Sorry, Derek, just seen your last post...

The address that you quote of 18 Castle Street, Rothesay, is this the address of the bride at the time of the marriage? Doesn't necessarily indicate it was her family address I would say.

Re farmer, it had a very wide encompassing meaning!

Yes, but perhaps not as bad as the old "Ag. Lab." catch all  ::)

Thanks very much for all your detective work Monica, you've given me plenty to look into and iron out.

Cheers again,
Derek.

I've found them in the 1911 census and there is further detail regarding Marions birthplace, Loch Skipport, South Uist.

Hi Anne Marie,

Thank you for the marriage date. This family line has always been the most difficult to nail down.
Does the info come from a gravestne or OPR?

Thanks,
Derek.

Hi Derek, Hopefully you receive this message.
I am also a descendent of Margaret Campbell McLean b. 9th February 1879. Rothesay (My Great Grandmother). I am trying to put the pieces together and have hit a bit of a bump in the road regarding my maternal Grandmother Margaret Ann McLean who was born in 1905 to Margaret Campbell McLean prior to her marriage to Peter Miller, 22nd September 1911 and of any subsequent children. Hoping you can shed a bit more light as I cannot find a birth certificate for Margaret Ann.

Thank you. Irene (South Australia)

That's a pretty dud transcription.

FindMyPast has
Niel Campbell
John MacLeod, Boarder
and the address as Lochskipport, which makes sense.

Quote
And 1871:
Mary Campbell 57...a second marriage or is Marg. being read as Mary?
FindMyPast has Mary, as does the index at SP.

Quote
Address: Baynafaoliron, Howmore, South Uist
I think that will be an anglicisation (or a transcription of an anglicisation) of Bàgh nam Faoileann (Bay of the Gulls). There isn't a Bàgh nam Faoileann named on the map at Loch Skiport, but there is a Loch nam Faoileann just a couple of hundred yards from the sea, and the first edition Ordnance Survey map shows a track to, and couple of buildings close to, the shore there, at Caolas Mòr. https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=15&lat=57.32800&lon=-7.25395&layers=5&b=1

Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
