Family of James and Barbara Mackay (nee Duchart)
« on: Sunday 20 July 14 13:45 BST (UK) »
Hello Canada
 Can anyone help with any information about James(1889) and Barbara Mackay(1898) they emigrated from Caithness in Scotland, sailing on the Saturnia on 21st April 1920 from Glasgow bound for Quebec. They  settled in Ontario.   Last known address was 60 Igslington N, Islington ,Ontario. This probably would be 1960's. Both James and Barbara will be deceased now. I would love to find out deaths and if they had family.
thank you  :)

Thank you so much for this info. I could not find out if they had any family. I presume they both died in Canada.

There is a Mrs Barbara Mackay there in the 1974 Canada Votors Lists

I was a little suspicious of that record  -  Also living at that address 22 Weybridge Court are a Male Mackay - Insurance Agent and a male student Mackay  ???

In 1972 just the male Mackay (insurance agent - no student listed - obviously not of age.)

It looks as if the son married - Berys Evelyn Brown
Born July 5, 1923 in  Quebec, Quebec, Canada  and died May 24, 2002 in  Toronto, Ontario, Canada. So perhaps the owner of that tree is the daughter of that marriage.  ???

Looks like Gavin (Insurance Agent) and Barbara Mackay were on Voters Lists in 1957/59 at Cuffley Crescent York Ontario -
In the original post it looks as if Barbara and James were living at 60 Islington N, Islington ,Ontario in the 1960's  ???
