hello and thanks fifer1947 and iain hedley. I do not have the birthdates of the other children nor know who Lachlan's parents were. I know he was a pilot. There was a story in the family about the McKinnons (Alexander took the a out from mac) and Bonnie Prince Charlie that my father spoke of. I have not been able to find out much about them but would love to know anything and I know the lineage from Alexander and some of his life here in Australia if anyone would like it. Cheers
So this is the family in 1841?

Hector bn to Flory and Lachlan is stated to have been born abt 1823, Kilmore, Isle of Mull, Argyllshire, Scotland. But there is another listed bn abt 1823 Island of Coll married to Catherine McKinnon and has 3 children. It is perfectly possible that the family moved about around the islands for Lachlan's job as a pilot. Have you checked for dates of death for both parents and the children on SP?
ETA The marriage for Flory and Lachlan shows on Familysearch as in Kilninian And Kilmore,Argyll,Scotland which is also Isle of Mull. The marriage is correct and on Scotland's People
