Thanks for the replies  It isnt the couple in Aberdeen  i had a look at Scotlands people  I really dont know if they went abroad  Its old Williams death cert that would tie the family in ...if only i knew what happened to him!!
many thanks again

I found Williams death cert in the registrar in Wick   its not on Scotlands people
it also confirms that there address was in Smith Tce as Woozle said in quoting the 1861 census where Christina was described as a widow living with her doagter Elizabeth   however still no sign of her death cert
At least it ties the mainpart of the family together
Many thanks

hello I realise that this is a very late reply, just to say that the details given by woozle for Alexander Mckay & wife Elizabeth are my great grandparents and i have a pretty full history for them if this is of any help best wishes anyway cheers macci6
