His wife Janet ( Betsy ) was a Stewart.before her marrige to John. Their daughter Eliza was my GG grandmother. She married Duncan Campbell in Port Ellen 23rd January 1839 Malcolm and Stewart McLeod together with their cousin sailed from Glasgow on the Danial Rankin on 5th September 1863 for New Zealand settling in the South Island. In 1866 Malcolm returned to Islay and brought back his 75 year old Mother and his sister Eliza and husband Duncan. Why was the name McCuaig changed to McLeod at about that time?

What a wonderful Isle it is. I would appriciate any infomation that may help my search. Thanks Margaret Noble. New zealand

Hi there, I believe the William and Cirsty McCuaig you have listed there are my 5 x great grandparents, however they are a separate family than the rest of the McCuaigs you have listed which is why on the census it has William listed as William McCuaig instead of do. Hope this helps.
