Looking for info on my potential ancestors John Mackay and Elizabeth Patterson who were living in the "town" of Thurso at the baptism of their four children in the parish register:
Barbara Mackay b. 11th November 1770.
Marion Mackay b. 1st March 1773 (twin)
Margaret Mackay b. 1st March 1773 (twin)
Donald Mackay b. 12th August 1776.
Does not appear to be any marriage record for the parents. Any idea where they were from, when they married etc would be good.
Cheers,
Mike Munro.

Thanks, I suppose his parent's names would match with that of two of his children. Cheers and Merry Christmas!
