Surnames: MacInnes Morrison Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/EgC.2ACE/10062.1 Message Board Post: According to the Lawson croft history, your couple were cottars in Dubh-gearraidh, Smercleit towards the southern tip of S Uist before emigrating to East Williams in 1852. He shows both of them as originating in Smercleit. There seems to me a strong possibility that she was the Margaret b. 1816 to John Morrison 1775-1866 [son of another Iain] and his wife Margaret Macleod 1782-1855 [daughter of Eoghainn Mhuilleir from Smercleit Mill]. John and Margaret had a croft identified as 414 Smercleit. The MacInnes family had what became 404 and 405 Smercleit and it would appear that Donald may have been a brother of Angus MacInnes at 404 and Finlay MacInnes at 405. If so, he was also son of an Iain [i.e. John] MacInnes. As well as Marion/Sarah/Mor, you no doubt know that there were a further 8 children born in S Uist before the family left, two of them, Mary and Margaret dying in infancy. If you want those or the families of the other folk mentioned above, let me know. Good hunting
