The 1841 census is more difficult to identify people on. This is a possible for Roderick

Tollie, Fodderty

Alexander McKenny, 70 +, farmer,
Jannet, 65-69, ag lab
Anne, 25-29
Roderick McRae, 15-19, Male Servant
James McKenzie, 12,  Male Servant
William McKenzie, 12,  Male Servant

Nearest that I can find for Janet:

Baptism 16 August 1829, Lochbroom - Janet McLennin. Father John McLennan (IGI)

[Gadget]

I've finally found them in Dingwall on the 1901 - very badly interpreted as MacHal 

14 Mill Street, Dingwall

Roderick MacRae, 79, b. Fodderty
Jessie, 70, b. Lochbroom

So - to find Roderick's death - maybe it was after Jessie after all 

[Gadget]

Still having problems locating Roderick's death - could he have moved to Banff or somewhere else after Jessie died. I've not yet tried Inverness which is a possibility.

In 1841, Janet is already working in Leckmelm, Lochbroom (this is a few miles east of Ullapool, overlooking Loch Broom).

The household marks on the census page are confusing, She is either living alone or in the household of Roderick McDonald, a crofter, age 75, and his family:

Janet McLennan, 10, Female Servant, born County

these childrens parents were JOHN McRAE and Jane Sime(s)
Johns dad was Roderick and mother was Janet McLENNAN

Without any birth or death record for Roderick it is difficult to draw any conclusions.

John (possibly Jessie's father) and Alexander seems to crop up consistently.
