Hi all;
Am only weeks away from leaving Scotland and am still attempting to find family members from the Kintyre area. At present the group I'm working on are the McNeills. My 3x great grandparents.
I am trying to find any records for;
Robert McNeill born approx. 1830
died prior to 1905
Elizabeth Johnston born approx. 1830
died prior to 1905
James McNeill born 1855
died 1905
From SP I was able to find my 2x great grandfather James marriage registration which lists Robert and Elizabeth and their home being Cr-----g Skipness.
James moved to Clachan where he married Grace Crawford. He worked in Glasgow and took the ferry home when he could. At some point in the spring of 1905 while waiting for the ferry he fell into the Clyde River and his body was found a few months later further down the Clyde. In his death registration Robert and Elizabeth are both listed as deceased.
As there are many McNeill lines I would love to discover which one our family belongs to. Any information that anyone might have would be greatly appreciated.
Once again I am so very grateful for this site and for all the wonderful people who are here to offer suggestions and tips.
Continuing to make my way through the fog both figuratively and literally!!
