Hi Malky

               Thanks for your help but Williams parents on Scotlands Peop in 1799 are David Stephen & Jean Kerr, on his death cert is James but no mothers name, dont think it is him. Have you ever got a geneoligist to help with your searching when you hit a brick wall and are they costly

Hi Cus
           I have only started the tree and went off like a rocket and then hit the William brick wall, it is a shame because i was doing so well , i am 53 and stay in Peterhead, looking at the tree most of our relations are or were scattered around Aberdeenshire Newhills, Skene, and quite a lot in the city its self.

                  regards Garry

I have been looking for my Great grandfather, Robert S. McKay for the better part of 60 years.  It is said he was born in Freaserburgh, October 13, 1813.  However, there is absolutely no record of Robert there.  Now his middle name was, according to his obituary, STEPHENSON. I am beginning to wonder if Robert may have been adopted or fostered out to a Stephen or Stephenson family.  According to his biography which he wrote he wrote for an OHIO USA County history he left Aberdeenshire around 1836 to go to Manchester,  England—I assume for work.  He was a stone mason and Manchester was in the middle of the industrial revolution, and building was a major occupation of masons.  In Manchester he married Emma Hurst/Hirst around 1845, and they had a child William Wallace McKay born 1845.  The only record I can find of this family in Manchester is William’s birth record.
Does anyone have any information on Robert Stephens?  I have found a James MacKay who married Elizabeth Stephen Oct 30, 1803 in Tyrie. I believe there is a family here somewhere, but I cannot prove it Does this story ring a bell with anyone? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
