Just a thought. The Walthew family were often Catholics. It may be you need to look in RC records

Sutherland / Re: MACKAY/MCKAY Family at Dornoch and Assynt

Hi Dee
It is my experience that most people who emigrated usually had some family connection to encourage their move. In the case of your Mackay moving to South Africa, she may have been following family. Perhaps the Boer war soldiers and setitles.
If you know where she settled I may be able find a link to the Porters

Hi Catherine McCain
I had an idea that David Mackay may have been the solo flyer to South Africa in the early part of the 20th century. However he is almost certainly too old to be him.
have previously registered on rootschat as "EDWARD" BUT have no recollection of the password and that email is now defunct. But have a look at the more detailed posting earlier.

Hi Chris
I have posted previously.
But have lost the ealien email aND hAve had to reregister
A quick review for anyone trying to contact me is below.
Alex porter and Mary Mackay emigrated to south Africa with their children. another son was born in the eastern cape. His daughter Mary Porter married Fenning Norman Kidson and was my wife's grandmother. Several of her children are still alive and are scattered from New Zealand to Canada.
Family tradition is that her cousin, a Mackay was one of the early aviators to fly from Britain to South Africa.
Another of Alex and Mary's descendants is Don Porter probably in his seventies now. I think he is a member of the Aberdeen FHS.
I have always wondered what brought a carpenter from Culsalmond to Rogard in the 1850s. I suspect they may have been family through the Nicholsons of Assynt.
Would you have any information in regard to these Nicholsons in the Mackay family
Edward
