114351: 9a Tolsta Chaolais

9 Tolsta Chaolais was first tenanted by John Macleod (1823-1906) who may have come from Tolsta Chaolais.  He was married to Christina Macdonald (1824-1907) from 17 Leurbost but had originated from Hacklete, Bernera.  In a series of removals in 1865, John Macleod removed to 14 Tolsta Chaolais and the croft passed to Alexander Macgregor (1811-1871), 10 Tolsta Chaolais.  Alexander was married to Ann Macaulay (1811-1891) from 27 Breasclete.

On widow Ann Macgregor’s death, the croft was split between her sons Donald at 9a Tolsta Chaolais and Norman at 9b Tolsta Chaolais.

On Donald’s death, the croft passed to his son Alexander and then to Alexander’s daughter Catherine and to cousin Aulay Mackay, 16 Tolsta Chaolais.  The croft was later sold.
