Benbecula, John Mcleod

John Mcleod gave very brief evidence to the Napier Commission during its session at Torlum on 29 May 1883. He appears in the census of 1881 with his wife May at Buailedhu, Iochdar, with their children Angus (6), Margaret (12), Ann (15), Peter (17) and Norman (19) as well as John's brother Alexander. The 1891 census is an update of the 1881 one, but in 1901 we see John and Mary (aged 79 and 70 respectively), with their son Norman (39) and his wife Marrion (26) and their children Cathrine (2) and John (9 months).

John Mcleod passed away on 28 April 1916 at the age of 95 of supposed old age. He was the son of Norman and Ann Mcleod nee Macintyre.
