Hi
Whilst talking about family history with my mother, and having a surf for some old family names I saw your posting.
I am the eighth generation from William Candlish (we have a birth date circa 1733, but there is a big question mark there!). My descent is through William, son of James, born in 1805.
You do seem to have much of the information that we have, but according to a note given to my mother by her father's cousin, the family dropped the "Mc" in 1817 and became "Candlish".
I would be happy to find out more and to pool our resources if you know more.
Best Regards
Antony
