We have found a birth certificate but have been unable to find any information about Ann Ross his mother. His father Duncan McAulay came from Islay and we believe we have record of William staying with a Margaret McAulay ( possibly an Aunt ) at Jamieson Street (1881 census). We also believe he moved to Islay at the age of 2 years and after Schooling, worked  in Islay taking peat to a distillery. He subsequently left Islay and married my Grandmother Euphemia Macdonald in Kilmacolm. > If anyone has any further information about any of the above we would be delighted to hear from them. > Fay Lyons.
