Still haven't been able to prove parentage of William/John McKay (other than marriage gives father's name) but have constucted a lovely tree for a McKay family which hopefully will be of use.

Well you know the old saying. If at first you don't succeed try putting your tree up on ancestry and just make up the missing parts... hehe.

But serious you have done so much. I am really very chuffed to have all the bits and bobs you have found. I mean I know it not proved YET. But his name on wedding cert, plus son born Glenarm and he's a farmer. I think that's him. I will prove it eventually. Especially now I have so much more info to work with. Something always turns up, even if it's years later. Plus all the other McKays you have found. Lots to work with there

The map is interesting, and the other links. It's all VERY helpful. Thanks again aghadowey. I hope I haven't taken up too much of your time. I suspect I have. You're a star!
