McNeil Family from Earlish, Snizort, Skye

Alan,

I have searched most records about the Nov 1881 storm including local newspapers and the archives on Skye itself, but have never found anything about my Norman McLeod. It is only the fact that the majority of his family were in Renton in the 1881 census and there is a possible Norman with son Donald in Snizort, Skye that made us consider his death being fishing related. Given the the length of time between census and Nov storm I am not certain that he would have spend so long away from his family. It is also interesting that all his children have him on their marriage certificate as a fisherman except Christina McLeod who in her 1882 certificate, the first marriage certificate to show Norman as deceased, has him as a general labourer. Maybe he did not die at sea, but then why no death certificate???
