Looking for information on Jane MacKay b.1877 parents Hugh & Rosina MacKay.
She married a George Moffat (plumber)- lived in Dumfries, had a daughter Rose b. 1904 Dumfries.
Need to find out when they emigrated to Canada - they were there in 1922.-died 1953

Just checking whether you have details of Hugh and Rosina's marriage:
HUGH MCKAY Marriages Spouse: ROSINA MCLEAN
Marriage: 16 JUL 1875 Croy And Dalcross, Inverness, Scotland
Regards.

Yes, I have details on Hugh and Rosina's marriage. Thanks.
Found their daughter's marriage and first born, on Scotlands people.
Unfortunately cannot find any other children. Scotlands people stop at 1905.
However, I would like to find out Hugh and Rosina's death details.
-
From the free searches on Scotlands People, there is a death of a Rosina MacKay, other name MacLean in 1936, with a birth year of 1852. This entry appears in Ross & Cromarty. You would have to view to confirm that this is the right one, but it is the only entry showing with a birth year 1850 +/- 10 yrs.
Regards.

This was Rosina. Also found her husband, Hugh MacKay. Thank you very much for your help,made my search much easier.
One more question and, hopefully you can assist.
Where can I find out when they went to America/Canada. They were still in Dumfries in June 1907 but in Canada 1922.

Perhaps I'll never find out, the same way I am having difficulty finding whether they had anymore children here, before going to Canada.
The only info I have is, in 1922, it is said they emigrated with his family,some years ago.

Why don't you post two separate messages in the Emigrants to US/Canada here on RootsChat, see this link www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/board,136.0.html
Hopefully someone will have access to more relevant emigration records.
I'll have a quick look now at the Ellis Island site for New York arrivals.
