Skye - Neil MacLeod c 1825 & Christina MacLean c 1830

[fifer1947]

OK thinking outside the box here there is only one NEIL McLeod marriage registered on the OPRs for Inverness between 1836 and 1847 that was to a Mary and in Portree March 1847.  There are 9 NIEL McLeod marriages during the same period so it looks likely spelling is holding you back.

I'll carry on checking these

Hi Fifer,

I did use surname soundex. I now have 4 birth certs. 2 give yr of marriage 1845 & 1847 others no date at all. The other 2 births were not where stated on census as Duirinish but BRACADALE.

I still can't find Roderick Gordon MacLeod whether Duirinish, Bracadale or anywhere for that matter.

Still can't find Neil's death (hubby of Christina MacLean) - Methuselah 2nd

There are 2 Niel Mcleod marriages on 17 January 1839 @ Bracadale both females surnames start Mc* (but not McLean) one has the forename Christian.  Would this not tie in with Monica's 1841 finding?

I did use surname soundex.

Surname soundex would not correct a forename spelling.

There's a Roderick (no middle name) Mcleod born 1856 Duirinish have you eliminated him?

[Rosinish]

Thanks Fifer,

You know I think I did use the "beginning with" for forname if I remember correctly but will go back to SP & check? I'm so tired with this lot my brain is overworked 

Yes I have eliminated him. His parents are Torquill & Mary Fraser.

I found someone with a tree on Anc*stry who have a couple Neil & Christina but he has different parents for her so I'm awaiting a reply to see what comes of it because I'm still certain there are 2 couples with same names?

A death in Bracadale Neil Mcleod aged 84 1903, and one in Duirinish in 1916 aged 89.

I have 3 deaths in my folder so will look and see where & what's on them as I have discounted them.

Years are 1913, 1916 & 1898
