112957: John Munro
John, born 1836, was the son of Alexander Munro and Marion Martin of Ruisgarry. During the 1840s, with re-organisation of Ruisgarry’s small crofts into larger ones, the family were moved to Borve. The ruins of their house, Tobhta Alasdair ‘ic Anndaidh, are still evident.
However, in 1854 the crofts were taken for Borve Farm, and the family moved to Arnish, Lewis, later living at 20 Branahuie. John married Isabella MacKay of Sutherland. They made their home at 8 Holm.
