John Mackellag gave evidence to the Napier Commission at Torlum on 29 May 1883. We find him on the 1871 census at Hacklet, Benbecula, aged 44. He is living with his sisters Effy and Ann and four cousins, varying in ages from 5 to 25.
I suspect that misspellings of John's surname may account for his apparent absence from other census records.
