Angus Macaulay gave evidence to the Napier Commission at Locheport on 30 May 1883. We find him on the 1881 census in a large household of Macaulay's, who are not marked down as his relatives. The resident family has 10 children; Angus is a visitor, described as a farm servant. In the 1871 census, Angus, aged 17, is living with his brother, John Macaulay, .
The 1861 census shows Angus Macaulay on the island of Heisker, which lies 6 miles west of North Uist, as an 8-year old scholar living with his brother John, who is aged 21 at that time.
In 1891, Angus is one of a household of 17 people, half of them aged 18 or under, at Tigharry in North Uist. His relationship to the head of the household (Roderick Macaulay) is described as that of cousin.
Not until 1901 do we find a reference to Angus Macaulay at Middle Quarter in North Uist, married to Femmie [Euphemia?] and with two young sons, Angus John and William Angus.
Angus Macaulay succumbed to the effects of septicaemia on 29 April 1909 at the age of 54. He was the son of Angus and Christina Macaulay (nee Ferguson), and was married to Euphemia who survived him.
