They were my great great grandparents through their son John Grant. Still in Scotland but know every little about Feshebridge ( been trying to locate the saw mill for years ) and very limited info on the Grant family. Would love to know more though. D

Thanks VBAIN for the info.

Ive found a Kenneth Mackay in the 1930 New York Federal Census, Manhattan Borough. He is there with an Agnes Mackay, Martin Tait and a Donald Mackay. Any idea of how I can check the census free of charge?

Kenneth Mackays father was called Angus Mackay (born 1839 on the Island of Lewis, Scotland) and his mother was called Christine or Kirsty Martin (born 1850 on the Island of Lewis, Scotland). They married in October 1875 in Carloway, Isle of Lewis. This is the area they lived in.

Hope this helps.

Help. Im not sure where to turn to but Im looking for a Kenneth Mackay from the Isle of Lewis in Scotland that apparantly moved to Canada in the early 1900's. Rumour has it he went to Manitoba first before moving to Vancouver wheer he died young.  He apparantly married and possibly spent some time in the USA. He was born about 1888. Sorry the information is vague but its about all I know about him. As I said. Help.

Duncan, my apologies for not getting back sooner. I'm sure I have an old photograph of your granny when she was in primary school, along with her two sisters. Its a group photograph of the whole school. Im sure you know that your granny saved her twin sister from a fire and received an award for doing so. I think it was reported in the local paper at the time. I think your granny was also quoted in the Scotsman newspaper in the 60's when the queen visited Garrabost. I think it says she lived in Glasgow at the time.

As for Jessie Carr, Im sure I came across details of her as being possibly a Kerr and from being from Dingwall area but I havnt been able to confirm this so dont use it as a definate. Your great granny Isabella Graham married John Grant at 1 Ardconnel Street Inverness.

Hope this helps

Duncan, as it happens Ive been looking at your grandmothers admission records to Lagganlia school with her sisters. I take it they moved to Lewis as they seemed to be in the school for a few months before they left the district. You mention that your gran was a twin. It often runs in families tho not in mines, so far any way. I dont have much information on the Grants Im afraid. I had hoped to get back into research this year but I recently moved house and Im still trying to fine some of my paper work. I think I have an idea where the site of your great grandfathers sawmill but I havent managed to confirm this yet.

I was going to say that the information on this Grant family seems to be rather sketchy till I realised thats your surname.

Canada Lookup Request / Re: Graham-1912-to Canada possibly Quebec.

Sorry for barging in on this discussion but does this Malcolm Graham have a daughter called Dolina and two sons, one called Donald the other called Murdo?

If so he still has relations living in the home island, including a niece and nephew.

What info are you trying to find out and I can see what I can find out.

Rudhach.
