OK, looking at the 1861 census posted above, here's the birth of the daughter Margaret:

MCARTHUR, MARGARET mms MCCLELLAN
GRO Reference: 1858 S Quarter in SOUTHAMPTON Volume 02C Page 10


If that's the case, then McLaren as mms for the other children's births could be a mis-reading of the handwriting for McClellan or similar name.

Therefore this could be the parents' marriage:

MCARTHUR
ANGUS
MARGARET MCLELLAN/
25/01/1842
507/
60 379
Campbeltown

Re the marriage posted by safc -
if they both belonged to Campbeltown, it seems unlikely that they would have married on the Isles of Skye.

Where did you find the info that they were from Campbeltown?

Welcome to the boards, Neil.

This is the only birth of an Angus McArthur/MacArthur in Campbeltown (note spelling) around 1819:

MACARTHUR
ANGUS
Parents: DONALD MACARTHUR/CATHARINE MACILVOIL
M
30/03/1815
507/
40 427
Campbeltown


and this is the nearest Margaret McKenzie birth to 1820:

MACKENZIE
MARGARET
JOHN MACKENZIE/JEAN MILLOY
F
28/07/1818
507/
40 478
Campbeltown

Of course I have no idea if either of them is who you're looking for.


I don't see a marriage in Campbeltown for a couple of those names. Have you found their marriage?
