Roll Call ?
My ancestors are: Stewart, McEwing/McEwen/McOuin; Brown; McTaggart; McCaig/McCuaig; Wallace; Stevenson; McGeachy; Gilchrist
Archibald McEwing, born btwn 1730-40, married Katherine McTaggart in Kildalton on Dec. 21, 1759. Son John McEwing born 1761 in Kildalton, married Janet McTaggart on Feb. 7, 1790. A son John born 1807, married Flora Stevenson, daughter of Neil Stevenson and Catherine McTaggart, about 1825. Child from the marriage was Joseph McEwing, born July 24, 1828 in Killallan, died Jun 14, 1888 in Campbeltown, Argyll. Joseph married Mary Wallace, daughter of John Wallace and Margaret Gilchrist on Dec. 13, 1853 in Campbeltown. Mary was born on Jan. 6, 1829 in Killean. A child from this marriage was Catherine McEwing, born March 10, 1857 in Campbeltown, died May 18, 1921. Catherine married Hugh Stewart on Dec. 1, 1885. Hugh was son of John Stewart and Mary McCaig/McCuaig. Hugh was born in August 1846 in Easdale. Mary McCaig was daughter of Donald McCaig and Betsy Brown. John was a Tinsmith. Hugh & Catherine had a son, Robert McEwing Stewart, born July 25, 1886, died July 25 1958 in Winnipeg, MB Canada. Hugh Stewart is my “brick wall”. He was my paternal grandfather and I want to know where and when he died. After a hasty marriage to Catherine, he seems to have disappeared. I have early records of his life….he was a Masons Labourer. At age 17 he joined the army, 73rd Foot, and served long enough to have a Chelsea Pension. I’ve been unable to find any further record of his whereabouts and his death. Any help most appreciated!!

Interesting, Maybe Donald Brown and my 3X great grandmother Mary Brown are related. Do you happen to have taken a DNA test? I have results on Ancestry and I also have trees there if you are interested Regards Johan

Anne Farrar
Hi
I am Anne (McNabb) Farrar. My ancestors from Islay were tenants in the Oa.
Andrew and Catherine (McMath) McNabb were born in the 1770’s and married at
Kildalton in February of 1802. In 1830 2 of their elder sons Andrew and Duncan
arrived in Canada and in 1832 they took up land in Oro Township, Simcoe County
Ontario. Over the next 20 years a total of 6 sons and a daughter all moved to
Oro Township. Most of the children had married in Islay and some had several
children when they arrived in Canada.
Surnames include McNabb, McMath (Matheson), McEachern, Morrison, Woodrow,
McCuaig
Thanks, Anne
Hi, everyone.
There are now 177 of us here. Would you like to start a roll call? Just the
Islay people's names and places you are interested in.
I am thinking we can also build up a database for the people we are
researching.
We can post images too - however - there is an overall size limit for
images on free lists here. So be cautious and resize them, please. I would
love to see photos of those we know came from Islay, if we have them.

I also have a photo of Lachlan’s gravestone in the grounds of the old Kilmeny church. So I don’t push the size limit for images on this site I’m happy to send the information directly to your private email address. My address is john.mckinnon@... Cheers John McKinnon

Hi,
I am researching Duncan Fletcher (appears as James Duncan Fletcher on his marriage record) born c 1831 Islay. He may be associated with the Fletchers in Octomore.
He married Mary Gillies (GIllis) in Ontario in 1856. She was born 1834 on Islay and believe she is the daughter of Charles Gillies and Margaret MacArthur.

Re: McFadyens in Lornesville, Ontario
Alasdair Mcdougall <alasdairh@...>
Charles, I was born in Toronto in 07/01/1932, father Donald, born in Port Ellen 1892. I remember two trips North to Lornesville to visit Dad's two relations Sarah and her batchelor brother who's name escapes me. One visit was memorable as Dad ran over a skunk!!! I remember playing with the water pump and a big pumpkin. After we returned to Glasgow at the end of 1936, Sarah sent me comic sections of Canadian papers which I enjoyed.
I wish to find out where they are connected to my family tree
Regards,
Alasdair

Re: Robert Donald Keith 1924-2010
J LOCHRIDGE
Thank you so much Sue. I corresponded with Robert for a short timebefore he went into the nursing home. He was steeped in Keith family history. So many of them made the journey to Canada......I suspect that my 2X great grandmother just could not face making the journey and most of her family remained with her here in Scotland. I am so pleased to get the attachments from you. Cheers Johan

Thank you, Sue. I met Robert when he visited Minnesota, trying to make a connection with me and my brother. Neither one of us knew anything about our heritage at that time.
