Good Morning from Australia. I have a great great great grandmother who was baptized on the 8 February 1792 in the Port of Monteith. She lived all her live in Callander, but on her death certificate she mentioned the parents names. I have never been able to find a marriage of her parents. Duncan Mackay and Catherine Macarthur. Duncan McKay was an auctioneer apparently. I have never found him in a census. Catherine McKay baptized in 1792 mentions on all her census she was born in Perthshire, but I was very lucky to notice on one she said Dunkell or what it looked like. I have found an entry on the IGI of a Catherine being baptized 8 February 1792 in Port of Monteith. She seems to be the only child with those parents there. Has anyone this family on their tree, or know of them at all? Or is there anyone that has the OPR to look up the original entry and let me know what it says. I can order the film thorough he LDS but that could take months to come now. I would be so grateful for any information. Carol
Carol, Have you tried Scotland's People? It's a pay site, but at $2 for the equivalent of a certificate, it's as cheap as you're ever going to get. If Catherine was born 1792, her parents were born around 1770. So they would be around age 70, or more than likely deceased by 1841 which is the earliest census. As Duncan was an auctioneer, I would also recommend looking on the Scotland's People site for Wills and inventories. Peter in Sydney
