I also have links to the Hay family from Cruden, in the 1881 census for Cruden
I have a large family of Hay's living in Whinnyfold, Cruden. Also in the 1891 census for Cruden I have my G. Grandfather James Hay and his wife Mary Ann Hay (summers) living at 121 Pleasant Cottage.

My great-grandmother was Catherine Hay (1867-1900), of Whinnyfold, Cruden Bay, daughter of Andrew Hay and Jane Finnie/Findlay.  She married Archibald MacDougall in Peterhead, 1891.

One of ten, she had a brother, James, born 1862. He disappears from the Whinnyfold household in the 1891 census, though a James Hay re-appears in that same census year at Pleasant Cottage.

It would be interesting to know if your great-grandfather is the brother of Catherine, and thus my great-great uncle.

Kind regards,

Alex
