Title: Macleod - Skye
Post by: MacFc on Thursday 10 December 09 14:33 GMT (UK)
I am searching for information on the following family and I hope someone maybe linked.

Neil Macleod ( Son of I believe William Macleod and Mary Morrison) Born c 1796 Portree Isles of Skye married Isabella McRae Born c 1800 Had 8 Children
John c1821, Alexander c 1823, Frances c1826, Malcolm c 1829, Janet C 1830, Malcolm c 1832, Mary c1835 and John c 1837 all born on Skye I believe. Alexander Married Ann Ross c 1853 and would have been I think my GG Grandfather. Any connections to the family or any one who knows any more would be met with great thanks. I know very little about this side of my family as I was very young when my only connections died.

Hi Calum

There are some submitted entries for marriages for children of Neil and Isabella on IGI www.familysearch.org

Christina - married MURDOCH MAC LEOD on 10 JAN 1856 in Strath, Inverness
Husband Age at Marriage: 31

Mary - married NORMAND MAC LEOD on 21 NOV 1861 in Strath, Inverness
Husband Age at Marriage: 31/ Wife Age at Marriage: 25

John - married ELIZA MC DONALD on 21 MAR 1865 in Strath, Inverness
Husband Age at Marriage: 28/ Wife Age at Marriage: 25

Likely this information came from the statutory marriage registers which you should be able to verify on Scotlands People.

Hello,

Norma MacLeod of skye-roots (www.skye-roots.co.uk) has researched and is continuing to research this family.

Our family has descended from Neil and Isabella's daughter Mary who married Norman MacLeod.

I encourage you to contact Norma to enlist her help.  She is an excellent and meticulous researcher:
(*)

Norma is now in the process of researching the female MacLeod lines in our family, which would include Mary, daughter of Isabella MacRae and Norman MacLeod.

Hello Calum,

By any chance did the marriage of William McLeod and Mary Morrison produce a son Norman ?

Regards

Gordon

Hi Chuck,

The only info I have is of children born from 1821 as you see on this forum. I haven't found the marriage date of Niel McLeod and Isabella McRae.
