Hi Glynn

 

I think Duich Lotts might be the name of the farm as all the census has the same address Duich Lots

 

Did the John below end up in Saskatchewan Canada.

 

 

This is below  1891 Census for Scotland.  John Father Donald  is a  Crofter and living at the same address with his parents Archibald & Marron 1851 the address is called Duich Muir, but from 1861 Duich Lots ,Ploughman, 1871 Duich Lots Farmer son, 1881 same address Farm servant  and 1901 same address  Crofter.

Both my paternal grandparents were born on Islay. I have been told about the Island ever since I was very young. Grampa was John Currie, born in 1879 at Duich Lotts. His father was Donald Currie and his mother was Catherine McFadyen.

I would like to locate the farm where he was born and learn a bit about it. On an old map of Islay that I found on the internet I can see two places named Duich. One is located close to Bowmore, a little north and east. The other is located south and east of Bowmore, near the present day airport.

Would anyone know anything about these two locations which would allow me to learn which place was my grandfather's home?
