I've not been able to find the birth/baptism of my great grandmother, Flora MCINTYRE, nor the marriage of her parents, Malcolm MCINTYRE and Ann MCKINNON. According to the 1891 Census, Flora was age 31, born in Barra, Invernessshire. She married John CUMMINGS in Glasgow, 27 Jan 1882. She was a domestic servant, age 22 and her parents were deceased. On her death certificate, 12 Mar 1910, John said her mother's name was Annie MCINNES but her named was recorded as MCKINNON on the marriage certificate. They had 3 sons, John MCINTOSH, Daniel MCINTYRE & Malcolm M. and 2 daughters, Margaret WALLACE (John's mother's maiden name) & Nan. I assume John was named after his father, Daniel after his father's father & Malcolm after Ann's father. I've searched the OPR and civil registration and have also tried scotlandspeople but with no luck. Does anyone have any ideas on how I might find Flora's birth or the marriage of her parents?

Hi Karen, Scotland's People sadly differentiate between Mac & Mc. Have you tried both?
