Hi Isles,
Many thanks for the McBay Family Tree you sent me,I will be digesting all the data with great interest over the coming weeks and include it into my tree in due course. I had heard stories of the McBay's on the lifeboats and some tragic accidents involving them. You mention a book by Roy Souter "Wild and Rocky Coast" is it available for purchase and if so where can I obtain a copy of it? Edward was my 4xGrt.Uncle.
Once again I really do appreciate the time and effort you have given me and I look forward to many more "conversations" .
Regards

Spotted my grt grandmothers name HELEN FINDLATER on lyndyloo6 's reply .According to Robert McBeys marriage cert his father was reputed to be Robert McBey Postman and this is where I stick.I have found a R Mc (postal worker) on a census from Boharm,about the right age,but is he the right one ?
Robert Findlater McBey died in 1905 when my grandfather was 3years old .My Grandad was also Robert McBey.
Has anyone come across James McBain,(father Farquhar McBain) who was also supposedly an older son of the unmarried Miss Findlater?

Hi there

My name is Kevin McBay

I am crew member of the Montrose Lifeboat. I have been asked about the late James McBay who died aboard the Johnshaven lifeboat by the station mechanic.

I didnt know anything about this until i did a quick google search and came across this thread.

The RNLI are preparing a memorial in memory of RNLI crew who were lost while crewing the boats. I am unsure of the details.

Foggy, could you please contact the station in Montrose? The number can be gained from the directory enquiries. If you get stuck i will keep an eye on this thread

I dont want to post details in the thread in case it is not allowed?

Hi Kevin, and welcome to Rootschat. 

Could you let me/us know as I am sure that some of us may have relatives and it is nice to know these things.  I know that both sides of my family, Welsh and MacDonald both sailed out of Montrose. 

Regards,
Lynda

Hey there :)

my grandfather is originally from the Johnshaven and Bervie area.

My grandfather David Ogilivie McBay joined the RAF and travelled the world. My dad Grant McBay was in the army, when he left the army in '88 we settled in montrose, we have been here since.

I have been a member of the RNLI Lifeboat in Montrose for approx 11 years now :D
