Think what threw us is that you firstly put Mary Campbell and then listed her as Elizabeth.

The modern spelling is Galtrigill - for pics, see:

I have no connection to the McSwan's Helen - in fact none of the people who help out on here have any connection to the person they are helping - could happen once in a blue moon I suppose!!

Extracted marriage record for locality listed in the record. The source records are usually arranged chronologically by the marriage date.

Am looking for ancestor Mary Campbell who was born in 1831 in Galtrigal on Isle of Skye. Father Niel Campbell & mother Flore MacAskill
Elizabeth had brothers John? Roderick & Angus. It appears her mother died after 1838 & before 1841 because Niel remarries in that time to Mary McDonald
All of Niel's family migrated out to Australia in 1854 except Elizabeth
Elizabeth had married john McSwan in Ramasaig on 21.2.1854
they refused to leave Scotland & stayed behind.......looking to see what happened to them
