    I have death information for Lachlan McTaggart who died at Ballachuilish in 1926, the son of Alexander McTaggart a shoemaker, and Margaret Fletcher. I'm hoping that my search for McTaggarts will help me in the quest to find a connection back to the McDonald family. Lachlan was I believe, born in about 1840, and married Mary McDonald, the daughter of John McDonald and Mary (m.s.) McDonald. The marriage took place in 1864. Their son Alexander married Mary Isabella McDonald, and for a short time this couple and some of their family lived in Australia, one son serving in WW1, enlisting in Australia. Does this sound at all familiar? The McTaggarts came to the Kerang area in Victoria, where they were associated with McDonalds who were also there. The story in the McDonalds is that the McTaggarts were related. I'm hoping to find the McTaggart-McDonald connection, and to learn more of the families back in the Ballachuilish area.
