Re: McKays in Moray
Thank you all.
William’s 1903 death record confirms my work from 2016 pointing to Alexander McKay / Mackay and Margaret Simpson being my 4th great grandparents. All I have been able to find on them

Re: McKays in Moray
YES. I have ancestors whose names were spelled several different ways within a quite short time frame. So many ways for that to happen. Did the person writing it come from that area or from far away?

We’re going to need more credits. That’s a Jaws joke, which may not translate outside the US.
Thank you both so much. The inclusion of the Mackay spelling is really opening things up. I appear to

Re: McKays in Moray
Hi Anne
I can see that you are clearly better at all of this than I am. At this point I am 1 for 4.
When I search SP for William McKay deaths the closest I get is an 83 yr old in 1903, in Marnoch.

PS Elizabeth Cooper McKay, aged 78, died in Inverness in 1935. If her death was registered by a relative, it might provide a clue to where her siblings went.
