Hi Andy

Thank you for looking, but I suspected as much.

Yes, the William Kay, living in Denny, Stirlingshire,  with daughters Catherine and Elizabeth in the 1851 Census is mine.  Wife Margaret is likely dead by that time. 
William Kay, his wife, Margaret Watson, with their daughters Catherine and Elizabeth are there in the 1841 Census for Denny, along with married daughter Margaret Kay McDonald and granddaughter Christen, who were visiting. Margaret McDonald is my direct ancestor.

There are no MI's for William Kay or Margaret Watson Kay for Denny, Stirlingshire.   :(They probably weren't rich enough to afford any kind of monument.

How I wish that deaths were recorded prior to 1855!

Thanks again for taking the time out to look them up for me.

Maple
Have you looked up these folk under the name Keay, rather than Kay/Key?
That's a pretty common spelling of the name in Perthshire & Fifeshire - my branch were from Perth, then Comrie.

Regards, Lisa (nee Keay!)

Hi Lisa

That is a great idea.  :) I never thought to look them up under Keay.  I will try looking them up under that name.  I have nothing to lose.  They might also have gone to Fifeshire too! 

Thank you for your interest.

How about contacting the Tay Valley Family History Society for a small consideration they'd do a look up for you if your not local to Dundee and can't get there readily.
You might also try the AK Bell library in Perth I've always found them very helpful and have a good genealogy section.

Hi Ormazda,

Thank you for your interest.  I am living in California and have to do all of my genealogical research long distance.  I will look up these two groups and see if they can be reached online.

Thanks again :)

Hi Oramazda

Thank you for those links.  I just checked out the Tay Valley site and they said that they will be going online shortly. ;D

Thanks again
