Hugh McKay married Mary Campbell on 28 June 1864, Tyree, Argyllshire
(on the marriage certificate only Hugh's father is recorded as deceased but i can find no trace of his mother or sister on the 1861 census)
Hugh and Mary had the following children

2. Alexander McKay b. 28 Jul 1866, Glasgow

10. Donald McKay b. 1880, Glasgow
Hugh McKay died May 1917, cause Congestion of Lungs, 26 Brown St, Glasgow
Informant was his son John McKay.
Parents were stated as John McKay - Mason, and Catherine McKay, nee Cameron both deceased.
This is all the information i have, i have no marriage record or baptism for John McKay and Catherine Cameron.
Where is Catherine and Mary on the 1861 census ?
Is anyone else researching this family ?
Thank you,
