Argyllshire / Burials on lismore
« on: Monday 06 September 21 18:05 BST (UK)  »
I believe we have traced my husbands McMillan roots to the isle of Lismore. A marriage in Ardnarmurchan in 1819 places the groom, Dugald Macmillan as a shepherd of Lismore. Te youngest child of the marriage is subsequently baptised at Lismore in 1831. Dugald dies some time before 1838 when his wife remarries. As he appears to have returned to his family home by 1831 together with the desire to be buried with your forefathers I am working on the assumption that he is buried on Lismore.

No burial records survive and I am just wondering if there are any monumental inscriptions which may exist/have been recorded for the 1830,s?   We are currently on holiday in Strontian (from Pembrokeshire) which we had believed to be the family roots but recent discoveries have now directed us to Lismore.

Argyllshire / help with reading a census entry
« on: Sunday 02 May 21 23:10 BST (UK)  »
Hi are there any experts out there who can help to "translate" a placename on a census entry please?
The entry is from the 1851 census and relates to a Catherine McMillan. We have "lost" a Catherine Mcmillan born in the vicinity of Morvern?Strontium around 1835 and are wondering whether the Catherine Mcmillan on this 1851 census entry working as a servant at Largs in Ayrshire, might be her. We can read Argyllshire but not the town of birth. The entry we are looking at is the one above Perthshire. Many thanks
