Kemp family Gairloch

I am looking for the forebears of Alexander Kemp born 1816 and married to Kitty Gollan. He was the father of Donald Kemp who was born in Portree in 1853.

Hi Tormod

Welcome to RootsChat  Smiley

There is a small tree on Ancestry for Donald, son of Alexander and Kitty. Not a lot of info on it but it does show Alexander, father, as having died in 1895 in Portree. His parents show as William Kemp and Isabella Lily MacKenzie (1785-1858). Given these dates, you should be able to verify this information by checking Alexander's death entry on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk
