My 2great grandfather Angus McDonald is stated on 1841 Census to have been born in GLENELG. 1801 His wife was Catherine McRAE born Kintail. 1807/8 I think I now have the siblings ( although only half were on the IGI - found a further 5 on the 1841 census) Cannot find a death for ANgus or Catherine - nor what happened to the family after the 1851 census. THis is the time that the MacDONNELS cleared the Knoydart area. THis area of Glenelg seems to include all of the Knoydart penninsular. All I know of the period between 1851 and 1861 is that my greatgrandfather Donald McDONALD was in Stirlingshire (as a shepherd) about to marry Elizabeth MacFarlane and emigrate to NZ in 1862 It is a "brick Wall" who Angus's parents were?? or where he died ??and where Catherine. died?? Also what happened to the other siblings of Donalds??? - namely Margaret, Helen, Catherine, Christy, Ann, Roberick and Archibald What I did want to ask you was how did your get information on the Kirk Sessions??? Would like to hear from you, regards Janet Macdonald (Married name Drinnan)
