45533: Margaret Macritchie
Peigi Iain Dhòmhnaill
Margaret (born 1916) was the daughter of John Macritchie and Margaret Macleod, Winnipeg. Her parents had emigrated from Lewis and both she and her brother were born there. A legacy of this was a distinctive American twang when they spoke Gaelic.
The family returned to the UK, arriving at Greenock on the SS Duchess of Bedford on June 22, 1934 and settled at 5 Garynahine. Her father died in 1963 and in the late 1960s the family moved to the maternal croft at 1 Crulivig.
Margaret, who was unmarried, spent the last few years of her life in Crulivig.
