Additional information

In May of this year, I blogged about two men who had been found dead on North Rona in 1885. Having watched a program on BBC TV, it now appears that the Malcolm Macdonald was one of the men from Ness who climbed the Stack of Handa in 1870. This feat is now credited with being the first recreational rock climb in Great Britain.

In the Poor House

I happened across an entry in the 1901 census for Stornoway for the inmates of the Combination Poor House. This was built in 1894-6 on the Coulregrein Road, nowadays Westview Terrace, in Stornoway. It was used in 1904 to house some of the survivors from the sinking of SS Norge at Rockall in June that year. About 700 passengers drowned; 9 died after coming ashore in Lewis and lie buried in Sandwick Cemetery.
The building could accommodate 66 inmates, but was found to have 72 beds in 1946. Coulregrein House no longer exists (source workhouses.org.uk).

The 1901 census entry (which I have summarised here) has been analysed by my friend and fellow researcher Direcleit, and I refer to his post from 2010. I am highlighting four people, for whom I could trace further information with a degree of certainty.

Donald Macmaster Cattanach (46)
Married to : Jacobina Cattanach
Born: Kingussie
Occupation: Governor of Poor House
Location: Lewis Combination Poor House
In 1891 he was governor of the Combmaker Poor House in Lerwick, Shetland

Jacobina Cattanach (48)
Wife of above
Born: Glasgow
Occupation: Matron of Poor House
In 1891 she was matron of the Combmaker Poor House in Lerwick, Shetland

Jane A Gowans (34)
Visitor
Born: Pitlochry
Occupation: Former school mistress

Jane Anne Gowans died on 21 August 1915 at Pierce Central, British Columbia, Canada at the age of 48

Inmate Angus Maciver (40)
Born: Uig, Ross-shire
Occupation: Formerly shoemaker

Angus appears in the 1891 census as a shoemaker at Callanish, which is in the parish of Uig, Ross-shire. At the time, he is married to Christina. In the 1901 census, Christina is shown as remaining at 8 Callanish, a shoemaker’s wife, but the head of the household. She is looking after five young children: Donald (9), Neil (8), Maggie (6), Johanna (3) and John (1).

Armistice Day 2011

It is the 11th hour on 11th day, of the 11th month, of the 11th year. 93 years ago today, the guns fell silent on the Western Front, bringing to an end more than four years of carnage in the trenches and on the high seas.

Of the 6,200 men who enlisted from the Isle of Lewis in the First World War, more than 1,300 never returned. More than 200 of those perished on 1 January 1919 in the sinking of HMY Iolaire, which was returning island servicemen home after the war.

I am not certain how many people from the Isle of Lewis joined up in the Second World War, but about 450 perished between 1939 and 1945. The majority served in the Merchant Navy and Royal Navy.

A listing of the Fallen from the Isle of Lewis can be viewed on these two links:

First World War
Second World War

Tributes have been transcribed from the Stornoway Gazette for the years 1917 and 1918, as well as for the years 1939-1945. Further links to my local history (and particularly military history) research can be found on this page.

They went with songs to the battle, they were young.

Straight of limb, true of eyes, steady and aglow.

They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,

They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning,

We will remember them.

Emigrants for Australia - 1923

Nambour Chronicle, 2 November 1923, page 9

Typical Emigrants for Australia
ISLAND EXODUS CONTINUES
(From a Home Correspondent)
Stornoway is still pouring forth contingent upon contingent of hardy Hebrideans to the distant lands across the seas. The port was the scene of tremendous bustle last weekend, when a large party of Lewis emigrants set out for London on the first part of the long journey to Australia.

At the quayside they were given a rousing farewell. The people of the Lewis have grown accustomed to the departure of their fellow islanders in search of that which has been denied them in the land of their birth but there were evidences on all sides of suppressed emotion on the part of aged parents and brothers and sisters.

They comprised of 99 men, women and children, ranging in age from 60 years to six months, and included several families, all of whom it is proposed to settle on the land near Perth, Western Australia. The single men hope to get employment on sheep ranches in Victoria.

FATHER OF ELEVEN
The outstanding personality of the party was a crofter-fisherman, Mr Frank Mackinnon, the father of 11 children, who, with his wife and family, left the Lochs district of Lewis on the previous Tuesday morning for their journey to London, and thence to the great Southern Commonwealth.

Speaking of his decision to emigrate, this man said that he had lost patience, waiting for a small-holding, and had made up his mind that the only opportunity open to him was to try his fortune in a new land.

The contingent left London by the SS Bendigo from Tilbury. They were all entertained to breakfast by Sir William Mitchell Cotts, MP for the Western Isles, who also received them on their embarkation on board the SS Bendigo in the afternoon, accompanied by Mr White, branch manager of the P and O company.

All the men are ex-soldiers or ex-sailors with war service, but none of their families had ever seen a railway train or a great liner. Every one of the men is a teetotaller. Physically, they are a splendid sample of Hebridean manhood.

They are, indeed, hardy, hardy folk these islanders. Many have signed up for Australia, and another party will be despatched at an early date. Mr Murdo Maclean of Stornoway, the official agent for the Government of Australia, conducted the immigrants to London.

Point lads remembered

These two men, one from Aird, the other from Portvoller, are (to the best of my knowledge) not remembered on the local Roll of Honour or on the memorials at Garrabost or Stornoway. I happened across Murdo Mackenzie through a search for the age at death for Norman; the two are mentioned on the same "service return" from the General Registry Office of Scotland.

Norman's age at death is listed as Unknown on the CWGC website, but the GROS file shows it to be 38.

Service number: 14327301
Date of death: 8 August 1944 at the age of 20
Interred: Banneville-la-Campagne War Cemetery, grave V. B. 2

Norman is not mentioned in the Roll of Honour Ness to Bernera, or on the North Lewis War Memorial at Cross.  His name surfaced in a tribute in the Stornoway Gazette of 1 September 1944, which I reproduce below.

On August 19th, the sad news was received by Mr Angus Mackenzie (Aonghais Fhionnlaidh), 51 Back Street, Habost, that his second eldest son, Pte Norman Mackenzie, Seaforth Highlanders, has been killed in action in Normandy. Norman was a bright young lad of a little over 20 years of age. He was employed on work of national importance until he was called to a still more important task in the fight for freedom, in which he was now given his precious and promising young life. Our heartfelt sympathy is with his sorrowing father and mother and the rest of the family, of whom two others are serving their country.
