Hi Wozzle and Sofee
There are a couple of possibilities I see for Jessie in 1891 (born Strathy). One is living as a ward (perhaps with grandparents or other relatives)
1891 ED 4 page 4 Strathy West Sutherland
John Mackay 59 head crofter Strathy, Sutherland
Janet Mackay 59 wife Crofter wife Strathy, Sutherland
Christina MacKay 84 BI? formerly dress maker Strathy Sutherland
Jessie Mackay 6 ward dom Scholar Strathy West
The other is listed as Jamesina jessie Mackay, aged 5, parents are George and Alexanderina - not quite a match

Hi trish & wozzle
thanks very much to the both of you for trying to help....
Trish ...yes both of your posts are my family...my grandad [I have a fair bit of information on this side of the Mackays.]is the William aged 14 here but it is his wife Jessie's family.. I'm looking for ......her father was also a William Mackay mother Alexanderina Grant?
wozzel I too have found this information, thanks but don't think its who I'm looking for although have put this information to one side incase...when Jessie died her youngest son went to live with her 'sister & her husband I think...they lived in Bettyhill and had the name Bannerman.....
appreciate both of your help so far if theres any further information on Jessie's family I'd love to hear...thanks again

Hi Sofee
From your last notes ...they lived in Bettyhill and had the name Bannerman.....
There is this marriage on SP:
1928 BANNERMAN WILLIAM DONALD MACKAY ALEXANDERINA DORNOCH /SUTHERLAND 047/00 0008
If I'm correct, Bettyhill is in Sutherland isn't it? So following Jessie's death in 1929, I wonder if this is the sister and husband Bannerman that youngest son went to live with.
From the cert. this Alexenderina shows as single age 49, so born 1879 which looks a good range to be a sister to your Jessie. Father on the MC shows as William Mackay and mother as Alexenderina Grant sorry MURRAY*, both deceased. Father William shows as landholder. This can often read for farmer, crofter etc. Also not uncommon in those times and parts, for men to combine their work between fishing and the land.
Regards.
Monica 
* Sorry Sofee, slip of the fingers or wishfull thinking on my part

There is this family in 1891 (not sure as yet if it connects with the family above) but interesting given what info you have. Everyone showing as born in Strathy:
William McKay 55, fisherman
Alexanderina McKay 52
Williamina McKay 18
Hugh McKay 16
John McKay 12
James McKay 10
Janet McKay 8
Address: Strathy Pt:, Farr Sutherland
I'm sure you know this, but just to note that Jessie and Janet are interchangeable in Scotland.
Regards.
Monica
