Hi Neil
On rereading the marriage banns it says that they were in Brims Parish Thurso. This is my brick wall ... I have never been able to find them. I suspect that Cursty/Christian/Cristy was dead by the 1841 census but she wasn't mentioned as deceased on their daughter's banns in South Ronaldsay & Burray 3 Dec 1840. I have no idea how many children there were and have never been able to find their daughters birth either.
Thank you for looking Neil, I'm sorry for wasting your time.
Kind regards
Joy

Hi Neil
Thanks for your interest in my brick/cement wall  I didn't realise that Brims was a farm the Banns just said ' farmer Brims Parish Thurso'. I knew there was a ruined castle there but thAT'S all.
Ann Mckay ( suspect real name was Mary Ann - it's like that on kids marriage certs) daughter of Angus McKay and Cursty McKay, married Thomas Anderson son of Thomas Anderson and Elspet Peter who was born 1820 in Cromarty R&C. No problem with the Anderson side.
The marriage took place 3 Dec 1840 in SR&B.
I have long suspected that there was some familial link between other McKay families in SR&B and Ann but have never been able to prove it. Ann consistently gave her place of birth as Farr Sutherland in all the census returns. Whether that means Farr Parish or Farr village I have no way of knowing. Thomas and Ann's first two children were born in Farr Sutherland as well though Thomas and Ann were there in SR&B for the 1841 census. The first child Hugh died in SR&B 1858 aged 17 yrs. So no naming pattern there 
I have never been able to locate a birth for Mary Ann/ Ann in Sutherland. Of course trying to navigate through all the McKays is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I strongly suspect that Cursty's m/surname was McKay but again have no way of knowing.
So there you have it Neil - I bet you're sorry you asked
Joy
