82 Mackays in Zorra 1871 - gosh now we know where they all went. Does this census give place of birth? Does anyone know if it is available in full through LDS?

The entries are shown as mainly Presbyterian/Farmers. The oldest were two ladies, Mayan & Jane, both 84/b. Scotland. There was no Christian but (1) Christena 65/b. Scotland and (2) Christy 48/b. Scotland. One Neil shown as a farm lab./45/b. Scotland. The oldest Alexander was 78/b. Scotland and the youngest was 21/b. Ontario. There were two Johns - the elder was 52/b. Scotland and the younger was John Sutherland McKay/29/b. Ontario. Does this help - or just confuse the situation? BW Brenda T.
