Hi ,

Looking at the free LDS 1881 Census transcription on Scotlandspeople -
Mary McLeod(McPherson) S Dau 16 born Duirimish Inverness (Duirinish ?).

Does Neil's death certificate name both his wives ?

Was Neil married on the 1871 Census ?

Hi ev , Thank you for your time & help , Neils death certificate does not show both wives for some reason only his second wife Dorothy McKinnon Macpherson nee Campbell ... The 1871 census shows Neil living at home not married ...
It looks like he married after the census was taken for 1871 ...

kind regards Edward  :) :) :)
