Hi,
The DOB is from the 'findagrave' website. It lists the children, and the names match.
I have now found a birth record which shows an Angus MacKay born to a James MacKay from Golspy, on 22nd May 1763. No sign of who the mother was though.
On Angus' death record from 1837 it says "Angus MacKay (Baillie)" and on his daughter's death record in 1838, it says "Janet MacKay (Bailie)".
Could 'Baillie' be a Mother's Maiden name? Or does it have a meaning that I am unaware of?? Any help appreciated...Does anyone know what it means??
