Hi RR,
I recon your best bet would be looking at the opr,s( old parish register) for isle of skye.
you can do this on the pay site scotlandspeople.
www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk
you have the date and place of death so it should be quite straight forward,
we could also ask the fantastic moderator to move this post into the Sutherland page,
regards,Billy.

Adding to the above, I now think Alexander may have died c1833. Children: Jannet?; Margaret (have traced); Robert (my ancestor); James and Mary.
