Hi Angi, I have not followed-up my MacKay ancestors, mainly because Durness is in "MacKay country" and distinguishing between MacKays with the same christian name seemed a daunting task. However, my gg grandmother was Henrietta (Henny) MacKay b.1824 to John MacKay and Flora ?? (probably Flora Sutherland, who had a daughter Henny McKay on Jan 14, 1824. Siblings: Christian c. 16 Sept 1819 and Isobell c. 20 August 1821. John and Flora married June 2, 1815 in Durness.) My Henny MacKay married Donald Morrison in Durness, September 24, 1843 and they are buried at Balnakeil. By 1891, they were living on a croft at Lerin, where my cousin now lives.

Dear Ian, I see what you mean having transcribed a fair bit of the census: out of 417, top surnames are MacKay 111, Morrison 39, Campbell 34, Sutherland 29, Munro 22, McDonald 21, McLeod 21, Swanson 16, Gunn 14, Levy 10, McIntosh 10 I've transcribed Sangobeg, Lerin, Smoo, Sangomore, Achins, Glebe, Balnakiel, Balvoolich. Durine is to come and I probably end up doing the whole parish in an attempt to sort out my MacKays and Sutherlands.

Hi everyone I am interested in the McKay/Sutherland families as well. Am trying to locate an Alexander McKay in the older age range i.e. 43-53 years. If I collect all around this age then perhaps with some deduction I can identify my family.
