Buy Archibald's death registration from Scotlandspeople to confirm the names of his parents.

Lots of possibilities for a marriage for Margaret, from 1824 to 1854 (although a couple look like duplicate entries):

18/02/1832 MACTAVISH MARGARET ARCHIBALD MACTAVISH/ F GLASSARY /ARGYLL 511/00 0030 0337

22/07/1835 MACTAVISH MARGARET JOHN MACPHERSON/FR449 (FR449) F KILMARTIN /ARGYLL 521/00 0020 0249

27/06/1846 MACTAVISH MARGARET ARCHIBALD DEWAR/ F GLASSARY /ARGYLL 511/00 0030 0358

10/01/1848 MACTAVISH MARGARET EDWARD MACLULLICH/ F GLASSARY /ARGYLL 511/00 0030 0361

10/05/1824 MCTAVISH MARGARET JOHN CURRIE/ F GLASSARY /ARGYLL 511/00 0030 0309

26/01/1828 MCTAVISH MARGARET JOHN MCVICAR/ F GLASSARY /ARGYLL 511/00 0030 0321

26/01/1828 MCTAVISH MARGARET JOHN MCVICAR/FR439 (FR439) F KILMARTIN /ARGYLL 521/00 0020 0229

19/01/1839 MCTAVISH MARGARET JOHN CAMPBELL/FR455 (FR455) F KILMARTIN /ARGYLL 521/00 0020 0261

18/01/1845 MCTAVISH MARGARET JAMES CAMPBELL/ F GLASSARY /ARGYLL 511/00 0030 0356

Searching 1790 - 1830, in Argyll, there's one definite birth of a child, and one record not giving mms:

03/11/1808 MCTAVISH MARGARET JOHN MCTAVISH/CATHERINE KERR FR272 (FR272) F GLASSARY /ARGYLL 511/00 0020 0024

01/01/1828 MCTAVISH MARY JOHN MCTAVISH/CATHERINE F GLASSARY /ARGYLL 511/00 0030 0055

If you buy credits on ScotlandsPeople you can view/save/print the images - but as these are Old Parish Records, the info is usually pretty skimpy.

Neil started another thread today, saying,

"looking for information on John McTavish who married Catherine Kerr circa 1783,possibly Argyll, Scotland,father of isabella McTavish"

As I think this is about the same family, I've copied it above to avoid duplication of research.


There are these two marriages, from a search for a marriage between a John McTavish (or variant) to a Kerr, 1760 - 1800

20/07/1777 MACTAVISH JOHN MARY KERR/FR351 (FR351) M GLASSARY /ARGYLL 511/00 0020 0168

20/06/1790 MCTAVISH JOHN CATHARINE KERR/FR363 (FR363) M GLASSARY /ARGYLL 511/00 0020 0180


[If Neil says this is a different family, I'll transfer the info to his new thread.]

many thanks for such a comprehensive list.
