Argyllshire / Re: McGilthighnich (or Shaw) of Islay
« on: Wednesday 26 September 12 00:44 BST (UK) »
Bumping this up because I am also searching for any information on Archibald McGilthighnich b. c1745(my 5xggrandfather) and Duncan McGilthighnich Shaw b. c1770 (my 4xggrandfather). It appears that the name was changed to Shaw as the name McGilthighnich was dropped after Duncan. The name doesn't appear to show up anywhere else. I have checked the name Mac Ghille-Sheathanaich also in the hope that it was a phonetic mis-spelling but no luck there either?
