Title: Steel, Walker, O'Henly, McDonald, Morrison, Hutcheson

Discussion: Hi all

Have been doing a bit more research in these winter months and unearthed a few more family ties!! I'll try and put them down best I can and if ayone can add to the picture then feel free!!!

My links with S Uist start around 1898 when my great grandfather (James Gallagher - Donegal) married Mary McDonald from S Uist (b c1879 d 1908).

Mary was the daughter of Donald McDonald (b c1837) and Mary Morrison (b c1846 d1925) - following the Morrison line at this point I have established that Mary Morrison was the daughter of Jane O'Henly (b c1811 d1871) and Angus Morrison (b c1804 d 1869)*

Jane was the daughter of John O'Henly (no details) and Penelope Steel b c1783 d 1869) and Penelope was the daughter of Donald Steel and Catherine Walker no details for either.

Angus morrison (b c1804 d1869) was the son of Alexander Morrison and Mary Hutcheson no details for either.

As I say anyone who can fill any gaps would be appreciated

Cheers

Stevie Gallagher

Sometime between 1800 and 1820 Iain Stiubhard and his wife Sarah MacDonald went to Cape Breton Island. They were Gaelic speaking Roman Catholics and settled among other emigrants from South Uist, so I have to assume they were from there.

For what it's worth, Sarah was known as "Red" Stewart because of her flaming hair color, which runs in several branches of our family to this day.

Thanks for any hints,
Jim Petermann
