Buchanan family help

[fletch001]

Good morning All,
Hope someone will be able to help with a few of my Buchanan missing data. There are a few but i will start one at a time, many thanks for any help you may be able to give, or point me in the right direction.

Firstly, I have Sarah Buchanan supposedly born 1758 in Appin and Lismore, Argyll but was baptised 13 March 1768 Lismore, Argyll, mother and father was Anne Buchanan and Hugh Buchanan.

I cannot find any evidence that Sarah was born in 1758 and secondly she married Duncan Kennedy around 1780 but cannot find any marriage documentation.

That is the first part of my quest so hopefully someone may be able to help, thank you all for all your time in this matter
Regards
Mike

Hi All,
Trish & Col,
You have the correct Sarah Buchanan, unfortunately I had some information from other FT's stating her birth was 1758, that is most likely incorrect.
I have Jean Kennedy and Ann Kennedy as Duncan & Sarah's children.
The main problem is that I cannot find a marriage for Duncan & Sarah. Once this is solved, I can move on to the next problem.
Many thanks
Mike

Records on SP, if they did marry there.

Lismore
Births 1758-1819, marriages 1777-1801, no deaths

Asppin
Births 1751 – 1819, marriages 1767-1819, no deaths

Then Lismore & Asppin births 1819-1854, marriages 1821-1854, no deaths 

Statutory Registration from 1855

Hi Colin,
That is the big problem, i have tried Ancestry, SP, FindMyPast and FS with no luck, they have some of their childrens births but not the marriage of Duncan & Sarah. Not a clue if they were married at all or documents may be lost?

All,
Next problem is Sarah Buchanans father, Hugh Buchanan, he has a possible DoB of around 1736 from other FT's, but the only Hugh Buchanan I have was baptised Feb 1771 to John Buchanan and Mary McPhale.
Does not look right to me when Sarah's baptism is correct at 1768.
Any help greatly appriciated
Mike

You will only find the original records on Scotland's People.
