Thank you all for the very valuable information.  I have one more question.  Does anyone know the meaning of Shirva?

Dunbartonshire / ShirvaDyke House Kirkintilloch
« on: Monday 16 January 23 20:12 GMT (UK)  »
Looking to find out where ShirvaDyke House in Kirkintilloch was in 1901, and if it still exists today.  I am showing my Hay family ancestors lived there at the time of 1901 census.  I am assuming it was a farm.  Any help would be appreciated.

If you have not done it already I would look to see who the witnesses at the marriages of his sisters were, and a slightly longer shot see who registered the deaths of them and their spouses in case it was John.

I have this info for one of the sisters (Agnes Russell) who was my gr. grandmother.  John was not a witness to her marriage, or an informant on either her death or her husbands.  Thanks for the suggestion

He had 3 elder sisters who also stayed in Scotland, and were married by this time.  2 were living in Govan and 1 in Kilsyth.  Agnes Russell (Hay),  Helen Donaldson (Hay), and Mary Jo Anderson (Hay).

Have you checked this death...

HAY JOHN 61 - 1951 - 644/17 910 Govan

I know you say that you do not think he went to Australia but you should consider the possibility he did. If he followed his father before 1914 he may have come back almost straight away as part of the Australian Army possibly to Gallipoli. Their records unlike ours are intact and I believe it possible to search them online although I don't know how. It is worth a try to cover all bases.

There is a surviving Australian WW1 service record for a John Hay, born in Edinburgh, Scotland, aged 25 years and 10 months on attesting in September 1914, so born 1888/89. Next of kin is given as brother Alexander, and then a Miss M A Hay, who is his sister.

I have seen this record, but it is not him.  No brother Alexander.

Yes - England could be a possibility, as could Canada because there were relatives there also.

It is possible that he did the unthinkable and moved to England.

I have checked a few census records England and abroad seeing a few John Hay's born Scotland it would help if we had his date of birth ..Like you also thought he might have went to Australia

 I have not been able to find any possible marriage with almost nothing to go on and such a popular name.  I think my next move would be to search 1911 census as I know that the family had left Scotland by then.  He had 3 elder sisters who also stayed in Scotland, and were married by this time.  2 were living in Govan and 1 in Kilsyth.  Agnes Russell (Hay),  Helen Donaldson (Hay), and Mary Jo Anderson (Hay).  If he was not living on his own, possibly he lived with one of the sisters.
