Dugald Carmichael b. 1791

c.1791 Dugald Carmichael is born in Lagganbeg as is I believe his wife Christian Campbell. Lagganbeg is just West of Loch Scammdale and near the sight of a Campbell massacre known as the Barn of Bones (Sabhal nan Cnamh) in Lagganmore. They were married in Oban on the 25th of January 1814 and had the following children :

1) Archibald Carmichael b. Feb 16 1812 in Lagganbeg, Kilbride
2) Alexander Carmichael b. July 18 1814 Oban*
3) John Carmichael b. April 17 1821 Oban
4) Alexander born 1826. Oban
5) ***Dugald Carmichael b. Sept 18 1828 Oban***
6) Dugald b. 1830 in Oban

The family group was living in Oban, on High St. at the time of the 1841 census of Scotland. Dugald Sr. , Archibald and John all listed as Labourer for Occupation. *Alexander b.1814 not shown in the census. All others accounted for.

If anyone is able to take & email me some digital pictures of High St in Oban that would be excellent. Wonder if this Christian Campbell is a descendant of a survivor of the Masacre at Lagganmore c.1650 I believe.
