McKinlay sisters, Isabella & Mary
« on: Thursday 23 July 15 05:38 BST (UK) »
Daughters of James McKinlay & Christina Aird.  Isabella Robertson McKinlay born in Hamilton Lanarkshire 1894, Mary Beveridge McKinlay born in Dalserf Lanarkshire 1899.

They both emigrated to Canada (I believe with assistance from the Salvation Army) in the 1920s.

I know Mary was living in Vancouver BC in 1929, probably not married as she was a witness at another sister's marriage (not Isabella) and gave her surname as McKinlay.

At least one of these ladies married, because I know she wrote to her sister in New Zealand, but I have no idea who either of them may have married.

This is a long shot....... but do I have any Canadian cousins out there?

Thankyou so much Ambly :)

I'm in touch with a 2nd cousin in NZ, grand-daughter of Mary's sister, she'll be happy with this information too.  These ladies are my grandfather's sisters.  Grandad and his brothers all stayed in Scotland, the girls all emigrated.

Re-visited older thread.....


This looks like the death certificate for Mary McKinlay who married John Williamson.

The address would appear to be the same as the Canada Voters List 1974 one.

2760 West 4 th Street. Apt 9.   Mary passed away 19 December 1975 -
