Hello Kat,
Can you confirm for me that these are your MacNeils?
Which one would be your grandmother?
What do you mean by "when the information on his parents is not"? Are you suggesting that I have Malcolm's parents' information incorrect? What records are you basing this on?
Most, but not all, of the MacNeils of Cape Breton (and almost all of the Catholic families) were from Barra.All of the MacNeils who settled in the Iona - Grand Narrows areas were from Barra.
I believe that your Malcolm MacNeil married Ann MacNeil on 18 Feb 1865 at St. Barra's Catholic Church in Christmas Island, Cape Breton (which is near Grand Narrows).
The Malcolm who was the father of this Neil was likely born in the Iona, Cape Breton area about 1839. Also, Copper's Pond is in the Grand Narrows area. I'm not sure you will find Cooper's Pond on a map because it is a tiny place. Grand Narrows would be the largest nearby location. This is where her family was supposed to have settled so I can't say she was born there for sure but she was likely from there. The vitals have lots of discrepancies in them.There are variations in the places of birth and ages from one census return to the next.
