Brick wall! Duncan Campbell and Nancy McNaughtan

[MonicaL]

  Agnes McKoel was the daughter of John Mckoel decesed, late tennant of Craig.
 

I am not experienced in this era and place names, so just some notes on bits of info for you to follow up on...

www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk in their Wills & Testament section have a reference to: CRAIG IN CLACHANDYSART (or ZART). These are docs from the late 1600s.

Reference here in google books to Clahandysart:

Might also have been known as Clahan Dysart?

 It gives that Duncan was the son of Donald Campbell and was of Gan'nan Beg.
Is that a place name or an abbreviation for one?

Hi wayanga,

Just to add to Monica's delights 

I think by the spelling this may be in/from gaelic although where it is, is the question 

My reasoning is the "Beg/Beag" which in gaelic means small/little..........hope this helps.

ADDED...............I forgot to add it looks to be an abbreviation.

Is it possible to post an image please & where did the marriage take place

 marriage was at Lochgoilhead
 I have had a problem with the attatchment. My image was too large at 520kb so have tried a photo of it.
 It may be difficult to read

Nearest I can come up with without seeing the document is Ganavan Bay

I can't say for sure which it is to be honest but maybe someone with more info. on the historic side will be able to confirm one or the other as I can't find anything with historic background for the area.....sorry

I've had a good look at 1841 census & nothing even similar showing 

Do you know what Duncan's occupation was as I'm wondering if it was the name of a farm rather than a place name 

Difficult one

Ammack
             The only reference to Duncan's occupation that I have is from much later on, his daughter Margaret's death certificate in 1855, when he is referred to as "farmer".
 So you might be right, it could be a farm.
  I will try checking the baptisims for his other children on scotlandspeople and see if that reveals any other place names. There were 9 children so it is a possibility.

Ammack
           The baptisims for son John 13 Nov 1762 Lochgoilhead gives Gaunan beg
Also for daughter Mary 5 Mar 1769 looks to be the same Gaunan beg.
 I may have missread the "u" as an "n"

There are references on here to Gaunan/Gaunans & also the surname which Monica referred to "Keol" but someone might be able to find it on an old map of Argyll 

A lot to read through to find them
