To add to the confusion, John McLeod was registered on 05/02/1817 and Dond McLeod was registered on 31/05/1819 to Alexr. McLeod and Isobel McDonald.  Christin McLeod was registered on 13/12/1821 to Alexr. McLeod and Isobel McPhilip and all the births are recorded on Alexr. Mcleod's death certificate in 1855 with spouse identified as Isobel McDonald.  Ann vafs should be Ann Vass.

What are the names and ages of the children as listed on Alexander McLeod's death certificate?

Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
