Title: Murdo Mckinnon married to Mary Mcsween possibly Duirinish, Invernessshire
Post by: ashtom on Sunday 30 January 11 14:24 GMT (UK)

I am trying to trace any details of Murdo Mckinnon and Mary Mcsween, possibly Duirinish, Invernessshire.  Known children are Roderick 1819 - 1856, Dugald 1827 - 1864, Peter 1828 - 1865 and John born 1834.  I am looking for any details on birth, death, siblings, parents for Murdo and Mary who I think both died before 1864.  These are my 4th Great Grandparents. I will be grateful for any help!

I think you may be looking for Murdoch McKinnon born 1836 sorry I have no death date. If its the same his parents were
John McKinnon 1786-1857
Mary Robertson 1789-????
He would have several siblings one of which is my 3rd ggfather
Roderick McKinnon 1819-1906. They were from Sleat on the Isle of Skye. They may have moved to Harris at some stage.

For the avoidance of possible confusion, here is another place called Duirinish in Lochalsh, Ross and Cromarty https://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/NG7831
