George b1845 didn't help, since he not only moved from Islay to Ayr to Lanarkshire but also 'changed' his name to McDermid at marriage. (And to various other permutations at other times. He also changed his parents' names in the process, even though they're clearly the same people. My g.father George and at least one sibling were also registered as McDermid at birth.) I have quite a few register copies of birth/marriage/death for the above people, plus several siblings (Archibald b1869, several siblings of George b1845, etc). Be happy to pass copies on to anyone who might need them. Also glad to open up my tree to anyone who has a use for it. Suie on Mull (near Bunessan) seems a bit of a McDiarmid focal point. Think I might go there sometime and have a root around. Now for the female line :-S Thanks all.
