I believe that McLeod was the anglicized version on McCuaig. Rachel used the name McLeod on her marriage certificate when they were married in Govan, near Glasgow. Their 1st child was born on the mainland and Rachel used McLeod to record the birth. Some of the later children born in Islay have Rachel's name recorded as McLeod. I am still trying to determine if Hugh Campbell's middle name really was McLeod or if this was a mistake made by the person who registered his death. If Hugh's middle name really is McLeod, Hugh and Rachel may have been related. This couple are my great grandparents. I would be interested in any information that anyone might have on them. I believe Hugh's father was named Colin or James.

Is Anglicization the reason for the name change, or does there seem to be another motivation?
