Nancy would have been Ann.  They were used for each other back then. I know you looked at the census.  Catherine's age is consistent through to 1851 which suggests that she is the same person.  How old was she in 1861?

Hello Lois,

Many parish records are available at local archives on microfilm.  Ann was bapt on 24 Oct 1837, John on 12 Oct 1839, Eoin 28 Dec 1840, and Mary on 12 Sep 1844. There is a large age gap there.  He could have married another Catherine. I would explore that if I were you.  Yes, the records should be available on Scotland's People.

Hi Lois, did I already give you the bapt records from the Barra Parish Register?  The baptisms for Ann, Mary and John are Jonathan are there.

Hi again,

I have located your family on the census of 1851 and I have the baptismal records for them to the early 1850s.  I only have the church records in hard copy to about 1853.  Do you already have this information?  I don't see a marriage record for them.

Hello Lois,

If your MacKinnons were from Barra then you likely would be connected to the families in the MacKinnon's Harbour area.  I descend from MacKinnons from Barra.  Most of the people in the Iona / Christmas Island area are descendants of Barra families.

I'd like to sort out what you know for sure.  What are the names of the family members who were born in Ontario after they came and where did the family settle?

So your MacLeans stayed in Barra?  I'll see if I can find something on them.
