Hi Lorraine Thank you for this information! Maybe some of these people, will lead me to the reason Isabella and her father were in Urray. My grandfather,s family showed up on the 1891 census for Urray, before that they were in Fearn,ROC. Thanks to some nice people on this mailing list, I have now got some information on Andrews ancestor,s, including his grandparents and g.grandparents. I do have Andrews birth certificate, unfortunetaly there is no mention of a father. I have also wondered if Andrew was a home child, he rarely talked about is mother but when he did , it was not nice. I did contact the Quarrier Home, they did have a Andrew MacKay but he did not match the information I gave them. I do not know if there were any other homes in Scotland that sent children to other countries. Unfortunetaly until the 1901 census comes out, I will not be able to track his families movement and to see who he was living with at the time, my grandfather always said he came from Inverness. Thank you again for this information, I have wondered why Andrew's mother, Isabella b.1863 in Fearn and her father Andrew b.1832 in Kilmuir Easter, left Fearn after around 40 years there.
