James Maccorquidale gave evidence to the Napier Commission at Loch Eport on 30 May 1883. We find him on the North Uist census returns as a 76-year old crofter, living with his wife Mary (78) and daughters Flor (40), Catherine (37) and son Alexander (36). Alexander has his son James with him.
In 1851, we find James at Carinish in North Uist, where he is a farmer. Obviously 30 years younger, in the company of Mary and their children Malcolm (23), Flora (19), Ketty (16), Alexander (14), Allan (12), Mary (9) and Peggy (6).
