completed thanks - census lookup Arisaig, SCO Margaret MacDonald
« on: Tuesday 07 March 06 02:52 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
I'm looking for Margaret (Flora) MacDonald b abt 1836 in Arisaig, Scotland.
Should be in 1841 and 1851 census.
She came to Australia in 1952 with parents adn 4 brothers and sisters so there should be some siblings listed too I hope.

All I know is she's a descendant of Fionnghal (Flora) MacDonald 1722-1790.
Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry I didn't know which board to post it on. Know nothing about Arisaig or where it is at all.

Thanks in advance,

Lilygirl.

Hi Lilygirl,

Arisaig is in Inverness-shire, on the mainland across from the bottom of the Isle of Skye.  If you l look at www.multimap.co.uk, you can search for it on there and see where it is.  You can also get a little more information about the area at http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/sct/INV/index.html.  There is a rootschat board for Inverness-shire, so you might want to post there too.

Cheers,
Clare
