Hi Folks I am trying to locate the marriage of my 2*Great grand parents Neil M(a)cLEAN and Rachel NIC(H)OLSON and details of their children; so far unsuccessfully, by having a Professional researcher checking for both: i.e 1851 Census and Kilmuir Parish Records. According to a Register of Births in 1855 of an unnamed female daughter shows Neil & Rachel were married 1841 Kilmure which I assume maybe Kilmuir. Rachel's birthplace is noted as Stenscholl Eastside and Niel's as Broadford Strath. This unnamed child was born at Idrigil, Uig Snizort. This certificate also shows that Rachel was the mother of 6 children (girls) of whom at this time 4 living. I have found details of another daughter (Marion) who was born April 1859 and my Great Grandfather Alexander who was born 22 September 1856. By 1865 Alexander was in New Zealand and I am still trying to track down Shipping Records to there too!! Niel's occupation is listed as Sailor & Crofter which suggests to me wherever he moved to he rented property! Would this be correct? If anyone can help me I would truly be most appreciative. Thank you for reading:-)) Best wishes Rachel Alliston Cardiff...Hunter Valley...Australia ralliston@optusnet.com.au (Default) alliston@msn.com.au
