Originally the family name appaers to have been McGILVRA as shown on Colin and Mary's marriage and the four children's birth transcripts. In the 1841 census I was able to find a family with four children of the right names and ages living on Saorphin Farm in Kilfinichen-Kilvickeon,Parish, although the head of the family is listed as 'Archd' rather than Colin (was this Colin's brother?)
