FamilySearch has the baptism for Angus listed as Angus Mckisaac, 16 Jul 1844, Killean and Kilchenzie, Argyll, parents John Mckisaac and Mary Mckinlay. It will come up on Scotland's People if you select Surname Variants for McIsaac, or if you key the surname as Mckisaac.

Brilliant - thank you so much. How did I miss that?
I've done the search on SP and there is one match [scrabbles for credit card to buy more credits]. Killean is Mary's home parish. Some records do have this as Angus's place of birth, others Campbeltown. The evidence is pointing to the 1841 census record for John, Mary and Duncan being the correct family - in spite of the age problem. I also estimate that John McIsaac died between 1843 (Angus conceived) and 1851 (Mary recorded as a widow). I still can't recall the source of the information that John died in a fever hospital. The written note was done a good few years ago. If true, it is more likely to be in the Glasgow area than the rural west coast.

It's possible that Angus's baptism record will state that John is deceased, which would help narrow down his date of death.

The OPR reads:
'Angus, lawful son to John McKisaac and Mary McKinlay was baptised 16th July.' Other entries state the date and place of birth as well as the baptism date. Therefore, he probably was born in Campbeltown as stated on some records, but baptised in Killean. I've checked through the print-outs I have for other birth and baptism records for this parish and I've not seen deceased written in relation to any parent.

Oh well, it was worth looking just in case.
