Hi D MacKechnie,

Welcome to TalkingScot.

How about this one as a high probability for your G-Grandfather, Peter MacKechnie. Be imaginative with the spelling.

PETER McEACHERN, born 05 Oct 1872, Kilmore & Kilbride
to DONALD McEACHERN and MARY McKILLOP

with siblings with the following spelling variations.

JANET McEACHERN born 02 Jan 1862
ARCHIBALD McEACHNIE born 22 Jan 1866
FLORA McEACHNIE born 26 Jul 1869
all Kilmore & Kilbride

from the marriage of
DONALD McEACHERN and MARY McKILLOP
26 Jul 1860 Kilmore & Kilbride

One possibility for your G-G-Grandfather's birth in Kilfinichen & Kilvickeon is
DONALD McEACHERN born 29 Jul 1821
to DUGALD McEACHERN and MARY McEACHERN

Hopefully the 1860 marriage certificate will give you information about his parents to show if this is the correct birth for Donald.

All the best,

Andrew Paterson
