Ross & Cromarty / Re: Roderick McDonald in Dingwall

Hallo, the reference I have is to a Roderick McDonald born in Bracadale Isle of Skye, who later moved with his wife Janet to Fodderty.
A number of years ago our family engaged a genealogist friend to research our family history, and who then furnished the information supplied. We have no idea of any of the details of when and why they moved from Bracadale to Fodderty, or even why they were in Bracadale in the first place,
but again it might be reasonably surmised that there was perhaps part of the McDonald family already living in Fodderty.
There were a great deal of illegitimate births in the Highlands at that time, and you have access to more detailed information from the Census than I have, and attempting to unravel the threads of family ties is a very difficult and time-consuming project.
