MacFarlane ca 1800

Postby jamacfar » Mon Jan 21, 2019 3:31 am

My ggg-grandfather Andrew MacFarlane emigrated from Kintyre (called Cantyre then apparently) to Lower Canada in about 1830. I have found a marriage record of him to Margaret Grey, daughter of john Grey and Mary Beith, on 18 Jan 1823 in Kilcalmonell and Kilberry, Argyll, Scotland. Margaret was christened 1 April 1798 in Campbeltown, Argyll, Scotland, so she is definitely from that area.

Somewhere I have come across a birth year of 1793 for Andrew, but that is the only info I have on him. I am only guessing he was from this area too, but I know he lived there from his marriage until emigration as there were 6 children born in Kilcalmonell and Kilberry during this time, 2 of which died before the emigration.

What I am ultimately looking for here is birth/christening information, parents, and siblings.

Thank you,
James
