Hello 'hume24',

Well done - I'm quite happy that you found her.
I note her age in 1896 is 72 years suggesting 1824 birth year. So her own son managed to get her age wrong by about 10 years which today seems barely credible.
My search was 1814 +/- 5 years and I thought I was being overcautious even at that.
A leason learned.

Indeed, 10 years is quite a difference!  ;D Linda, you'll need to remember when searching for her in 1881 and 1891, who knows what age she'll be then!

I have found a possible in 1881 Johan McKay age 65 b abt 1816 living on her own in the Bonar district, born Tain which is same as in 1871 - nothing in 1891 yet, but as you say the age might be confusing me!
