Isle of Raasay- 1841, 1851, 1861

[gollygee]

Does anyone have the full census returns for the Isle of Raasay (would probably come under Portree parish) for 1841, 51 & 61?

I'm looking for MacLean families, specifically their locations at the time of the censuses, mostly Screapadal, Fearns, Hallaig and Balachuirn. I've got the partial for 1851 but that begs more questions than it answers.

I know I'm asking a lot but hopefully there weren't a lot of MacLeans on Raasay at that time.

Hi Alastair,

I'm looking for any info on John MacLean, born c.1806 probably in Screapadal, Raasay. He married a Catherine and in the 1851 census they are in Fearns and have six children.

I am trying to find John's parents and, if possible, Catherines. It is possible that John's mother was a Macleod.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Rebecca,

I'd be grateful for any info you may have on my branch of the Raasay MacLeans. I've got back to John MacLean (my GGGrandfather), born circa 1806, but have hit a brick wall when trying to find his parents.

He married a Catherine ? and they had Malcolm (1837), Norman (1839), Isabella (1841), John (1844), Chirsty (1847) and Jessie (1850).

Many thanks for getting in touch. We are hoping to get back to Raasay next summer. It's been too long since we were last there.

Regards,

Geoff Goldsmith
