McIntosh / MacIntosh, Kingussie - census info please

[OzEnigma]

Hi all

I am seeking information about my great grandfather's roots. I know he grew up in Kingussie but lived most of his life in Australia. While known as Alexander, I think his real name was Alister McIntosh (b.1861). His parents were, I think, James MacIntosh (b.1825) and Margaret Meldrum (b.1829 d.1865). His siblings were, as far as I know: Isabella (b.1848), Catherine (b.1850), Jessie (b.1853), Donald (b.1855), James (b.1858) and Robert (b.1863).

I'd be very grateful to see some census information about this family - doesn't matter which year.

Just some additional information to the above - James MacIntosh, my great great grandfather, remarried after the death of Margaret Meldrum. He married Marjorie McKay in 1866 and they had a daughter, Jane (b.1868).

Yes, that is very helpful. Thanks. Our family didn't have that piece of information before. That explains the naming of their first child.
One day I'll get to Kingussie. Many years ago, other relatives visited and found the cemetery full of McIntosh's ...
