Donald Mackinnon gave evidence to the Napier Commission at Torlum, Benbecula, on 29 May 1883. We find him in the 1881 census as a joiner at Balvanich, aged 68. He is married to Sarah (52) and has five children, varying in ages from 6 to 28. Their names are John (28), Ketty (20), Alexander (14), Ranald (10) and Meron (6). The 1871 census misspells his first name as Donal, and shows three more sons, Donal and Neil (ages between John and Catherine (Ketty in 1881 census), as well as Ewen, who was younger than Catherine.
I have been unable to trace Donald's death record.
