Unfortunately I've got more on Catherine    Hugh and Christina had a daughter Christina baptised 13 Jul 1854 in Inverchaolain. That's all I've got I'm afraid - no other records relating to them in the parish registers in nearby parishes either, and no gravestones.

What was the name of yr 3ggf who was born in Porlindrain?

Catherine McKechnie (b1831 d1899) married Angus Sinclair (b1841 d 1916) and I know of four children; Alexander, Catherine, Jessie & Janet. Angus & Catherine were buried in Inverchaolain and I have a picture of their gravestone.

Hi Jean,

I've uploaded some photos onto Photobucket, so if you follow this link you should be able to have a look.

I have been to the following church yards: Crarae, Kilmalieu, Clachan Farm (behind Loch Fyne Oyster bar), the new Inveraray cemetary at the foot of Glen Shira, Cairndow, Clachan Strachur, Strathhlachlan, and Dalmally. I've taken photos of any headstones relating to Sinclairs in these.

I can see why the Grampians in Victoria are called that, they really do remind me of Scotland. I dont know where in Oz you are.

PS. I've just checked my records, and there were no Greigs or Purdies in my headstone pictures, but that doesnt mean they're not there of course. There was a 1779 roll call of the Argyll estate which you might find interesting. The Lochgilphead council archives has a copy.

I've literally just got back from a week doing research up there in Inveraray, and have several phots from the cemetaries around the area on Sinclair graves if this is of use to anyone.

I've also got some general phots of the area of Iveraray, Kilmorich, Strachur & Stralachlan, including Maam in Glen Shira
