Hi Merideth,
Since you have extensive Cowan research maybe you can help me.
My grandfather Alexander (Alistar) Cowan was born in Oban abt 1886. His mother was Kate McDonald and his father was Alexander Cowan who died about 1891. There was also a brother who died as a baby. I haven't been able to find any more information. Any information you might have would be greatly appreciated.

Lorraine

Hi, I just found this thread.  My sister-in-law sent me a picture of Hugh McCowan, Provost of Oban and we are trying to determine his relationship to J. Alexander McCowan who married Florence McCorquodale in Argyllshire in 1771.  Their son Hugh and daughter Ann migrated to Ontario, Canada in the 1820s and 30s.  If any of this shows up in your trees, I would appreciate any information you have.

Thank you,
Larry
