I'd like to fill in some blanks in my McKay family tree. Ruth Havens (b. 1831, Shediac, New Brunswick; d. 1907, Stratford, Ont.) married James McKay (Dornock). Had 4 children: 1. Catherine McKay (m. James Priestly, 1882), 2. Samuel G. McKay (m. Charity Ann Meadows, d. 1920, Ailsa Craig, Ontario), 3. Susan Ann McKay (b. 1850, m. William Arthur Brown in West Zorra, d. 1950, Ailsa Craig) 4. John Havens McKay (b. abt 1854, West Zorra) Ruth then married William McKay (Dornock, supposedly James brother). William was born 1832, and died 1909 in Stratford, Ont. 4 children. 1. Ruth McKay (b. 1865, m. David Wilton) 2. Willena (Willemena?) McKay (b. 1867, m. William Martin) 3. Andrew Alexander McKay (b. 1869, m. 1896 to Edith Mary Baumgartener) 4. Marion McKay (b. 1871 West Zorra, m. Robert Thompson, d. 1967, Vancouver). Christine Stokes kindly sent me information indicating that James and William could be brothers, sons of John MacKay and Merran MacKay of Dornock. They had a James, born 1820 and a William born 1832, with additional sisters and brothers, especially John and Andrew. We had heard that John and Andrew came to Canada with William, but census information provided by Christine seems to indicate that William and John left the area before Andrew. I am trying to determine where and when James McKay and Ruth Havens married. And what happened to James that allowed Ruth to marry his brother William. Also, when and on what ship(s) James and William arrived in Canada. David Anderson Hopewell, NJ
