Argyllshire / Charles McArthur & Mary Campbell, parents?
« on: Sunday 24 July 22 12:56 BST (UK) »
Looking for help on parents or birthdates of Charles McArthur and Mary Campbell.
Charles and Mary were married in Kilcalmonell and Kilberry, Argyll in 1808; they both resided in Dunmore. I have their 8 kids (my paternal line is from James (1819)).
However, I cannot figure out how to get Charles or Mary's birth info. There are 8 Mary's listed in Kilcalmonell with birthdates 1770-1796 (I figured earliest Mary could be for marriage was 12). There is only 1 Charles in Kilcalmonell during this same time period - but he was born 1807 - not the one I am looking for. If I increase the search to all of Argyllshire, there are 11 matches [from FamilySearch searches].
Ancestry trees have Charles parents as Duncan and Elfie McLean; but there are no records for this - it appears to be just conjecture. Same with Mary - shows Alex Campbell and Janet Ross, but no source info - I think just Ancestral Family Trees that have been copied from one to another.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
