Can anyone help with the location  of Annait in Inverchaolin ?

I have Inverchaolain  church records for births 1785,1804 and 1813 of McKellars with the place of birth "Annait"

I also have a marriage  in 1784 of Duncan McKellar to  Margaret Brown from "Annait".

I have searched the old maps and  although there is a tobar na t Annait in glendaruel but I'm not convinced that is relevant

Thank you Monica
Yes I think that is Archibald's death certificate and would put his birth in 1787. If his age is correct he would have been born between the two sisters Mary and Janet.
Thanks for your help.

My next challenge is finding the parents of Archibald's father Duncan McKellar married to Margaret Brown in 1784👍

David again,

I, too, would be interested in hearing more about possible name changes between McKilmichal and Brown.  My 4 x great grandmother Janet McKellar was from Loch Striven and her brother Duncan McKellar married a Margaret Brown in 1784 who is hard to find in earlier documents.  Your suggestion might explain that.

I am new to Roots chat so bear with me if  I've got it wrong. The Duncan McKellar married to Margaret brown in 1784 is, I think,my 4 x great grandfather. I have reached a block in finding his  parents names to allow me to research a bit further back. I would be grateful for any help.

Also Janet the daughter of  Duncan McKellar and Margaret Brown is said to have  6 siblings. I believe  Archibald McKellar who married Isobel McNicol in 1809 my 3x great grandad, is her brother but cannot  find a birth record. Does anyone have any information re his birth circa.1790
