Hello Kintyre people
I’ve traced my family back to the McGowns in Campbeltown in the mid-1800s but now I’m stuck going further back.
My connection to Campbeltown is through Daniel McGown who married Jane Connell in Dublin. Daniel was born in Campbeltown around 1848 (based on census information). His parents were Archibald McGown and Agnes (Nancy) McLeary (or McLeary) who married in Campbeltown in May 1835.
Where I’d like your help is
1. I can’t find a birth record for Daniel McGown around 1848.
2. I can’t find birth details for his parents Archibald & Agnes who were born around 1817/1818 based on census information.
3. I’d like to get back to a previous generation so finding Archibald & Agnes’s parents and their details & records would be a fantastic help.
I’ve got accounts with Ancestry, FindMyPast, My Heritage and access to ScotlandsPeople but I’ve not had any luck tracking these details down.
Any help would be much appreciated. I’d also love to find any graves from the McGowns who are buried in Kintyre as I’d love to visit the area soon.
Thanks
