Argyllshire / Re: McGougan/McGugan family Lochgilphead
« on: Monday 01 October 07 01:05 BST (UK)  »
I expect the family you are looking for left North Knapdale. They were one of many McGugan families in the area (#24 of 31 that I cannot connect). There were mass migrations in the 1840s and 50s.

24   Archibald McGugan & Flora McLean – Glensail
24.1   Donald: 1817, Nov. 2 - ?
24.2   Archibald: 1820, Jan. 16 - ?
24.3   John: 1824, April 3 - ?
24.4   Malcolm: 1826, May 27 - ?

I stopped in at the Archives in July and there was an archivist who replaced Murdo. They have some good estate records there that helped me out with families in North Knapdale.  Lochgilphead has bus service from Glasgow on the route to Campbellton, and is a nice compact little town. Another good place to try in Glasgow is the Mitchell Library.
