Canada / MCKAY in Ontario
« on: Tuesday 21 July 15 17:37 BST (UK) »
Hello,
I am interested in finding some relatives by marriage who came from Argyll, Scotland to Ontario, Canada some time after WW1.
My great uncle's sister-in-law, Christina DUNCAN, (b. Sept. 28, 1882 at Dron, Perthshire) married George MCKAY on January 23, 1914 at Kilmore and Kilbride, Argyll, Scotland. George was a furnace man in the aluminium works near their home in Kinlochleven. I wonder if he went to Hamilton, Ontario where he could get similar work at the time?
Christina was the daughter of John DUNCAN and Christina CRICHTON. George was the son of John MCKAY and Margaret MURRAY.
Christina's sister, Agnes DUNCAN, had married Hugh MCGREGOR in Scotland and immigrated to western Canada about 1919. When Agnes and Hugh retired, they moved east to Ontario, where their son, John MCGREGOR, lived in Downsview. Agnes was not in the big city long, it seems, before she was struck by a car and killed. Sometime before her death (1950s??), she and her sister Christina had a visit. After that, contact with the MCKAYs was lost.
Looking for any connections to these MCKAYs in Ontario as we are in Ontario too. Thank you!
