Donald Mackay, shepherd, Reay
« on: Tuesday 09 January 07 23:34 GMT (UK) »
I'm interested in finding out more about Donald Mackay, a shepherd of Bighouse, Reay, wife Jean/Janet, various children including daughter Catherine b. 1818. I think Donald must have died before 1841 as can't find him on the census, any help appreciated, thanks.

I now know that Donald had died before 1831, when his daughter married. Would there be any records of deaths/burials from Reay (Portskerra) around this time?
