Sorry Andy. It seems I mis-read the information (new to this stuff). This could be it! Do I read this correctly by assuming all on this with the same alias of siblings (same parents)? In other words the alias Balnaceil is another family? Also I haven't been able to locate Sartigrim. Do you know where that is by any chance? The same alias seems to be from different locations (Sartigrim, Sangobeg and Cnocbreac). Am I correct there. Really appreciate your help. I hit the perverbable brick wall a few months ago.

hi mckayg
This was all the info I could find :-
03/06/1788 John MacKay alias MacDholicustian tenent in Portchamil and Mary Campbell, William
15/02/1790 John MacKay Boveman in Balnaceil and Mary Campbell, Flora .... snip....
07/01/1809 John MacKay alias Macdholicustian in Cnocbreac and Mary Campbell, Ann
19/09/1811 John MacKay alias Macdholicustian in Cnocbreac and Mary Campbell, Alexander
Sorry could not find birth of John or Mary but I think Johns alias means son of Donald son of Christian, hope this helps.

Hello Andy,
the above Flora belongs to my line. Could you please confim your last entry above? - I had been told that the family were now in Durin for the 1811 baptism of Alexander (the family arriving in Durin is crucial to my acceptance of this John McKay as my Flora's father who is listed as John McKay, Miller, Durin at her marriage)

Mckayg,
I have just found this messageboard this afternoon. Co-incidence. Balnaceil is 3 miles west of Durness, so I've read elsewhere. Andy has posted in the following format - Date of baptism, Fathers name (including alias if one recorded) Occupation if recorded and place of residence, mothers name, child's name. A Boveman is some type of farmer, it has been explained to me but I cant quite remember. John McKay and Mary Campbell are my husband's 5th great grandparents.

Hi All
Its seems as if I have mis-read the last baptism for John MacKay and Mary Campbell, it should read:-
16/09/1811 John MacKay alias Macdholichuistian, Durin and Mary Campbell, Alexander
Sorry about the mistake, accidentally compied the details from the previous baptism of Ann. I think I also have the family of one of John MacKay's brothers if anyone would like this posted please let me know.
Andy
