1881
Piece 1141 Folio 3 Page 6
Registration District: Portree
Civil Parish: Portree
Municipal Borough:
County: Invernessshire
Address: 2 Braes Public School, Portree
MACPHERSON, Niel Head Mar M 25 Farm 3 Ac Ar & Common Portree G, Invernessshire
MACPHERSON, Margaret Wife Mar F 23 Farmer's Wife Portree G, Invernessshire
MACPHERSON, Catherine Mother Widow F 68 Housekeeper Portree G, Invernessshire
MACPHERSON, Marion Sister Unm F 28 Dom Serv General Portree G, Invernessshire

That is curious

Neil Macpherson b. 2 May 1857 Portree, Inverness
Dougald Macpherson & Margaret Macdonald
Batch: C111141

Death reg does not help re mother's name:

1932/B16763 Macpherson Neil - Macpherson - ** born Inverness, Scotland aged 77 years

So, wrong birth reg for Neil/Niel or second marriage for his father? Age at death points to 1855.

I don't have the Macphersons in 1861 or 1871.
