Peeblesshire / Re: Fell's of Lanarkshire some born Peeble's

There are two Hamilton's currently living in Carluke who are descended from Marion fell, I have spoken with both are not really interested in Genealogy.

These are descendants of Marion Fell and John Hamilton, married 12Aug1887 Lanark, (10 children)
Jane Hamilton and John Fell Hamilton are the first two. I have no information to confirm the first two were illegitimate.

Argyllshire / Re: Alexander Livingston c 1825 Balvicar Argyll

This is a long shot but I might have a connection to this.

From my side, I am connected to the MacNeils, two different ways, family tradition has it they were from Balvicar, however they may also be from Ardchonnel.

The connection is that a ?? Livingston signed the marriage certificate for Jane MacNeill and Duncan Campbell 1899 at Greenock. I can not make our the forename.

Please do a search for Mary Darroch, Killean, Glassary for more info

Argyllshire / Re: Duncan Sinclair Darroch, born Kilian nr Inveraray, 1874
« on: Monday 03 March 14 10:07 GMT (UK)  »
What's the saying, don't dig to deep?

Jane MacNeils parents were Dugald MacNeil and Mary Dawson. There maybe more but I have they had 3 children John MacNeil born 1864, Helen, and Jane at Milton, Glasgow.

On the census provided by Monica there is a John MacNeil nephew born 1865 in Glasgow. I seems likely that  Jane's mother Mary Dawson was the sister to Hugh Dawson, Duncan's adopted father, making them legally first cousins. They however no blood relation, and truly step cousins, but this may have caused some issue if true.

However I still believe Duncan knew his father to be Archibald Campbell, he moved back to Inverary and established his name as Duncan Campbell, it would not have been accepted in this small community for this not to be true. Duncan could have easily just accepted Dawson as his surname if he wanted to appear ligitimate, he choose a more risky approach and changed his name again to Campbell, his father must have accepted him for this to happen. I even think the community near Killean knew what happened and may have persueded him to change his name.

The biggest issue remains who is the father of Duncan.

Am I correct the only way to find this is through parish records? If so which church, where are the records kept.
