Angus McLeod 21st Royal Scottish Fusiliers

[whiteout7]

There seems to be a Neville Kitchener from Hobart that has researched Angus McLeod he posted some information back in 2003.

I do think that Angus McLeod's birth in St Vincent, West Indies would need to be found (or you couldn't rule out Ireland as a possibility). I haven't been able to track it down for you.

Yes Ancestry user trees can be wrong, so you need to always get other evidence from census/ship passengers list/birth certificates/old books

Martha Barbara McLeod marrying William Harrison

11 Dec 1861 at St George, Tasmania, Australia - she was possibly born in 1835 (So in Tasmania).

Louisa McLeod married Reverend George Eastman 28 May 1845, Launceston, Tasmania, Australia. Possibly born 1826 (before parents came to Australia, so on the boat with them, 7 years old?)

So trove au confirms both these women as daughters of Angus McLeod.

Neville Kitchener again:

Louisa McLeod born 30 Aug 1825 in St Vincent, West Indies

So a full passenger list for the Lord Lyncdoch 1833 would be interesting, you should have Angus, Susan and Lousia on board (Louisa might not be named though?)

Hi Whiteout!
Thank you for your dedication!!
I am aware of the family, once they arrived in Australia. I do believe that Louisa came out with her parents, possibly making her a few years older than her siblings.
I am a descendant of William Harrisson and Martha Barbara McLeod, the 3rd daughter of Angus and Susan.
The link you gave me, on Trove, was most informative. It actually answered/ confirmed a few of my questions This extensive article is from the Launceston newspaper, whereas I only had a shorter article from the Hobart newspaper. I must say, I was immensely proud, beyond belief, when I read how high in regard Angus  was held. I say this as I come from a family rich in military history, including my husband, so it makes it even more special Thank you!
I am currently putting am email together to send off to the Neville Kitchener you mentioned below. Again, thank you!

British Army Service Records 1760-1915, West Indies (is on findmypast is it on ancestry? maybe you could look in there)

I guess your trail goes to St.Vincent in the West Indies. It will be interesting if you can get old parish registers from there. Yes Angus McLeod is quite interesting, maybe it will all lead back to the McLeods in Scotland.

The second Angus Mcleod served in the 21st Regiment from 1800 to 1816 and was born about 1780 in Assent, Belgium.

You may have to research the muster books in the National Archives circa 1830 to confirm that your Angus was discharged then, as per his service record.
