That maiden name does not help sort the deaths out.

This death is not a good fit for age

Something is not right. Same family or not?

Effy is unmarried and a sister so Catherine's maiden name is also Macpherson.

Can't find a birth/baptism for Effy.

 

[DaveHam9]

This is the only birth in SP but age in census and age in shipping record and age at death point to 1855.

Father = Dougald, a crofter

Mother = Margaret MS MacDonald


OR

there is no birth/Baptism for the Neil/Niel in my tree and parents are Angus & Catherine ??

No Dougald in Inverness in 1851 in FreeCEN.

Only one Margaret in Portree in 1851 and can't fit being a Widow.

I can't find a Dougald/Dougall in 1851.

Don't know where I am with this one.

 

[DaveHam9]

A summary.

Age in shipping record and at death point to 1855 not 1857 so possibly no birth/baptism in SP.

Children named Angus and Catherine so I think could be parents.

Need to trace the two we do have reg for. The one in South Uist should be easy as that is a long way from Portree.

FreeCEN only covers 1841 and 1851.

Now I have 2 credits left.

Angus, crofter, deceased
Catherine MS Macpherson


A crofter is not a boatman so some of those census don't fit.

Where is Angus the crofter in 1851 ? Or he changed occupations ??

Working backwards then from this one.
