22716: Kenneth Macleod
Coinneach ‘an Aonghais
Kenneth Macleod (1837-1919) was a son of John Macleod and Anne Maclean, 8 Calbost.
In Lochs, in 1864, he married Mary Macmillan, 17 Crossbost. Kenneth and Mary were cottars at 8 Calbost and they had nine children.
Like many other families in the area, the scourge of Pulmonary Tuberculosis decimated this family.
Some time after 1891 the family moved to 3 Marvig where they acquired a croft after Kenneth’s cousin, John Maclean, Iain Dhomhnaill Choinnich, moved to Stornoway.
Kenneth was widowed in 1908.
