Another 6 credits shows that the death of a Mary McGilvray Snr in Kilfinichen and Kilvickeon of the right age was not yours.

Mary McGilvray - 61 years - 1890 - 542/ 26 - Kilfinichen and Kilvickeon

No need for payment - just trying to help - family are hard to find.

Thankyou for your kindness

I have just  letter from a cousin, saying:-
 
Neil McGillivray        D.193?
 
Daughter Sarah
 
Step sister Kate
Step brother Johnnie  (who used to visit my parents)
 
Step brother Hugh    wife Dolly
Daughters    Jessie and  Marion
 
My cousin thought they were younger than Sarah.  and  cousin remembers going to Morvern, and Kate was living there with Neil McGillivray,
at  Larachbeg.
     Ardtonnish Estate.
     Lochaline,
     Morvern.
 It looks like Mary was born out of wedlock and these children were product of Neil and Mary together
Cant find any births for these yet

Let's work through with the new info, jennyrob  :)

Mary stated that her mother was deceased when she married in 1898. Father Neil showing as alive on the marriage cert from what you mention?

This looks a possible connection to Neil that you could follow up https://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/802783/mcgilvray,-archibald/

This looks a possibility for the family of the Neil that you mention from the 1901 census:

Neil Mcgillivary 53 ploughman I think from the transcript. Birth place also mistranscribed as seresay, Argyll
Grains Neil Mcgillivary 41 ages for this son and twin (?) Hugh are wrong for sure
Twins Hugh Mcgillivary 41
John Mcgillivary 13
Sarah Mcgillivary 12
Arche Mcgillivary 10
Katie Mcgillivary 8
Mary Mcneil 40 housekeeper

Address: Achuaha House, Morvern

You should check the original image on SP for this one. Possible that wife has died?

As you can see, I am trying to work back on the censuses to see what shows for this Neil. Can't easily see this Neil for certain in 1871 although there are a few entries that might be him that could fit.

1861:

Neil Mcgilvray 60 Dyke Builder b. Salen, Argyleshire
Catherine Mcgilvray 48 b. Salen, Argyleshire
Mary Mcgilvray 15
Neil Mcgilvray 12
Nk 50 ???
Archibald Mcgilvray 12
Ann Mcgilvray 10 https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XB2D-J5T
Sarah Mcgilvray 7

Address:5 Salen Village, Argyll

You can confirm the maiden name of Paterson from Neil's marriage or death regs.

One more to add now for 1851:

Niel Mcgillivray 50 agr lab.
Catharine Mcgillivray 40
Duncan Mcgillivray 12
Angus Mcgillivray 10
Isabella Mcgillivray 8
John Mcgillivray 6
Niel Mcgillivray 4
Archd Mcgillivray 3
Mary Mcgillivray 3
Ann Mcgillivray 6 Months

Address:6 Salen, Torosay Argyll
