[diy]

Hi,

Looking for info on Angus Mckay and Mary Mitchell who were mariied in Dysart on 7th Aug 1837.

I know they had a daug. Mary Dryburgh Mckay brn 13 Oct 1840, chr 21 Jan 1841 both in Dysart.

Mary Dryburgh Mckay married a William Brooks in  27 Mar 1867 also in Dysart. Can anyone provide more information on either the McKay or Mitchell line?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the information. I wonder if Angus had died at this point. Are there any records of Mary Mitchell and Mary Mckay in Dysart come the 1861 census? Any idea's how I could track Angus down.

Thanks

Hi there
Mary Mitchell married Alexander Allan on 22 March 1845 in Dysart.
Incidently there was an Alexander Allan residing next door to Mary Mitchell in the 1841 census.
Alexander Allan (son) born 15 Feb 1846 Dysart
Janet Allan (dau) born 26 Aug 1846 Dysart

1851 Census Dysart
Agnes Pentland 56. Widow. Winds yarn
Mary Allan 30  Unmarried. Mill worker spinning flax
Mary McKay 10  grandau. Pauper at home
Alexander Allan 7. Grandson. Pauper at home
Jessie Allan 4. Grandau  Pauper at home

Address South Street

Agnes Pentland died in 1862 from asthma not certified aged 71 reported by granddaughter Mary McKay.
No address given other than Dysart
Parents of Agnes given as Michael Jackson and Janet Russell

I cannot find their marriage or a birth for Agnes Jackson on family search or scotlandspeople

I still have to look for them on the 1861 census

Looks like both Agnes and Mary Mitchell widowed twice in short space of time.

Mary (Dryburgh) Mackay was my Gt, Gt, Grandmother.
Her daughter was Mary Mitchell Brooks who married Alexander Redmond.
One of their daughters, Mary married my Grandfather James McLaughlin and they had a large family of whom the 4th born was my Mum Agnes Casey McLaughlin.

Hello John
Nice to see you on here.

I looked up the OPR of Angus Mackay and Mary Mitchell. He was a seaman of the parish of Dysart, son of Angus Mackay, so it looks like he died soon after. I think there may be records available on findmypast but i 'm not commiting myself to subscription until I have other stuff prepared to research as well.
Alexander Allan on the 1841 census at the next household to Agnes and Mary was a ships carpenter but I don't know if it was he whom she married not taken that further yet. He may have been too young.
I noticed lots more records available free to view on family search and freecen.
I will send you an email regards meeting up.
