Sorry Andy. It seems I mis-read the information (new to this stuff). This could be it! Do I read this correctly by assuming all on this with the same alias of siblings (same parents)? In other words the alias Balnaceil is another family? Also I haven't been able to locate Sartigrim. Do you know where that is by any chance? The same alias seems to be from different locations (Sartigrim, Sangobeg and Cnocbreac). Am I correct there. Really appreciate your help. I hit the perverbable brick wall a few months ago.

Andy thanks for the reply. Unfortunately the dates don't match. Would you have any information on Donald McKay (or MacKay) born about 1799 who apparently emigrated from the Isle of Muck to East Lake Ainslie, Cape Breton (now part of Nova Scotia) about 1824. He married Jessie MacDonald of the Isle of Mull, daughter of Alexander MacDonald and Mary McLean who also emigrated to Capr Breton. Any help is most appreciated. Thanks, Gord

I have a copy of the parish register for Durness for Baptisms and Marriages from 1764-1814. If anyone would like me to do a lookup I would be more than happy to.

All the best

Andy

My gg grandfather Donald Mckay (b about 1799) emigrated from the Isle of Muck to Lake Ainslie Nova Scotia about 1824. He married Jessie MacDonald, b about 1807. We belkieve his father may have been John McKay of Durness who married Mary Campbell. I have all the ancestry from Donald to the present. Do you think you could help?
