I am looking for information on Henry Mackay (mckay) born in Daylesford VIC abt 1886. I have traced his wife's family back to the 1600's in Scotland but I  am interested in finding more on the Mackay side. If any one can look up Henry or his parents it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi tex,
I have found one that matches with the spelling McKay or MacKay. I hope that there isn't another spelling..
Death
Hy MacKay 1942, aged 54yrs, Colac, Vic.
Father Jno and Mother Elizth Harvey ..No......27182.

there are others that died with these as parents, as, well.

John MacKay        1945    64yrs,   Geelong.
Norman McKay     1961    66yrs,    Bund:Vic.
James McKay        1966    87yrs,   Mary:, Vic.
Alexander McKay  1970    85yrs,   Ment:, Vic.
Eliza Beasley         1952   70yrs    Geelong.
Wilhelmina Henry   1966   76yrs,   Geelong
Hannah El Hawkey 1970   76yrs,   Park:, Vic

With the above deaths, the Mother was listed as Eliza Harvey.

John McKay married Eliza Harvey 1876
John says he was born in Inverness.(presumably Scotland)
sadly it dosn't say where she was born.in the index.

Births..by the above parents.

William Henry McKay  1876 Linton, Vic. & died aged 1Mth.1876.
Sarah Ann McKay 1877 Linton.
James McKay 1879 Linton.
John McKay 1880 Linton
Eliza McKay 1883 Broomfield, Vic. (M) Richard Beasley 1905
Alexander McKay 1884 Allendale
Henry MacKay 1887 Allendale
Wilhelmina McKay 1889 Allendale
Norman McKay 1895 Allendale

I found a Death of an Eliza McKay, 1928, 71yrs, Bgurra:Vic.
Father was, William Harvey, & mother was Hannah Brown.

There are children born to this couple, but the birth for Eliz Harvey with the above parents, says 1867, which, it should be 1857.anyway, 1857 is the first record of their children being born, so maybe she was born the year before that, and the record is lost.
I couldn't find a marriage for them.
So I looked for any shipping, and found a William harvey 26yrs and Hannah Harvey 24yrs, entering Victoria, from Southampton, Jul 1854 aboard the Maria Hay.
This is highly spec, so tread carefully, and take this only as a guide.
Good luck,
kenjo
