South Uist, Donald Gillies

Donald Gillies was the witness for Caolas an Eilean, and resident at 3 South Lochboisdale when he gave evidence to Lord Napier's Commission at Lochboisdale on 28 May 1883. He was aged 35, as was his wife Penelope, and they had five children: Mary (7), Ann (6), Donald (4), Mary (2) and Angus (5 months). The family appears in the 1901 census, although their ages are askew in comparison with the 1881 census.

I have been unable to determine Donald's exact date of death, but it is likely to have been in the early 1930s.
