Angus McLeod born 1823 Lochbroom

[Sildeag]

I found Angus McLeod in the 1881 census for Tarbet, Ross-shire.  He is married to Mary Ross and they have three children with them: Rachel 1854, Murdoch 1861, and George 1868.

In looking at Lochbroom births I found an Angus born to father Allan McLeod (I believe his mother is likely Christian McLeod).

On investigation I noted two different Allans.  There is an Allan McLeod who married Christian McLeod 16 Jan 1815 and an Allan MacLeod, feuar, who married Isobel or Isabella Graham 11 Feb 1819 in Lochbroom.

I don't know if either family ever went to Australia.

is from Killearnan, ROC which is 4 miles from Beauly, which probably accounts for the Fraser mother.

Angus and Mary McLeod arrived into New South Wales  on board the
"Winifred"  on 1st November 1856 with son Archibald.

Can anyone help sort this out?

Look up the death of your Angus on SP & download a copy of his death cert to get his parents names & mothers maiden name

www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

Can't see the 1881 census you refer to - please post full details

This is hopefully okay to post.

If it is the 1881 entry can you please fully transcribe so it is visible to everybody.  I can't download or open it on my iPad

Hope this works.

There is an Angus McLeod who died in 1905 aged 80 in Tarbat.

Have you downloaded Angus's death cert as per previous reply?  Probable death in 1891 on SP

Surely if Angus was in the 1881 census, he can't be the one who had emigrated to Australia in 1856, a quarter of a century earlier? Or did they come back, in which case it's sort of irrelevant?

As has been suggested, the death certificate should sort it out.

But according to that tree, their son Angus married Mary McSporran, not Mary Ross. Do not trust it (or any other online trees you may come across).

I agree.  However, I spent the 6 credits and discovered that Angus McLeod aged 80 in 1901 census and aged 80 on his death in 1905, who was married to Mary Ross has parents Murdoch McLeod and Ann McLeod both of Tarbat, ROC.  The other Angus McLeod aged 68 at his death in 1891 of Lochbroom, ROC is married to Isabella Urquhart and has parents Roderick McLeod and Christina McLeod.

So which Angus MacLeod are you actually trying to find?
