Euphemia
              even if that flora isnt yours that familly emigrating there around the correct time
gives you a very good reason for the other flora from Tirvaigain going to Canada,
she went out with uncle and cousins maybe the whole familly went,
the flora with john and euphimia i think was to young theres one with effie mceachern on the 41 census she 2 years old

[raonull4]

i m getting very close to betting all your money on the tirvaigain Flora

[raonull4]

hi
   i ve gone through the 1811  tennants  list and this is what i ve found The MacArthurs  , Gilchrists, Calders all mostly in kildalton but there is  others scattered around the Island,
Mceachern, Darroch, Currie, mostly in the Kilmeny  and central area of the Island,
those Mceacherns you found in edgar most of the ones i ve checked and can identify
are all from around the same area as Tirvaigain, so is that Euphemia Darroch

[raonull4]

and this is where euphemia Mceachern ( Darroch) is with 3 kids on the 1841 census

Hello Raunoll4

You are probably correct that Flora McEachern from Trivagarn is my great grandmother.  A Donald McEachern and his brothers James, John and Archibald from Islay did settle in Oro.  Donald was born 1781 and died 1860.  He is buried at Knox Presbyterian Cemetery and it is on the website.  From the old maps I have seen of Oro the McEachern's owned a lot of land in the township. 
Knox's records only go back to 1864
I have read most of them came over on the Armada known as "The White Sails"  I am sure there would be no surviving passenger lists and as they no doubt came steerage their names would not have been listed.

this might give you more to work on

[raonull4]

old age is catching up with me that also looks like her brother neil born about 1817

[raonull4]

the  neil  married in Scotland 1847 which suggests they sail between 1848 and 1851
with a bit of luck there might be passenger lists from Glasgow or Greenock,
the bargue ellen and the hope sailed between those the imigrant ships transcribers guild might
those 2

i have no idea what the columns mean or if its just giving the head of a familly and numbers traveling with him however 1847 is reasonable depend when in 1847 that Neil married on islay
