Neil Morrison of Assynt abt 1715
« on: Friday 25 September 09 22:13 BST (UK) »
Would anyone have any information on a Neil Morrison, born  Kyle Strome, Assynt who married a Mary MacKay about 1740?

Best wishes,

Inez

Hi Inez  :)

As far as I can work out, the Old Parish Registers for Assynt are only available from  1798 onwards so it's difficult to do any searching unless you have access to other sources in the Nat Library in Edinburgh, etc.

From where did you get the information?

Hi Inez:

Neil Morrison of Kylestrome married Mary Mackay, daughter of Donald Mackay, Clasneach, and Barbara Sutherland. Donald Mackay was of the Strathy branch of Mackays, according to the Book of Mackay. This book does not give descendants of Neil & Mary; however, the janj web site does, although I am dubious about this information.

The janj website? I'm missing something. I think my brain is fried. Too many MacLeods, Morrisons and MacKays!

Sorry. The address is so long I tried to copy and paste it, but it didn't work. I'll try again:
