Hi Everyone I thought since I had been off list for the last three months, I should re Introduce myself. My name is Robin, my surnames include Cameron,Gibson,MacKay/McKay and Munro. The ancestors that are my brickwalls are, my g.g.g.grandfather William MacKay b. circa 1805 in Edderton and another g.g.g.grandfather Donald Gibson b.circa 1788 possibly in ROC. He is actually reported to be born in Sutherland, but I have found no Donald Gibson born there in that time period. There is a Donald Gibson b.1787 in Cromarty, parents are Donald Gibson and Ann McCrae, I think this could be the Donald I am looking for. My major brickwall is finding siblings and a father for, my grandfather Andrew MacKay. Andrew was born July 1 1891 in Balnain,Urray to Isabella MacKay, he left Scotland in approx:1903, I have know idea what happened to his mother after that.

Hi Robin: I don't know if this will help you with your Andrew MacKay but these are all the MacKay's on the 1881 Census in Urray. There were no Isabella's but I have also attached the full family for 2 Bella's. As he was only age 12, could he have left Scotland as a Home Child. Have you ordered his Birth Cert and does it have a fathers name. Hope some of this helps. Good Luck Lorraine Ottawa, Canada MACKAY, Margt.
