Hi I have some information in my work on a few of those on the list put up by Keith. I thought you would all be interested to read these references which are taken from my Families of Sutherland. Where there is no information after the date the people were cleared I think it is safe to say that they either emigrated or went away from Sutherland. If they do not appear on later census records they were not in the county. K160 ANDREW MACKAY married JANE MACKAY [1768-16/3/1850] [1791-21/2/1858] Andrew, a farmer, and Jane (Jean) were both in Achloan (Achlean), Dornoch, at the time of their wedding. Jane is the daughter of Alexander Mackay and Jane Matheson see K94/1. She and Andrew married in Dornoch on 16 February 1811 (OPR). They had the following children born in Balvraid, Dornoch (OPR): ALEXANDER, born 2 December 1811; HECTOR, born 28 December 1813; MARRON, born 11 June 1816 [died 24 April 1847]; WILLIAM, born 16 May 1819 [married Mary Mackay see K1705]; ANDREW, born 2 November 1821; ANGUS, born 10 January 1825 and his twin BARBARA [died 20 April 1859 Rhelochan her brother Hector signed death certificate]; HUGH, born 19 December 1828. By 1841 this family had moved to Rhelocan (Rhilochan), Rogart. At Rhilochan, Andrew was a tenant with 12 acres. In 1851 still at Rhilochan, Jane (Jean) was a widow, lotter of 12 acres. Her son Hugh was a Cartwright. This census confirms that Jane and her children were born in Dornoch. Jane died at Rhelochan in 1858. Her son, Hector, signed the death certificate. This family are buried in Rogart where son Hector erected a stone to his parents memory in 1860 (GY94/180&181). K155 ANDREW MACKAY married BARBARA ROSS [died 15/12/1826] Andrew in Proncy, Dornoch, married Barbara in Dornoch on 16 December 1796 (OPR). They had a daughter: ANN, born 8 March 1798 Proncy, Dornoch (OPR). Barbara Ross died at Poles, Dornoch in 1826 (OPR). A list of those cleared by the Duchess of Sutherland in June 1811 includes Andrew Mackay at Proncymain. (4/01) The following one looks like being Angus Mackay at Achavandra (Achavandrew) if it is then the Countess evicted a very old man! K191 ANGUS MACKAY married ANNA SUTHERLAND Angus and Anna had the following children: ANGUS, born 13 June 1738 Achivandra (Achavandra), Dornoch (OPR); DONALD, born 10 January 1740 Achivandra (OPR) and MARGARET, born 25 October 1745 Skelbo (OPR). (3/00) Is this David Mackay in Proncymain? K438 DAVID MACKAY married ISABELLA MACKAY David, a farmer, of Proncy, Dornoch, and Isabella (Isobel) of Dochfin, Dornoch, married in Dornoch on 25 December 1792 (OPR). They had the following children born Proncy (OPR): ALEXANDER, born 3 November 1793; HUGH, born 29 January 1796; HUGH, born 22 May 1797; MARGARET, born 19 December 1799; MARRION, born 21 July 1802; CHRISTY, born 9 May 1805 [died 30/11/1876] [married John Murray see K397/8] and DONALD, born 14 September 1808. Note, Hugh, born 1796 is difficult to read on the Old Parish Register and may not be a Hugh. (4/00) This is Lachlan Mackay at Balvraid. He actually found a way back to Balvraid to have a later child! K1251 LAUCHLAN MACKAY married BARBARA MURRAY [c1764-20/1/1847] [c1770-4/5/1860] Lauchlan (Lachlan) at Blackstones, Dornoch, would appear to be the son of Alexander Mackay see K010. Lauchlan married Barbara Murray, on 1 July 1790 in Dornoch (OPR). Barbara (Baby) at Cambusavie, is the daughter of Robert Murray and Barbara Munro - see Murray Families 6-010/1. Lauchlan and Barbara had the following children, born in Dornoch (OPR/IGI/NC): BARBARA, born 1794 [died 19 March 1864 Dornoch] [married George Murray - see K313/1] (DC); GIRZAL, born 1 August 1800 Balvraid; GEORGE, born circa 1800 [died 1 June 1866 Balvraid - bachelor] (DC); JANET, born 19 October 1802 Skelbo; ELSPAT, born 12 February 1805 Balvraid; ANNE, born 4 January 1807 Balvraid [died 16 January 1891 Balvraid] [married James Fraser see K280] (DC); ALEXANDER, born 25 April 1809 Balvraid; DAVID, born 16 December 1811 Skelbo and JANE, born 7 August 1814 Balvraid [died 23 October 1861 Scourie, Eddrachillis] [married Alexander Mackay see K94] (DC). The 1841 census shows Barbara at Balvraid, with her daughters Grace and Jean Mackay. Lauchlan died at Badninish in 1847 (OPR). Barbara died at Balvraid in 1860. Her son David signed the death certificate. (3/00) I have many more and will post them as time allows. DC= death certificate from GRO OPR = Old Parish Register I think the others are self explanatory but please ask if not. Christine --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
