McLeod/Macleod in Nova Scotia

[didowells]

I wonder if there is anyone studying this name.

I have a William Macleod married to a Jane Watson but don't know the date or whether they married in Scotland or Nova Scotia.  They were both born in Scotland.  Don't know when William was born but Jane was born circa 1816.

The children I know definitely about are Sarah Ann born 1848 in Nova Scotia, William c 1851 and Elizabeth Bethia c 1854.

I have found the family I think on the 1871 census for Nova Scotia District 201 Sub-District ?  Also on this census are some more possible children - Mary c 1844 and Daniel c 1847.  It also has my said William and Elizabeth but how can I prove it's the right family?

I have also found two death certificates one for Daniel W born 1849 died 1931 and a Henry? born 1851 died 1928 in Point Edward.  Both these certificates bear the name of the parents Capt Wm MacLeod and Jane Watson.

Here's hoping someone can help me.
