deserted settlements of glassary parish

[DW Currie]

Hello Ila,

I am researching the same Curry(ie) line.  I descend from Donald (b.1799 Uillian) to John and Mary McAlpine.  I had always assumed that since Neil Curry did not go to Canada that he had died young.  I am very interested to correspond with you if possible.

I've traced back to 18th century McLachlan's of Shirvan (farm), Kilmichael.  Furthest I get is John McLachlan who married MacKechren and their son John who married Leitch.

Would love to get further back

Hi Genny (if you're still about).

Would love to hear whether there's anything in there about the Shirvan (aka Castleton) estate once owned by the Graham-Campbells. My ancestors (Carrick's) once worked on their estate, prob as farm servants or ag labs. I understand the estate moved location in the area, starting out further in-land, before ending up on the top edge of Lochgilp.

Regards
Ann

Shirvan was McLachlan land from 13th century. I've traced my line to McLachlan living there in 18th and 19th centuries

Hello

Any mention of a settlement, called Knock, which sits just above Lochgair, and is near Loch Glashan.

Cheers

My third great grandmother, Sarah McCallum is mentioned in this book. She died in Glassary in 1872. I’m trying to get access to a copy so I can see it first hand.
