thanks folks.  the john haldane who married agnes mcconchie was my 7 x ggrandfather.  weirdly enough, the burn which starts practically outside my front door, runs though colmonell where they lived.  as i just found out this info, and dont come from this area myself, found it really interesting.  i have johns parents as david haldane (1720-) and janet frier (1723-)from borthwick, midlothian, from ancestry registers, which cant then be acurate if john was born in 1706 or thereabouts.  more digging needed lol.  cheers and happy hunting

hi, i have some haldanes in colmonell from john haldane b 1735, d 15 feb 1787 in colmonell, and wife agnes mcconchie b 1736, colmonell? ayrshire d 1790 colmonell.  Their son john haldane b 26 oct 1765 in dam con colmonell, d 5 oct 1840 married elizabeth mcilwain b 1804 wigtownshire d 1840  they married in stoneykirk 15 apr 1790.  (she was 24 and he was 39).  also a possible early marriage for agnes mcconchie to john fergusson b 1735 kirkoswald.  marriage dated 23 jan 1757 in kirkoswald.  she was 21 he was 22.
would the 1706 date for john haldane be a misprint either on the records or the grave marker or transcribing problem?  or is he the "1735" john the son of the 1706 one and could agnes have  married both?  interesting, lainey

Hi there, Iain.  Great stuff.  finally getting somewhere with the line too.  Yes I'm on ancestry - the tree name is Irvine Family Tree and goes down the Scott and McFadyen/McPhaden and McFarlane line.  Some Coll (Cliad) and some in Tiree (Salem).  I'll have a look at your tree.  Cant do private msg on this yet as I just rejoined after years and can't remember passwords etc on the original one.  No matter.  Be nice to check your side and the grandfathers in common on Anc.  Thanks for your reply.  Happy hunting, Lainey (Lainey Irvine on ancestry)

Hi, researching Coll and Tiree ancestors and noticed this post.  My McFarlane side is Malcolm McPhaden and Flora McFarlane.  Floras parents Donald McFarlane (b 1767)and Anabella MacLean (1760ish?).  Donalds parents were Duncan McFarlane (b 1739) and Katharine McLean (1745 - 1784).  Duncans parents are John McFarlane (b1710) and Marion McArthur (1716).  Some dates are approximate and I just started on this line so any Coll or Tyree help would be appreciated.  Malcolm (1794 - 1869) was a shoemaker in Salem on Tyree where he was born and he died in Caolis, and Flora 1785 - 1862) was born on Tyree and died in Coll.  Their children were Angus McFadyen (m. Ann McTavish), Mary, Lachlan, Annabella, Flora, all born between 1815 and 1831.  Angus's daughter Isabella McFadyen (b. 1842)was my gg grandmother and married William Scott.  Looking for Anabella (1760's) MacLeans parents and any other leads.  The family finally ended up in Paisley via Kilbirnie in Renfrewshire, Scotland.  Fingers crossed.  Fascinated
