Hi Roger thank you for contacting me, The origin of the name Is [anglicised] MACKINLAY, however one James "The Trooper" MACKINLAY, went to Ireland as a scout with the army of William of Orange, and was victorious at the battle of the Boyne, James married and remained in Northern Ireland The Irish spelling of the name is MCKINLEY and his descendants use that spelling to-day; one of James' descendants became the first un-married President of the U.S. Do you have the Death certificate of your John Henry? from that we might be able to guestimate his birth date, Not all of the MCKINLEY'S are of Irish descent The name was often mis-spelt by shipping clerk's etc and the MacGregors used that name during their time of their name being proscribed Don't hesitate to write again, Regards Malcolm ----- Original Message ----- From: "roger size" <rdsize2003@yahoo.com.au> To: <AUS-WA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, April 17, 2006 7:10 PM Subject: Re: [AUS-WA] Stewart, Buchanan, McKinlay > The WA branch of my family has the following McKinley > connections. > > John Henry McKinley b.....(not WA) > m.1900 (Perth, WA) > Annie Lucy Byfield b. 1881 in WA > > Children : Alice Maud McKinley b. 1900 in WA > Norm McKinley > Pearl McKinley > Edward John Henry McKinley b. 1902 in WA > Mabel May McKinley b. 1904 in WA > > Alice Maud McKinley married into one of the WA > families of PAULL......specifically a Francis Howard > PAULL. > > I'm not sure where John Henry McKinley was born, but > it doesn't appear to be in WA.
