Title: R. G. Mackay
Post by: Wilmac on Thursday 14 October 10 22:48 BST (UK)

Hello.  I wonder if anyone can help me regarding a relation Roderick Grant Mackay and ancestors . I only have the date of marriage which is 2nd. January, 1936 at Dundee. He married Catherine Miller  Robbie of Perth. I would be really grateful if anyone could help me with this.  I think his mother came from the Isle of Skye and her maiden name was Grant.

1936 is too recent for the marriage to be viewed on Scotland's People website but you can order the cetificate from the site-
