Hi Scourie

This is the only marriage record for those names coming up in the

Dornoch are 28/12/1791 MACKAY JOHN WEMYSS /MATHESON PAGE129 M Dornoch (Sutherland) /SUTHERLAND 047/ 0010 0131

You can view it at Scotland's People but as it is an OPR record it's unlikely their parents names will be onit.

There are also 3 possible deaths recorded post 1855 on Scotland';s People for Dornoch. These all have a maiden name Matheson and it will show if married to a John Mackay as well as giving parents names.

You can do a similar search for John if you think he died 1855 or later.

Happy hunting

Ann
