Stornoway Macdonalds in 1851 .....

[Carole Parkes]

Could some kind person please do a 1851 census look-up for me please?
I'm looking for Barbara MACDONALD (b about 1840 in Stornoway).

I have seen the 1841 census index and there is a Barbara MACDONALD, age 2 with her mother Margaret and some other children who could be her siblings; the 1841 index doesn't give relationships. A search on the IGI gives Barbara Morrison MACDONALD c 1838 whose parents were Ewen MACDONALD and Margaret REID. At the moment I have no idea if this is the right Barbara but she did name her first son Ewen Macdonald
BARLOW. I have her in the 1861-1901 census of Liverpool. I also have her first husbamd in Liverpool in 1851. He was Augustus BARLOW, a Russian mariner.

Could somebody help with this MACDONALD family please?

Sorry I can't help Carole but it looks though that family may have been in Aberdeenshire by 1851.
