MACLEOD family

[Annette7]

If I'm reading this all right, Kenneth b.1867 (not 1868) was John's brother, not his father, and their respective father was Kenneth married to Christy Morrison.

1881 has the family as McLeod.

OK got them
Kenneth McLeod  47
 Chirstin McLeod  40
 Angus McLeod  15
 Kenneth McLeod  13
 Wm McLeod  11
 Maragret McLeod  8
 Madden McLeod  5
 Donald McLeod  3
 Christina McLeod  11 M

So no daughters that could be a possible for John.
Christina seems a very productive mother.

Yes, 14 is a bit young to have children ...!

Here is the John and Ida's marriage certificate in Zululand in 1923.
He was 38, son of Kenneth.
Another document is a part of Ida's mother's diary (Margaret Emily Jenkinson) which mentions Ida's scotch adress :
c/o Rev Ken. Macleod, Ardgay Ross-Shire Scotland.
It is confirmed by a passengers list from SA to UK in 1923 : look at the page on the right, in the middle.
We made some researches about rev Kenneth Macleod in Ardgay, he was the minister of Kincardine, Ardgay, see the last document.

It's a pity I haven't found the 1911 census in Ardgay, so I don't know anything about his marriage.

It's not easy for me to see Kenneth son of Kenneth who's father is Kenneth ...!! So many Kenneth Macleod !!
My mother is Margaret Christine Macleod, born in SA in 1926.

His marriage cert. only says his father is Kenneth so why do you think it's Kenneth MA?

Kenneth MacLeod (who became a Crofter) married Christina Morrison 12/12/1861 (per Scotlands People) - Kenneth bc.1836 son of William MacLeod and Christian MacLeod, Christina dau. of Kenneth Morrison and Margaret McFarlane.

From census/familysearch we know they had the following children:

Angus born 7/8/1865
Kenneth born 16/5/1867
Donald born 24/7/1869 (must have died)
William born circa 1870
Margaret born 9/6/1872
Murdo born circa 1876
Donald born circa 1878
Christina born circa 1880
John born circa 1884

You will only find John's birth on Scotlands People (a pay to view site) BUT there were 8 John MacLeods's registered in Stornaway, Ross & Cromarty in 1884 alone and no way of knowing which one is 'yours' without working through the list.

Mother Christina died in 1892 and looks like Kenneth remarried in 1897 to a Margaret McKay whom he is with in 1901.

So, John (1884) and Kenneth (1867) are brothers, son of Kenneth MacLeod bc.1836 who in turn is the son of a William MacLeod.
