Kincardineshire / Re: Help looking for Family Descendants of Lifeboatman James McBay Johnshaven
« on: Sunday 07 December 14 21:41 GMT (UK) »It has been very interesting to read the contributions to this post. I have some McBay's in my family and wonder what connections there might be with the McBays mentioned. My Great Grandmother was born Margaret Jane McBay in 1882 at Catterline. Her father was James Hamilton McBay, married to Fanny Stephen, and her Grandfather was Alexander McBay, married to Marianne or Mary Anne Pike. James Hamilton was born in Freswick, Caithness and Alexander was a Coastguard. The Coastguard at Catterline in 1841 was James McBay, but I don't know what connection he has to my family although location and occupation make this likely.Hi Heather, I am currently building my ancestry tree and the above people are related to me. Your great gran Margaret Jane McBay is sister to my gran Mary Ann McBay. It would be nice to link up and share ancestry information. Your thoughts welcome, regards Sheila
