Alexander McLEOD (or MacLEOD), married Alexanderina STEWART on 23 Jun 1863, in Kincardine, Ross and Cromarty. So far, I have found 4 children - Murdo b.21.3.1864 Kincardine Donald b.13.1.1866 Kincardine Mary b.17.1.1868 Kincardine Robert b.25.2.1874 Kincardine. Mary is the person marrying into our family - she married in 1893 and moved to Cromarty. I am hoping to find Alexander and Alexanderina's places of birth from the censuses, and any other children they may have had. Any help someone can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Suzanne Irvine Brisbane, Aust. ==== ROSSGEN Mailing List ==== To remove your email address from this list, visit this url: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~cheps/maillist.htm

Hiya Suzanne, From Gordon's extract of the 1881 census that gives her birthplace as Lochbroom, and your note that Alexanderina's maiden surname was Stewart, I took a look at the Coigach censuses,... no luck there, she must be from some other part of the Parish. The name "Robert" was found with several Coigach Stewart families, very rare with other surnames in that area, and my guess is her son was named for her father or other relative,... seem to recall a family with Robert Stewart as Head at Ullapool... For what its worth, the Stewarts in Coigach are said to descend from four Stewart of Appin soldiers, who fled with their familys following Culloden, and found refuge among the poor people there. My website at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~coigach now has all the 1841, '51, '61, and '71 censuses transcribed and annotated, with a good start on 1881 and 1891. Once those are complete I intend to add the area east of the Coigach peninsula, which some records refer to as part of Coigach, including Ullapool. All the best from a hot and muggy Niagara, Donald.
