A Frederick Hugh Mackay was born in Launceston Tas 5tb May 1835. His parents were Hugh Rose Mackay and Martha Kinnleside Kirton. He died in Kew Victoria in 1883 reg 2057. His death registration names his parents again as Martha Kerton and Hugh Rose Mackay. His wife is Annie Hislop and he was 46 years old.

Death notice in the Launceston Examiner 13th March 1883: On 1st March at Kew, Victoria, husband of Annie aged 46.

Frederick Hugh Mackay was 1 of at least 6 children all born Tasmania. He had a sister Laura Eliza as well, born 17th April 1839 in Launceston,Tasmania

His father Hugh and brother Stewart appear to have been successful businessmen, and the whole family, kids and all, travelled extensively.

The father Hugh Rose Mackay died in Victoria 1890, in his 80's.

Need to follow up what children Frederick Hugh Mackay and Annie Hislop had, but I'm thinking the person who married John Cameron could be their daughter

Frederick Hugh McKay who married Anna Hislop in Victoria in 1860, appears to have had only 1 daughter who died at just 21 days old in 1864.

 Was a witness named on the marriage certificate? This Frederick died 1883, so not him.

What other details were on this certificate? Everything is important no matter how trifle ot seems!

According to NAA records and enlistment papers 1916 of Archibald Cameron, son of John Cameron, his mother had died of sickness but no death date given. Of course this could be just an excuse to cover up she had left them!

I thought Frederick McKay was born in 04 Oct 1834 • Launceston, Tasmania, Australia his father was died in 1859 • Victoria
Frederick Marriage to Mary Jane Robert  had 9 children

His parent Thomas Gilham  born ABT. 1802 • England Mary Thomas Hill McCoy  was Passenger on Duke of Portland 1807

Yes the Frederick McKay you are interested in was born 1834 to John McCoy and Mary Thomas. There is also Frederick Hugh Mckay who was born Launceston in 1835 to Hugh Rose McKay and Martha.

I mentioned the one born 1835 because I thought he might be the father mentioned on the wedding certificate of Lola McKay to John Cameron.

I have all the details of Lola McKay and Arthur Smart's children. Can we confirm in any way this was her second marriage?

Supposedly her first marriage was to John Cameron. I am yet to see this marriage certificate. However the Army Service records of one of their sons Archibald Cameron in 1916, states his mother had died. No date mentioned and no death record found to support this statement.

So I am questioning whether there are two Lola McKays - one with a father named Frederick Hugh McKay, the other with a father named Frederick William McKay!

Thankyou Sue for Florence Smarts birth certificate details.

Does anyone have the details that would be on John Cameron/ Lola Smart marriage Certificate?  Surely that would confirm where she is from and who her father was.
