Great find Monica,

Thought about FreeCEN late last night and checked this morning and found Murdo McIver & family living in Breasclet

Hi Jimmac

Here's the link so you can view Murdo McIver & Neil McArthur & family in Breasclet
on 1841 census

http://freecen.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl

This is a small snippet of info. from the link Monica posted - have a read

Finlay McIver married 06/04/1855 Uig
Ann McArthur parents Neil McArthur married Mary SMITH 9/03/1836 Uig

Here's the link to IGI familysearch so you can view the marriage details and the christenings of some children born to Finlay McIver & Ann, these are all extracted records

http://www.familysearch.org/eng/default.asp

Hope this proves to be helpful and is the family you are looking for - let us know 

Just a thought if you are looking for details when the MCIVER's emigrated to Australia it may be worth you putting a request on the Australia board I'm sure someone will be able to offer help

Cheers,
Jim.
