Catherine/Christian MacLeod

Christian Macleod was born 1809 in Aird Tong Stornoway Isle of Lewis Scotland. We see her living in Vatisker, Stornoway, Ross-Shire, Scotland on the 1841, 1851, 1861 and 1871 Censuses with her family: her husband William MacLeod in 1841, 1851, 1861 and with her son, John, in 1871. Her birth date is consistently placed around 1810 and in Ross-shire. The members of her families are crofters and fisherman by occupation.

Origins

The birth was not registered for Christian/Catherine nor have they found any probate records.

As of 25 June 2019, it does not seem possible to confirm her parents as Donald MacLeod & Margaret MacLeod (that is, the same person as Christian MacLeod )

Notes

Per ScottishRoots:

No official record was made of the birth or baptism of Alexander MacLeod - the grandfather of Mary Anne MacLeod Trump) but, according to the ages shown for him in various sources, i.e. census returns, his marrage and death certificates, he would have been born in Stornoway around 1830. This was before the advent in Scotland of compulsory registration of these events in 1855. His death record reveals that both he and his father had been crofters and that each of his parents was also named MacLeod - William and Catherine.
