Argyllshire / Re: The Burgesses of Inveraray
« on: Friday 07 July 17 17:37 BST (UK) »
I realise that this is a pretty ancient post, but hey...
I'm looking for the family of four brothers, born in the area of Inveraray roughly 1808-1816 and named John, Hugh, Neil and Archibald McIntyre. I realise that unfortunately there are thousands of McIntyres in Argyll and that these are common names. John went to medical school in Glasgow, so I am guessing that his family probably weren't labourers. All four brothers subsequently went out to Canada, where they variously became a minister, an insurance agent and a shoemaker. About the fourth I only know that he worked in London before going out to join his brothers. I would be most grateful if you could identify any likely father.
Regards,
John's step-ggg-granddaughter-in-law. I think.
