Thanks Lodger for burials (wasn't expecting you to find them so a nice surprise)! & Sancti for VR's, not got round to them yet!

I'm now thinking (although having seen it as 44 about 3 times) it may have been 4A?

My goodness, not too good for remaining family, 3 deaths in 3 years, how sad with only a gap of 4 yrs for 4th death

John McKinnon was my uncle and Catherine was my mother's sister. They had 4 children Catherine was the eldest. Cathy married Gerry Griffen and they had 2 daughters Kathleen and Margaret. I have lived in Canada for 40 years and have lost touch with my cousins and second cousins. I believe Kathleen got married but I can't recall her married name. I will be going to Scotland in June and hope to reconnect with my relations.

Hi Shuggydug & welcome to Rootschat 

Good to hear from you as I think we may be related?

Can you tell me who your g g/parent's were on the M(a)cKinnon side please?

Hi Annie,
My grand parents were Peter Daly and Catherine McGown. My mother's sister Catherine (Kate) Daly
married John McKinnon and they lived in Lochend St in Motherwell. I made a typo in my first message. They had 5 children : Catherine (Cathy), Margaret, Theresa, John, and Peter. (my cousins) Cathy was the eldest  and she married Gerard Griffen. They had 2 daughters Kathleen and Margaret. These girls are the granddaughters of John & Kate McKinnon (nee Daly). Kathleen is the eldest so I thought this was the person you were looking for. I did not know my uncle John's family ( ie the McKinnons) but I think his ancestors were from South Uist. Sorry if I mislead you regarding my G/parents.
