Angus McLeod born 1823 Lochbroom

[Sildeag]

I was trying to find Angus McLeod born 1823 in Lochbroom but obviously was more interested in Angus McLeod who appeared in 1881 census.  I had to remove the 1881 census which showed his birth location as Lochbroom as it probably violated copyright.

You can type out the details yourself in a reply

My original gave the relevant birth dates.  Obviously, the FamilySearch.org tree Scottish ancestry is completely off and fits unrelated facts.  Not sure why the 1881 census show birth in Lochbroom but I have the parents Murdoch and Ann McLeod both born in Tarbat, ROC.  Murdoch's parents are Angus McLeod and Henrietta McLean of Assynt.  Ann's parents are unknown to me but are certainly not from Lochs, ROC.

He has undertaken detailed studies of the Coigach area and has a vast amount of information  about the various McLeod families there.

I used to live there and collected a fair amount of information  but it is now stored away.

There are still McLeods living in Achnahaird.

Living at Fearn in 1851 is Murdoch McLEOD, 57, Ann MLEOD, 52, Angus McLEOD, 26, Kenneth McLEOD, 22, Donald McLEOD, 19, and Mary McLEOD, 16.  Everyone in the family is said to be born at Lochbroom.  In 1861 they are in Tarbat.

Is this not the family you are looking for?

Donald MacDonald-Ross sent me this for the other Angus. 
"Death registered as 4 Aug 1873 at 'Glutan' (Glutton) of 86 year old Christina Macleod, Pauper, Widow of Roderick MacLeod, Tenant, daughter of Norman McLeod, Tenant, and Henrietta, maiden surname Maclean. Informant her son, Angus McLeod."  His parents.

Also, his guess is newly married Angus had moved out shortly before the 1841 census, and 2 year old Margaret was an illegitimte daughter of his 17 year old Mary.

For any Australians following this thread: regarding their Angus, no luck at all.
