Rev Donald Maccoll gave evidence to the Napier Commission at Torlum on 29 May 1883. He was the Roman Catholic priest, resident at Ardkenneth House and Church, in the district of Howmore in South Uist. Donald was aged 45, and had 3 domestic and farm servants at the house. Donald Maccoll originated from Kilmalie in Argyll. As a result of that information, we find Donald as a 15-year old on the 1851 census, living at 11 Achfupil near Kilmallie in Argyll. His father's name is Hector, a crofter of 2 acres, who is helped around the house by his daughter Mary (28). Donald has two younger siblings, Charles (13) and John (8).
I have not been able to locate Donald Maccoll's death record.
