Hi
Does anyone have anything on JOHN MACAULAY b 1806 and his wife ANN MACAULAY b 1806 married in 1825. They both came from Uig, Isle of Lewis but moved before 1841 census to Shader, Point, Isle of Lewis.
They had seven children : ANN b1826, CHRISTIAN b1829, NEIL b1831, MURDO b1834, MARY b1836, JOHN b1839.
Thanks in advance
Catriona.

Have you tried http://www.hebrideanconnections.com/
It looks excellent!
The link to seallam given above is also brilliant - I gave in and paid £70 and was delighted with the results for my Lewis ancestors.
Kind regards,
William

Apologies Joe and William for not replying earlier.
Thank you Joe - yes that is the family I am researching but what I would like to know is when they moved from Uig to Shulishader. I have all the information after they moved to Point.
And William thanks for the link - I contacted Hebridean Connections last year and they did try to help but at that time they didn't have the info I am needing but will let me know if they come across anything - they are all so helpful there.
In the meantime I have found that my MacAulay ancestors came from Bosta and Kirkibost in Bernera, Isle of Lewis but am still in the dark as to why and when they moved to Shulishader, Point.
Thanks for your help.
Good luck in your searches
Catriona

Google Bernera Historical Society and a few contacts appear. They should at least be able to tell you about the general economy at the time which I suspect is why they left. At that time alot of people left Uig and populated Carloway and Barvas. Bernera is a small enough place that there are living people who remember stories and family memories. Bosta is a beautiful place with a lovely beach!!
