Hi James
The closest I got to a marriage between Hector and Jean was:-
29/11/1794 Hector MacKay from Badnahachlash to Jean MacKintosh in Mussel
Then a baptism
06/12/1795 Hector MacKay and Janet MacKintosh in Badnahachlash, John
Also
17/05/1778 John MacKintosh alias Maceanmacalistericemish, Junior a very little tennant and post in Balamhulich, Janet.
Do have some other children for this John Mackintosh who was married to Isobel Murray, if you want me to post them.
Hope this helps.
Andy

Thank you Andy,
Hector and Janet should have had at least three other children;
Angus b.1803
Effy b. 1805
Barbara b.1813
If you happen to come across them some time then please let me know.
I would also be grateful for the MacIntosh info.
Thanks again,
James

Hello Andy,
Would you be so kind as to see if you can get any info on:
Duncan Campbell marries Margaret McIntyre 16/02/1833 Durness.
I have five children, one of which - Donald Campbell b1837 Durness, we believe is "ours"
Many thanks in advance,
Phil

The LDS have this film in their catalogue - Andy means his transcriptions only go so far.  You can get this film in through your nearest family history centre, if you cannot get to Edinburgh.

I recently picked up on the exchange 29 June re Donald Mackay.
Donald was my g g grandfather. I am intrigued by one bit of information and that is the marriage of Angus to Barbara. Do you have any firm link to the Angus born to Donald and Elizabeth. The name structure in the register helps but there were a lot of Donald Mackays in Durness.
Janet from Lettermore is probably not from the family you list. Lettermore is south of Tongue below Ben Loyal and to the east of it.
I would appreciate any confirmation you can give.

I was looking for confirmation of the dob of Angus Mackay who married 26/12/1806. I did not find that info and wondered where you had picked it up from.
Regards

Hi Jon
The RF refers to the following:-
The Reay Fencibles
Raised in 1794 by George MacKay of Bighouse.
Strength of 800 men, of whom 700 had "Mac" prefixed to their names.
The uniform was Highland, with light blue facings, and silver lace, the officers' loops being in pairs. The tartan was MacKay, but of a lighter shade than is worn today. Officers and sergeants wore sporrans with six white tassels with silver 'bells'. The rank and file wore goatskin sporrans, with black tassels and white metal 'bells', and with plain white metal tops. Drummers wore 'reversed colours' - light blue jackets with red facings, with lac on the sleeves and down the back.
Embodied at Fort George in 1795.
Served in Ireland during the rebellion.
A Military Band was formed in 1800, wore white jackets faced light blue.
Disbanded in 1802.
1798 - Reay Fencibles fought at the Battle of Tara Hill, near Dublin
Cheers
Andy
