Inverness / Archibald McKay
« on: Tuesday 12 July 11 02:17 BST (UK) »
I am looking for any information on Archibald McKay. Born Abt 1835 Inverness Scotland. Father Duncan McKay mother Ann McDonald.
Archibald married Margaret Elliott in 1864 in Glasgow Scotland (I have marriage cert). His parents were deceased at the time of his marriage according to the Wedding Cert.
Archibald and Margaret immigrated to Australia between 1864 and 1868...as their children were born in Sydney Australia..the first record starting in 1868 with their son Robert McKay.
Archibald was a Mason and was "Insolvent" twice in Australia due to ill health. On the Insolvency papers there is mention of borrowing monies from family, but I do not know if they were also in Australia or in Scotland.
I have no Scotish history on Archibald nor can I find any records on what ship they immigrated to Australia on.
If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
Lynette
