Lanarkshire / Re: parish records.......McKay
« on: Sunday 30 September 12 18:26 BST (UK) »
Hi Monica...thankyou so much for the information....ok...the confusion had arisen from my parents marriage certificate, we felt that there were some made up info there, as it stated my grandamother being 21 at that time, and after finding her birth details, it turns out she was only 16 at the time of the marriage. We also found out, that my grandafather had been in Borstal, Kent, so my grandmother must have kept in touch with him....hence, the marriage there. We also wondered how she could have met my grandfather, who was supposedly living in scotland, because my grandmother lived in Wales, then after much more research, my son found out that a family of McKays had lived behind my grandmother, so it seemed more likely, that that was the right family. Also, in recent times, I met up with some very distant relatives, who told me that my grandfather was a boxer in cardiff, so he was obviously living there, and we know that he was a boxer, from his navy record. ...so...the details have now confirmed what my son has just found...once again...thankyou so much...byeeeee

Hi there.....my son has gone back to the Ancestry site, and now firmly believes, thet the McKay family that lived in the street behind my grandmother in Cardiff, is the family we need to trace....so..Alexander Lennox Mckay would have been my great grandfather, whose wife was Janet Lennox........so...my grandfather, Lachlan, has other siblings.......Jane and William born in 1841.....Eupha(very unusual) born in 1843.......James born in 1849....Jessie born in 1849.....Lachlan born in 1851.....Alexander lennox born in 1860...Lilios Ruth born in 1860....Hugh Charles born in 1864.......my gret great grandfather, Lachlan was born about 1817 in Barony Lanarkshire.............maybe I need to look at the Census's now..........thanks for your help.....

Hi...thankyou.....I only have my grandparents marriage certificate, they were married in Kent...we've searched that out...my grandfather was in the Royal Navy in the 1914-18 war, and he did jump ship when my father was 4 months old, hence my father didnt really know anything about him. We have contacted the MOD, and had a lot of information about him, even his birthdate, but no home address, or birth certificate. My son has travelled to Kent, to search out military information, but still no birth certificate, so we had more or less given up.

My grandfather, John Lachllan McKay, was born in Lanarkshire, in about 1893, his fathers name, was Hector, property owner. My son and I, have searched extensively over the last years, and we cannot find a birth certificate for my grandfather, we dont even know if he was an only child.........can anyone suggest anything for us? we even joined ancestry.com.
