Mary MacEachern (1783-1856)
« on: Wednesday 06 April 16 15:21 BST (UK) »
I am looking for information on the parentage of Mary MacEachern. She married Angus Gillespie in 1813 in Kilchearan, Argyllshire, Scotland and the family later immigrated abt. 1830. to Canada. Online family trees suggest that her parents were Angus MacEachern and Sarah MacDougall, but I am looking for confirmation.

Sorry, typing error. Mary married Dugald Gillespie -- not Angus.

I see only one Mary born of an Angus MacEachern between 1780-1810 all of Scotland, no mother entered, including spelling variations but she is far too young to be married and having children in 1813.

I see no Gillespie/MacEachern Bann 1810-1830 all of Scotland, including spelling variations.

I do see the baptisms of these 4 children but then these dates don't correspond with an 1813 marriage unless there were more born prior to 1822.  But, what these do give you is an emigration date after 1833.

05/09/1822 GILLESPIE DUNCAN DUGALD GILLESPIE/MARY MACEACHERN FR13 (FR13) M KILCHOMAN /ARGYLL 540/00 0010 0015
11/12/1825 GILLESPIE MARGARET DUGALD GILLESPIE/MARY MACEACHERN FR33 (FR33) F KILCHOMAN /ARGYLL 540/00 0010 0052

So, either the records are lost or their families were not affiliated with the Established Church which makes your task a challenging endeavor.
