I suspect that Paul Macgilleandrais and Paul McTire are the same person.
One descent chart shows Paul MacTire's father as Tire another as Leod Macgilleandrais.
Source 1: "Tire" or Tyre, stands here
and elsewhere for "An t'Oighre," or the Heir, and Paul "Mac Tire"
for Pol " Mac-an-Oighre," or Son of the Heir.
Source 2: Cinél Andrais The clan of Gilleandrais -the servant of St. Andrew, ecclesiastics of Applecross founded on the west coast of Scotland in 671 by St. Mael Rubha of Bangor.
The family septs of ÓBeollain [Boland], Anderson, Cairney, Fairlie, Forbes, Foulis, Gillanders, Munro, Reid, Ross, MacTaggart and Urquhart.
O"Beolean was the name of the early Earls of Ross which passed on the death of the last Earl to a Paul MacTire a kinsman as shown in a descent chart in [ History Of The Mackenzies by Alexander Mackenzie, NEW, REVISED, AND EXTENDED EDITION pub 1894 ]
Only stumbling block to the assumption they are the same person is that another source says he was a grandson of Olaf the Red. According to the Mackenzie descent chart not in his paternal line he wasn't.
Anyone any suggestions as to his Olaf connection?
