Hi folks Ive a bit of a puzzle here which maybe someone can help with
This family lived in Argyle Sq in Wick in 1858
William McKay born in Charity farm 1803 aprox who was a cooper
Christina McKay nee Cameron born in Reay 1805 aprox They were married in Wick in Nov1832
Elizabeth Mckay born 1834 aprox
Alexander McKay born 1836 aprox
William McKay born 1843 aprox
Thomas McKay born 1846 and died 1858
I cant find any of them in the 1861 or later census or anything on Scotlands People
Anyone any ideas

Hi
Could William maybe have died before 1861 and Christina remarried?
There is this family at Dalhalvag, Upper Strathahhalladle, Reay
William Douglas, 64, Lotter (?), b. Halkirk
Christina Douglas, 61, wife, b. Reay
Margaret McKay, 21, Stepdaughter, Serv. Oops, forgot to note where Margaret was born - will go back and look.
Cheers
Ellen.

Only two baptisms that fit for Margaret with mother Christina/alts are:
21 January 1839, Latheron to Neil McKay and Christian Young
24 Jan 1841, Reay to Peter McKay and Christy MacKay
She might not have been recorded though.
No sign of a death for William 1855-1861 
There were the Clearances still going on then - did they emigrate or move outwith the county

I found Williams death cert in the registrar in Wick its not on Scotlands people
it also confirms that there address was in Smith Tce as Woozle said in quoting the 1861 census where Christina was described as a widow living with her doagter Elizabeth however still no sign of her death cert
At least it ties the mainpart of the family together
Many thanks
