Look carefully at the info posted for you - if you're sure they are the Southampton family

son John born 9/8/1850 in Campbeltown

Family in Southampton by time of 1851 census

Mothers maiden name shows as McLellan on Scottish births and also daughter Margaret in Southampton RD with the McLaren ones probably due to accent or poor handwriting

A marriage for Angus McArthur to a Margaret MCLELLAN January 1842 in Campbeltown

? First child recorded - if Scottish naming pattern was followed he would be named for his Paternal Grandfather. AG posted a possible birth for Angus Page 1 - with parents Donald McArthur and Catherine McAvoil

It is the right family as Angus and Margarets daughter Catherine was married to my GG Grandfather Julius Clarke 1858 and they lived in Southampton

Just to reiterate -

Don't be confused by the McArthur family in Uig, whose records safc has posted because you said Margaret's name was McKenzie. That's a red herring - ignore!

Margaret was a McLellan/McClellan, either mistranscribed or misheard as McLaren on a couple of records, as already explained.

It looks like Margaret was a McLellan, so the family tree i was given was wrong, thanks again for all your help, now trying to find the parents of Margaret and Angus, this might take me a while, still i have time now im at home most of the time,

Thanks

safc - the possible birth of Angus already posted on page 1.

As a long shot, bearing in mind the fluid nature of spelling of names at that time, this is the nearest possible (but BIG maybe!) marriage for Angus's parents:

MACARTHUR
DONALD
CATHARINE BELL/
20/11/1810
507/
50 91
Campbeltown

But there's no way of knowing if that's the correct marriage or not.
