Sutherland / Re: Durness Parish Register - Part 2

Hi Ian, I reluctantly agree with you!(reluctantly because I'm a little bit lazy) I didn't see any documentation, although some things would say something like, "confirmed with joe Smith" So I will keep the info that concurs with my own. I think the next step is to reach out to Nova Scotia and Pei, and trace back that way. I really value your input, Ian, so thanks.

Great questions, Ian. I just got ahold of my Aunt's research, and realized that George MacKay was married 3/28/1809 not died then. He actually died in 1876. His wife, Elspeth Elizabeth was born 1790  My Aunt wrote:

 Born about 1790, and married in Eddrachilles, Sutherlandshire, Scotland around 1815, to Elizabeth Sutherland. Family came to Shelburne Nova Scotia, about 1836 later to Gladstone, PEI.
 This was confirmed by someone in Canada.
 She never got further up the tree than these 2 on the MacKay side.
On the Sutherland side Elspeth's parents were John Sutherland (born1741) and Christy (born 1745) in Goldspie, Sutherland. They were married 7/15/1766. My Aunt is way smarter than I am, so I am adjusting what I need to. This is so interesting, I am becoming glued to my computer!

IanB, that post was from my Aunt, who has since passed away. I am trying to pick up the trail that she left!

Thanks DJCT, for your help. Hugh's dad was George.( Mom was Elizabeth Sutherland) I am trying to check out the Durness records for when George had Hugh, but my eyes got tired!!!!George was born in Durness area, and moved to Nova Scotia. I'm starting to doubt myself!!!

If John and Margaret Sinclair are George's parents, then I need to reeval the info I have on George. I have him as passing away 1809, but his son (Hugh Morrison Mackay) was born in 1839. George moved to Nova Scotia then eventually Prince Edward Island.
 I feel like this is confusing for me, and I really appreciate your patience. You all are way more experienced at this, so I am grateful for all you assistance.

Thanks so much for your prompt response!! Here's what I know for sure... My GG  is Elizabeth Adelaide MacKay (1867-1938) who came to USA from Prince Edward Island. Her parents, I'm pretty sure were Hugh and Mary (MacLeod)MacKay ( some list Mary as a MacCoy). I found George and Elspeth Elizabeth Sutherland on Hugh's tree. George emigrated from Scotland to Nova Scotia. His DOB is listed roughly as 1788.( Death, as I said earlier was3/26/1809) Elspeth I have from Dorroch Sutherlandshire. Her parents were John Sutherland B 1741 and Christy(?) B 1745. Am I throwing too much at you??? I think I lose trail after George
