Surnames: Forbes, McAulay, McPherson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/EEX.2ACIB/713 Message Board Post: Can anyone help me with Alexander Forbes who married Mary McAulay in 1830 in Glenshiel, Ross & Cromarty? In the 1851 census Mary was a widow and a pauper living at Achnaturd Easter, Ross & Cromarty. See this website to download 1851 census data (not my website - a coincidence): http://web.ukonline.co.uk/sheila.jones/ceninfo.htm Mary and Alexander Forbes had 3 children, William, Helen and Barbara. William married Margaret McPherson from Sleat, Skye in 1865. They had at least 5 children: Christy, Norman, Alexander, Mary and Barbara.
