[nick.b]

yes thats right. did you have them already?

[Roecoyle]

No i just had them down to Catherine md george Gordon 1901
Catherine died in 1916.
I think i might have a bunch of papers some place with some
possible births for Catherine? but i`m not sure ,so many ifs.
when i get time i`ll go through them and see if i can find anything
else directly related to her.
What year was Alex McGee born,

[nick.b]

alexander mcgee mckay was born 1st nov 1893. interested inwhere the name mcgee comes from. do you have any further back than angus and catherine? 

[Roecoyle]

No sorry thats as far back as ive been able to get so far, but there are many ,many
branches to this tree as you have prob realised. I have a lot of info on the branches,
i keep branching out all over the place lol. I don`t recall the name McGee but it is most
probable that McGee was Alex fathers surname as was often the case if the mother
was unmarried. Its not a name within the family that i have found so far.

My great grand father William McKay who (md Ann Riach) and
your great great great grand father David McKay who(md Jane Logie)
were brothers.

prue  are you from the same mckay's as roecoyle?

Hi Nick
No, I don't think so (at least in as much as all us McKays are related somehow).
Cheers

I have some McKay/Mackay ancestors I'd like to trace. I don't have much information on them though..

Hugh Mackay was born about 1760 and married Margaret ? They lived in Durness, Sutherland and had six sons.
John was born about 1807 and married Janet Gardiner. He was killed on the North West Frontier around 1840-2.
George was born in 1809 and married Anne Munro. He died in Australia in 1868.
Louis went to North America and we nothing else about him.
Don't know anything about the other three brothers.

I would appreciate a note if you come across them in your searches.
