I have a record of a Catherine Watson b30th Oct 1861 at Muasdale to David Watson fisherman and Elizabeth McMillan who were married at Killean Manse August 1848.
I think this David is a brother of James Watson [who is an ancestor of mine] and a son of James Watson and Jean/Jane Greenlees.
I think Elizabeth McMillan's family lived in Clachaig, which is a farm near Muasdale.
According to my notes, David and Elizabeth had other children: Mary bc1850, James bc1853, Jane b24/8/1856, Elizabeth b20/12/1858 and Donald b1/9/1863. Do any of these names match up with what you have?
Best Wishes Mary

Her mother's name was Elizabeth McMillan of Mull of Kintyre. Any information about the Watsons and the McMillans would be much appreciated. I'm also wondering if there are still any family members living in those areas? Catherine and her parents came to Australia in 1874/75 on the "Aberdeen Steamship Line". Thank you. Sharon, Australia
