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.

Bernie.

Looking for:

(1) Marriage information for Mary Quinn (b. abt 1841, Amargh) and John Austin (b. abt 1840, Down, Ire) - based on census information (1881 UK Census) - appears married about 1863-1864 (first child's age).

I've tried Familysearch and IrishGenealogy.ie, but cannot find the information.

Thank you!

Fife / Paterson/Bruce
« on: Tuesday 25 June 13 02:52 BST (UK)  »
Looking for next generation of both John Paterson, (born (I believe) in Ceres, Fife about 1750) and Isabel Bruce (about 1750).   They were married 28 Jan 1770 in Auchterderann (sp?).  They had 3 children, Janet (1770), Archibald (1773) and George (1775) [Note: George is my direct line ancestor].

Renfrewshire / Need Help on Ancestors - McArthur, Patterson, Cameron
« on: Friday 21 June 13 13:23 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for more information on 2nd Great-Grandfather's family:

James McArthur born about 1819 in Scotland and died in 1887 in Lynn, Massachusetts, USA, married a Jeannette Cameron born about 1828 in Scotland and died in 1897 in Lynn.  They were married about 1849 (in Scotland?).

Jeannette's parents were James Cameron and a FNU Patterson.

I believe James's parents were John McArthur (1799) in Renfrewshire married to Janet (LNU) (1803).  This is based on one census from 1841 Scotland, showing James, and the 1851 Scotland census showing James had left.

James and Jeannette arrived about 1860 in Pennsylvania, then moved to Rhode Island, and finally to Lynn.
