Hello, Shona,
I, too, have been having trouble finding a copy of the 1792 census and as i live even further south than you its hard getting information. could you perhaps do a lookup for me, please in the Killean section?
My Great (x3) Grand father was Edward McCallum who, I believe, came from Killean Parish, perhaps the Moniemore area. According to my late father's notes he married a Janet McMurchy from Sunadale and they had 4 children - Donald, Duncan, Janet and Neil, although i cannot find any proof or dates. Donald was born around 1806, I believe in the Moniemore area. There is a stone in Killean churchyard (which i have a photograph of) that records the burial of Donald's mother Janet, brother Duncan, himself and his wife Christina, but nothing about Edward.
Can you find any record of an Edward McCallum in the 1792 census that might fit the bill?
Grateful for any help.
regards
