Still searching our various Islay ancestors.
Just broke a Brick Wall from there.
Found the birth of my Islay GG Dugald CAMPBELL,

Valuation Rolls
There don't seem to be any Valuation Rolls published for Islay. Is this correct?
My grandmother, Flora McDiarmid, was born on Shore Street in Bowmore, Islay, Argyle, in 1883. Of course there are no

Re: Valuation Rolls
Hi Glynn
I can't answer your question about valuation rolls. All I can say is that I haven't come across anything like them for the towns and villages, though there are lists that hint

Re: Valuation Rolls
PS There is an Archibald McDermid living in a house in the right parish, but the place just says "House", not Bowmore or Shore Street. You would probably have to buy some credits to see if

Re: Valuation Rolls
Hello Glynn,
If it helps at all - in the 1828 Black Book (List of Tenants on the Estate of Islay), I see a listing for "Neil McDearmid's heirs" in Bowmore. No specific address back then.

Re: Currie / McVurich - please help
I don't know that I can help with your ancestry, but I do know that McVurrich was the original name of the Currie clan and was anglicized to Currie, but don't know what year that happened.

Re: Currie / McVurich - please help
Thank you, Sharee! The article Glynn shared mentions the anglicization of Scottish surnames in the 18th century. With Donald born abt 1760 that is a perfect fit. And thank you, Glynn, for the link to
