Hello Debbie,
 
I have recently discovered some ancestors who come from Sleat in Skye and wondered if you had any information about them.
Alexander Robertson (34) Calligary, married Catherine MacPherson (27) Ord. on 24th November 1857. Alexander was a fisherman - his parents were Archibald Robertson & Christina McKinnon. Archibald was a cottar. Catherine's parents were Ewen MacPherson & Mary Robertson.

Debbie,   I think you are correct.   Niel McLure and Margaret were listed in the 1841 census ,  he was 50 and she was 30.  would put her birth at about 1811.  I recieved your file thru my e-mail but I was unable to open it.   I don't have microsoft 2000.  Is it possible to send the file some other way.? 

Could you list the first 10 children that you have for Niel's marriage to the fist Margaret McGillivary?  I only have 7 listed. 

 Thanks ---     John McClure

Hi John,  I have re-sent the file in plain txt format.  The first file was a Family Tree Maker 2005 generated report in rtf format.

You will lose some of the formatting, but the info should remain the same.

Let me know if you are able to open it successfully.

I goofed on the 10 children for Neil and Margaret - I believe there was 8 to the first marriage, and 2 to the second marriage.

The first 8 are -

Mary, Alexander, Donald, Neil, Donald, James, Ann, John

Hi Alexena,
I have gone through my database, and I do have lots of Robertsons, and McPhersons.  But none that match your family!  Sorry
