Brick wall! Duncan Campbell and Nancy McNaughtan

Hi Both

Found this link http://las.denisrixson.com/2014/07/kilmorich-and-lochgoilhead/

It makes references to both Craig and Gaunanbeg. Right period really for both and also references to which maps sources to check. The maps may be available to view on the NLS site...

Got to pop out for a little while...

I think Gaunanbeg might show here http://maps.nls.uk/view/74400198 to the top of Loch Goyle/Goil (a few spellings for it) and then right, close to the shore of Loch Long.

Craigs is to the left of this, on the shores near the top of Loch Goyle.

Main map for area with joins http://maps.nls.uk/joins/581.html  Been looking at top right map of the four.

Monica,
            Brilliant! You are a gem.
  Craig / Krieg would seem to be near the top of Loch Goyle and very close to Lochgoilhead.
 Gaunanbeg , from the map would be on the Western side of Loch Goyle not far from Carrick Castle. I see a stream/burn named Gaunan  on the map.
   The link to six mile survey map seems to place Gaunanbeg on the Eastern side of Loch Goyle ??
  Yes the family name changes and the locality names dissappearing or being renamed or spelt differently certainly make it difficult tracing a family once one gets back earlier than 1800.
   Many thanks to you both for your persistance in finding these places.
   Just as an aside, the first child Donald Campbell 10th Mar 1759 was from Cricean .
   I see that this is also marked on the map near Gaunanbeg.

Monica
            Your link to Familysearch has provided 9 children for Duncan Campbell and Agnes / Anne Mckoel.
    If the Mckoel name did pass out of useage in late 1770 then it would seem to be reasonable to assume that those family members may have adopted the clan name McNaughtan or variations of it in subsequent years.
   The death certificates that we are looking at are 80 years later so most likely reflect that change.
 We have a James Campbell with Parents Duncan Campbell and Nancy Naughtan that we believe must be of the same family but he is not included in the familysearch Christenings, but there are no children recorded from 1771 to 1775. From his death certificate he would have been born 1773 .
    Again it would be reasonable to assume that for some reason his christening may have been missed in the transcriptions . This would make 10 children in the family and solve our dilemma in making our records  " fit ".
   Thank you very much Monica for your assistance.
