Hi LA Blue,
It's ages since I've been on Rootschat, and have only just seen your post.
Although I can't help with your names, my Blues were born and married in Kilberry and Kilcalmonell. Dugald Blue married Mary Bell in 1821 and his children were Margaret, born 1823, Archibald 1825, John 1827, Colin 1829 and Christian (female) 1831. Anything familiar there?
Dugald's father was Donald, no details known.

Hi AScot,
I'm afraid that I can't help you with James Ferguson, but have forwarded your message on to someone who I thnk can.
However, my ggrandfather, John Blue, was on the 1851 census as staying with James at the Portenstuck Inn with his new wife Margaret Ferguson. Could she be James's grandaughter? They are supposed to have had their 1st son, Dugald there, but unfortunately he seems to be unrecorded.
Good Luck  Blueth

I am looking for information about John and Margaret Blue, nee Ferguson who were staying with James Ferguson at the ??Portenstock Inn in Kilmun as visitors on the 1851 census. Dugald Ferguson and family are next door. I am trying to trace a son of John and Margaret, Dugald Blue, born in Kilmun in 1852.  Any hints welcome.    Blueth

Hi Monica and Thrall, I am very much still with you, just rather overwhelmed by all this info! Takes a while to digest. I have a copy of Dugald's death cert. It states -DoD 3rd Feb 1928, age 75,Occup: commercial traveller, present at registration Dugald, place of death 3 Fairfield Park, Dublin.
I am going to try and get someone to investigate the few remaining census in Ireland. If they give place of birth there it'll probably just say Scotland, but it's worth a try.
Very many thanks for all your work, it'a amazing and so exciting. My e-mail is

Has anyone information about Dugald Blue, believed to be born in Kilmun, Argyllshire in May 1852. His father's name was John. I have no more ideas, and am stuck!

Very excited to read your message. Dugald and Mary were my grandparents. I thought he was born in Greenock in1855 and went to Ireland aged 17. His son Dugald, my father, was born in Dublin 1n 1881 and I am the offspring of his 3rd marriage. Frances, Barbara, Anna  and Dugald were born to his 1st wife. My father had 7 siblings-Archibald John, Colin who died aged about 18, Hugh, Gerald, George and Ellen Mary (Nell). I believe that the last 3 boys went to USA. You must be the offspring of one of these? Look forward to hearing more! Blueth
