Henry Lauder McKAY Jnr  was known as "Harry"
1st Steward in the Merchant service; retired by 1938
He married Thelma Mona L CRAKER in 1938, Amersham Buckinghamshire
Marriage certificate states Fathers name as:  Harry Lauder McKay, a Farmer (deceased)

Cheers

There is a Henry L McKay in the 1901 census aged 11 months

168/2 ed 13A page 3  119 Chapel Street Aberdeen

William Mckay head 27  baker b New Pitsligo Aberdeen
Minnie E "       wife  30             b Leeds
Samuel   "       son    3             b Aberdeen
William   "        son    3             b Aberdeen

From scotlands people it looks like William and Minnie married in Aberdeen

Is it possible that Henry made a mistake on his marriage cert

Hello Kathy
 Thank you for replying with census details i am not sure whats what
This is could be Harry at 11 months but on the marriage certificate he has stated that his father had the same name.
Did he mishear the question put to him by the registrar
kathy is there anymore information about this family does the name Lauder appear anywhere
Thank you kathy
Regards Macca

Hi, just wondering if you got any further with your search for
Henry L McKay. I noticed someone answered you with a 1901
census with a possible family / William, Minnie and family from Aberdeen, if this family is of interest to you i have some info on
them as William was my grandmothers brother.
The  L in Henry`s name stands for LEWIS.
Let me know if i can be of any help.
