I am looking for MacIvers from Uig. Donald and Christina MacIver b 1861 had at least 6 children. One of these, Charles MacIver b 1887 emigrated to Winnipeg Manitoba. Eventually became Chief of Police there. I would like to find descendents of his brothers and sisters: Catherine, Mary, Johanna, Neil and Christina.

Macivers of 15 Breasclete. After the death of Finlay Maciver in 1885 widow Ann Maciver (nee Macarthur) emigrated with her family to Queensland Australia, that is all those who were still living except son Donald 1859- would was married and lived in Glasgow
