Donald McDuffie and Islay
I am trying to learn more about my second great-grandfather, Donald McDuffie (16 April 1814 to 25 January 1892. I believe he was born in Cornabus and I know emigrated to Canada, where he died in Markdale, Ontario. I believe his parents were John McDuffie and Diana Campbell. Donald arrived in Canada about 1849.
I know Donald McDuffie served as a postmaster in Markdale which was named Cornabus, after the hometown of Donald(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdale,_Ontario). I have attached the only photo I have of Donald McDuffie which was taken in Canada. Does anyone have any connections or information about Donald McDuffie or his parents John McDuffie and Diana Campbell? Thanks much, Justin Baer

The Gaelic surname MacMhuirich went through several stages of Anglicisation, becoming McVurich, McCurrie and Currie. They are all the same name really.

Hi Lois - I don't think i have anything for you. I have 3 Archibald Curries in my tree, one of which was born in 1840 and married a Flora, but she was a Campbell born in Scotland. They moved to Canada (Simcoe Co) as a family. I haven't a Flora Galbraith born in CA.

I also have an Archibald Curie born on Islay in 1820 (father also Archibald, born 1795). He moved to Ontario and married Ann Gillespie there in 1845. They ad a daughter, FLora, my great-grandmother, born in 1861 and married Thomas Charles Preston in 1882. Do these match with any of your Archibalds? Sharee

Wayne's 3x ggm was a Mary Currie (1787-1862) whose parents were Donald Currie (1760-1840) and Ann McEachern. I haven't been able to ascertain Donald's siblings, if any, or his parents. The only info I've found lately from another tree shows Donald's father as Ivar McVurich. There's no explanation for the name change so I haven't added this to my tree. Didn't mean to digress but where I was going with that thought was that Donald may have been a great-uncle to your Archibald. Sorry that I'm not able to follow that line at all to see if that's even a remote possibility.

Janice, Is one of your McGilvray-Ferguson couples Donald McGilvray and Ann Ferguson who married ca. 1786? If so, do you have a DNA test? I have a hypothesis that this couple are my direct paternal ancestors, so comparing DNA would be interesting.
Thanks, Russ McGillivray

Hi Janice
One of my Islay connection is via my gr-grandfather Archibald CURRIE who was born there about 1840. He came to Canada in 1865, per the 1901 Ontario Census. In 1871 he married Flora GALBRAITH ( born in Ontario) in Oro Township, Simcoe County, ON. The marriage registration gives his parents names as James and Lizzie. Archie and Flora had 8 children including my grandmother Lizzie.
The only possible find for him in Scotland was this:
"Transcription of the 1841 Census of Kilmeny, Islay, Scotland, LDS film 101812" Parish, Place, First Name, Surname, Sex, Age, Occupation, Place of birth Kilmeny, ,Keppols, James, Currie, Male, 35, Tailor, ARY Kilmeny, ,Keppols, Elizabeth, Currie, Fem, 35 ARY
Kilmeny, ,Shinghart, Neil, McDermid, Male, 40, Ag. Lab., Born Elsewhere Kilmeny, ,Shinghart, Jean, McDermid, Fem, 40, Born Elsewhere Kilmeny, ,Shinghart, Peter, McDermid, Male, 19, Born Elsewhere Kilmeny, ,Shinghart, Charles, McDermid, Male, 10, ARY Kilmeny, ,Shinghart, Catherine, McDermid, Fem, 8, ARY Kilmeny, ,Shinghart, Archibald, Currie, Male, 4, ARY
I don’t this McDermid family.
Do you know of my CURRIE family ?

Re: #Admin - new cover photo
#Admin
Seymour - your lovely photo is already in our album. (Now several copies though.) I'll make it a cover photo later today. It's nice to have a few to change periodically. Members must agree to be public in the directory. Few have done that. (I can see you all though.) There's a link to 'Contact Group Owner' at the bottom of every e-mail. You can add me to your address book if you like as: diane_rogers@... I'm pretty open on the web :-) Diane M Diane Rogers, Admin

Re: Old Bowmore circa 1910
Janice McClelland
Fabulous photo! If I'm deducing correctly from the map, this is taken at the harbour looking up Main Street. This was taken within a couple of years of my husband's grandmother leaving Islay so gives us an indepth sense of what Bowmore looked like as she grew up. If only we had a photo of her as a young woman, we'd really be able to 'see' her here.Thanks for sharing.

Hi there
I tried to upload a photo - failed! Then I tried to e-mail Diane - I can't see your e-mail address. There is a list of 6 people in the member directory. Thoughts? Seymour

Re: Roll Call ?

Hello Michael, I am descended from a Mary Sinclair 1775 - 1853 who married Alexander Campbell. Her father was John Sinclair b abt 1740 married to Catherine McCuaig abt 1755-1811. I looked at our shared DNA M645852, the biggest porttion was only 4cms on CHR 12. Interestingly when I look at my DNA links on DNA painter I find that I have links from <1m - 12M as Campbell/Sinclairs. And you fit within that larger portion. Hope that makes some kind of sense to you. As I am not expert on the tehn terms. Unfortunately an error came up on M143149 My Ged No is A768704. Let me know what you think Johan
