Isaac Mcleod and Beaton?

[gazza855]

Thanks Monica.  Useful to know. 

I am going to presume that Isaac was an orphan and that there was no relationship to Mary Lap, as I think I did some digging with that link a while ago and drew a blank!  Will focus on Beaton and others

Searched all of New Family Search with no luck at all - sorry - c

"You will I think need to double check death cert details. The 1841 census will not really help you:
Mary Lap 40 b. Foreign Parts
Isaac Mcleod 15 saddler
Address: King Stret, Inverness
Monica"

The 1851 census gives Isaac as a journeyman saddler, with wife Isabella and child Mary Ann.
The 1861 census gives Isaac as a saddler, with wife Isabella, children Mary Ann, Jane and Alfred and mother as Mary, born in Lisbon, Portugal.
Address for both, 13 Huntly Street, Inverness.

Malky,
          Sorry for being a bit thick - so the census states that Isaac's mother was Mary (Lap) from Lisbon, Portugal?

Also I knew nothing of Alfred or Mary which is now good

Superstar, Malky  Well done for following through from my messy start!

Found an Isabelle Beaton and Issac McLeod - Children Mary MacLeod 1849; William Mcleod 1852 and 15 July 1852 Inverness,Inverness, christening; and Jane Mcleod 1854;

Alfred Mcleod 4 June 1858 (same parents);

Then I've found an Isabelle Beaton married to Donald Mccuiaig or McLeod - born 1801 - Bowmore, Argyll, Scot.  Immigrated to Banks, Collingwood, Grey, Ontario, Canada  She died 1900.

This Isabelle has parents - Gilbert Beaton and Mary Robertson - married 15 March 1797 Killarrow, Argyll, Scotland (no other information)  Children: Isabelle; Jannet 4 March 1803; Mary 24 September 1805; and Ann christened 9 March 1812.

Thanks for that - didn't know about William either.  Looks like the other Beaton/McLeod couple you found are no relation though - but thanks for the check.

Think options are to stop with Mary Lap (as doubt I can get info on her - if she was definately Isaacs mother), and progress Isabella Beaton's parents.

The '51 census does not mention the mother, the '61 census has her as Mary "Mcleod". But by deduction, this would more than probably be as the '41 census states, Mary "Lap", born "foreign parts". The '61 census has her as 61 years old, which would tie in with her being 40 in the '41 census.
There is an additional son "Grigor" born in 1866, Inverness.
Isabella is missing in the 1881 census, but there is a death of an Isabella McLeod, nee Beaton, Inverness 1880. The age shown is confusing. It has her born c 1836 which would match her age of 35 in the '71 census, but in the '51 and '61 census, both Isaac and Isabella are listed as born in Inverness, c 1825 and c 1831 respectively.
The other data would match up.
Confused yet??

Confused - yes, yes, yes, but grateful as well.

So Mary Lap ("Mcleod) is listed as his mother (whether by birth or 'adoption') on some censuses and it's interesting to know of Grigor - that's new...  that would be a son to Isaac and Isabella as well then...?

I also found Isabella had died in 1880, 9 years before Isaac.  Strange though that if Mary was listed as his mother, why someone has written 'not known' for his parents?

When I next get some credits for SP, I'll need to check that cert out.  I won't put too much stock in the census/birth dates for now.
