The old name for Urrard House was Renrory, and Haugh of Urrard was the Haugh of Renrory. The Blair Atholl OPR marriages record that Donald McLachlan in Haugh of Renrory (Moulin parish) and Elspeth Campbell in Wester Balrobie (Blair Atholl parish) were proclaimed for marriage, 2nd May 1797.
Elspeth Campbell was the daughter of Donald Campbell and Margaret Setton, or Seaton. Don(ald) Campbell in Ceannaghlinne (Moulin parish) and Margaret Seaton in Wester Balrobie, married 29 Jan 1771. Elspeth's baptism is in the Moulin OPR, 11th May 1774, as are the baptisms of her brothers Duncan (18th June 1771) and Donald (11th September 1777). Her sister Margaret's baptism is in the Blair Atholl OPR (30th January 1780) when the family were at Cnoc of Strathgarry, south of the river Garry (Moulin parish). The last three children were born at Wester Balrobie: Isabel, 2nd March 1782; John, 18th June 1784; and Alexander, 2nd April 1788.
18th March 1798 (Moulin OPR)
Thomas, born to Donald McLachlan and Elspeth Campbell his spouse, in Aldgirnaig, baptised the 20th current.
(Aldgirnaig is the old name of the village which is now called Killiecrankie)
29th October 1799 (Dull OPR)
Donald, son to Donald MacLachlane and Elspeth Campbell (in) Druimdagour, was baptised.
31st March 1802 (Dull OPR)
Margaret, daughter to Donald MacLachlane and Elspeth Campbell in Druimdagour, was baptised.
25th May 1803 (Dull OPR)
Neil, son to Donald MacLachlane and Elspeth Campbell in Druimdagour, was baptised.
27th March 1806 (Dull OPR)
Duncan, son to Donald MacLauchlane and Elspeth Campbell in Druimdagour, was baptised.
4th June 1808 (Dull OPR)
John, son to Donald MacLauchlane and Elizabeth Campbell in Druimdagour, was baptised.
4th December 1810 (Dull OPR)
(blank), daughter to Donald MacLauchlane and Elizabeth Campbell in Druimdagour, was baptised.
(No name was given, but this was Elizabeth)
18th February 1813 (Dull OPR)
James, son to Donald MacLauchlane and Elizabeth Campbell in Druimdagour, was baptised.
12th April 1817 (Dull OPR)
Helen, daughter to Donald MacLauchlane and Helen Campbell in Druimdagour, was baptised.
(The mother's name is an error by the Registrar.)
Druimdagour is most likely to be the present day Drumnagowan which is on the boundary between Dull parish and Blair Atholl parish, at the top of Glen Fincastle.
The descendants of both Thomas McLachlan and John McLachlan, separately affirm that Donald MacLauchlane and his family emigrated to Canada in 1834, but it is unclear whether his wife was still alive. The exception was said to be their daughter Margaret who had married, and stayed behind, but her marriage date and husband's name are not known. Donald MacLauchlane, their father, is thought to have died by 1851 as he does no seem to appear in the Canadian census of that year.

Thomas MacLauchlane and Margaret Stewart in Ainleyville (Brussels), Ontario
The Dull parish OPR records that Thomas MacLauchlane and Margaret Stewart gave up their names to be proclaimed in order to marriage, 27th December 1828, but just says that both were living in the parish. Margaret Stewart's memorial stone in Brussels, Ontario, states that she was about 67 years old when she died in 1871.
29th December 1829 (Dull OPR)
Donald, son to Thomas MacLachlane and Margaret Stewart in Druimdagour, was baptised.
1st April 1831 (Dull OPR)
Margaret, daughter to Thomas MacLachlane and Margaret Stewart in Druimdagour, was baptised.
Thomas's family farmed Lot 14, Concession3, which was 200 acres. By 1851 eighty acres had been cleared and the rest was either wooded or wild contryside. Forty acres had been sown with wheat and barley, while the rest was pasture.
Thomas must have died between 1847 and 1851 as his wife is given as the land-owner, and widow, in the 1851 census and the youngest child was born in 1848. By 1861 the family had moved to Ainleyville, which was later re-named as Brussels, Ontario.

Duncan MacLauchlane in Glen Fincastle, Perthshire
It is uncertain where Duncan was living at the time of the birth of his daughter Helen. He may have been living at Druimdagour (Drumnagowan) with his father, or he may have been living at Little Milton of Fincastle where, presumably, Catherine's parents were living.
20th December 1832 (Dull OPR)
Helen, natural daughter to Donald and Catherine MacLauchlanes in Little Milton, was baptised.
It has been suggested that they were first cousins, and this is quite possible as there are only a few MacLauchlane (various spellings) families living in this area. Catherine was the daughter of John MacLauchlane and Helen Howan (the OPR entry looks more like 'Hewan') in Chapelton and baptised 4th November 1806. Chapelton of Fincastle is just west of Little Milton, and a bit to the east of Drumnagowan. Her parents were married 9th July 1803 and the Dull OPR shows that her mother's name was Helen MacEwan, rather than Howan or Hewan. Donald and Catherine were married shortly before their emigration to Canada.
7th December 1833 (Dull OPR)
Duncan and Catherine MacLauchlanes, both in this parish, gave their names to be proclaimed in order to marriage.
