Title: John McKay, shoemaker
Post by: janglaschu on Friday 03 April 09 16:30 BST (UK)

A John Mckay, shoemaker, was a witness at the marriage of Catharine McKay and John Ross in Aberdeen in 1831. Catherine was from Reay parish, but also lived in Latheron for a time.

This may be John in the 1841 census:
John McKay age 33, shoemaker, living at Wales Street, North Parish, Aberdeen (born outside county)
Piece: SCT1841/168 Enumeration District: 1 Folio: 1 Page: 20

Does anyone have this John in their tree? I'm trying to establish whether he was a relative of Catharine McKay, and if so, how they were connected.

Thanks for any help.
