Thread: McFarlane in Appin Argyllshire

Hi
From Scotlandsplaces.gov on Google:

Parish Lismore and Appin

Description
A parish in Argyll until 1975. It was sometimes known as Kilmaluag parish. The island and parish of Appin was annexed into the island and parish of Lismore in 1661. A medieval parish and a parish for both civil and religious purposes from the sixteenth century until 1975. The boundaries of the civil parish were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.

Does this answer the question?

Have you looked on Scotlands People? There are 9 Duncan McFarlane's born in Lismore parish between 1768 and 1772. None actually in 1770.

There are others but none fit as well.
What occupation did he have when he was in Glasgow?
It looks as if he was twice married perhaps?
There are these baptisms in Hilipoll Argyll.

And there is a John Mac Farlane , a shepherd,born Kilfinnan Argyll aged 74 with wife mary in Argyll in 1851(possible brother of the Duncan born in same place as seen in 1841 census above.
