Hi again
Just to summarise:
John M(a)cleod b.c. 1796, Farr, Sutherland. Parents - Donald McLeod and Mary McKay. Died 16 May 1869, aged 74.
Christina Sutherland, b.c. 1798, Latheron, Caithness. Parents - William Sutherland, farmer and Catherine Sinclair. Died - 8 July 1872, aged 74.
Married 5 May 1822, Latheron, Caithness
Children:
1824 Donald
1826 James
1827 Elizabeth
1828 Mary
1830 William Malcolm
1833 Sarah ->Esther
1837 Janet (Jessie)
1839 Farquhar
1843 Alexander
1846 Catherine
I remember you saying that the story was that they had 11 children. The above list has 10 - are there any more that you know of. Otherwise, the Christina who was listed with an Elizabeth in 1841 might well be the missing one.
Regards

My info refers to "a family of 11" so I am thinking that means 9 children.
Hope you slept well 
Am currently searching out donald and Mary and have a possible marriage 7 april 1786 Reay Caithness. There is another possibility in oct 1799. IF John was born in or about 1796-7 then the later would be ruled out... and if the former is correct, then there are presumably a bunch more siblings of John! Janet gets no mention in the family info I have, so am trying to get hold of an Aunt who supplied this info to me to see if she has anything on Janet.

I cannot confirm John's birth in Farr, sutherland in or about 1795. Even if he is wrong about his birth place, nothing fits in Sutherland or Caithness for him...
As for Donald mcLeod and Mary MacKay, his parents they dont ever seem to have existed in the records.
