I believe Dr. Patrick Brodie Henderson Mcleod M.D., C.M. (born about 1841/43 in Strathy, Sutherland) is my ancestor via his father William Mcleod (born 1813 in Reay, Caithnes) who was my Great Great Great Uncle. I believe he first became a Police Constable then entered medical school and settled in New Deer, Aberdeenshire. His sister, Catherine Mcleod, lived with him. I would appreciate any information about him and/or Catherine, if there is an Obituary somewhere and so on. Thank you. Denise Taylor (nee Macleod)

Hello
With a unique name like that - he couldn't fail but to be in Google books somewhere. If you go to the link
http://books.google.co.uk/books?q=Dr.+Patrick+Brodie+Henderson+Mcleod&btnG=Search+Books
It advises he was born in 1840 in Strathy and dies aged 74 in Aberdeen , therefore dies in 1914 -=/- 1 yr. You should have no problems getting his dc from the ppv site www.scotlandspeople..gov.uk
Just looked using a free SP search. Scotlandwide 1900 to 1930 no deaths of a Patrick Brodie McLeod, however, change the surname to MacLeod and there is 1 and he dies in 1914, in Aberdeen City. His death entry hopefully will give both parents name and mothers maiden name - assuming the informant knew it.
Regards, Steve :)

And from www.familysearch.org.uk
An 'extracted entry of a birth to PBH Mcleod to William Mcleod and Jane Mckay. This birth entry will be available for download from Scotlands People (SP) - cost £1.20 or 6 credits. Min £6.00 spend THis will be an image - not a transcription. Has him born in Farr, Sutherland on 31 Dec 1840.
Away to look for siblings.
2 siblings look likely from from the IGI
Kitty Macleod b. 09 Nov 1838, Farr, Sutherland and Frances McLeod 1846, Farr, Sutherland.
However - am finding this family difficult on Freecen. Can only find a Kitty on the 1841, with a 30 yr old William, 20 years old margaret,, 1 yr Alexr and 3 yr old Kitty address, in 'Geary', Duirnish, Invernessshire. Is this the same family? (relationships not given in the '41 census).
Regards, Steve

Thank you Steve, this is very helpful. I have found William with his wife, Jane, daughter Kitty (Catherine) and Patrick on the 1841 Scotland Census via Ancestry. Frances appears on the 1851 Census (Ancestry). I think therefore that the Freecen family you mention are not applicable. Many thanks - I will certain explore Google..

Hello,
My great-grandmother was "Annie Brodie Henderson Gunn" and I am trying to find out where the "Brodie Henderson" came from.
She was born in Latheron, Caithness on 8th Jan 1867 and was the daughter of William Gunn (1825-1906) and Margaret Simpson (1827-1920). William's mother had a half-sister, called Christina Sutherland (1798-1872) who married John McLeod (1798-1869) in Latheron on 5 May 1822. I am wondering whether Dr Patrick Brodie Henderson Gunn is a relation of John McLeod or, if not, is there any other connection between William Henderson or Patrick Henderson and my branch of the tree.
Hoping someone might be able to help.
