his marriage to Marrion McDougall, in Kildalton Islay  21/09/1811.

There is a Duncan McAulay born in 1787 in Kilcalmonell & Kilberry but if Freecen is correct, this is unlikely to be him.

Does anyone have ideas of where I may search next?

Attached 1851 pdf census detail. Can anyone decipher the word written under John McManus Lodger aged 1 living with the Keir family at 93 High Street, please? I think his mother may have died.

Many thanks.

Hi Norrie

Can you find any trace of a John and Janet Gillies nee Thomson?
The last address I can find is in the 1871 census at 158 Campbell Street, John 65 and Janet 61.
I think John may have died in Dunfermline in 1884 aged 88 and Janet in 1884 aged 76.

Many thanks
G
