Peter Macnab (1812–1892)
He spent a period in "the Colonies", returning to Oban in the latter part of the 20th century.[4]
As reported in the 7 November, 1893, edition of The Edinburgh Gazette, a petition was presented to the Lord Ordinary officiating on the Bills, "at the insistence if John Macnab, residing at No. 9 Harrington Gardens, South Kensington, London, for sequestration of the estates of the deceased Peter Macnab, builder, Oban".[5] Presumed to be Peter's son, John died on 24 April, 1895, aged 69. He is buried in Brompton Cemetery, Kensington.[6]
Personal life
Macnab was married to Catherine Ferguson, with whom she had at least one child (John, born c. 1826).[5]
