Hello Michelle You did not mention having seen the 1881 census so looked it up for you. I found your family in Assynt in 1881: Alexander Stewart, crofter, aged 60, born Assynt Wife Margaret, aged 52, born Assynt Son Donald, fisherman, age 30, born Assynt Son John, fisherman, age 25, born Assynt William, son, scholar, aged 16, born Assynt Son, Norman, scholar, aged 11, born Assynt I also had a look in the Graveyard Inscriptions at Nedd - no sign of Alexander and wife Margaret but may be some sons.
