Hallo.  Although I am not connected to the McBay family of St Cyrus and Johnshaven I have a large chart which traces the descendants of an Alexander McBay who married a Christian Ritchie at St Cyrus in 1802.  As there are many branches perhaps you could let me know your connection.

Hi.  As you are having difficulty with private messages I suggest we use the normal method of posting.  I have searched both the Benholm and St Cyrus Parish Register for the birth/baptism of John McBay but could find no entry.  The same applies to his siblings Thomas, Martha and Johanna.  I think the best we can say is that John would have been born in either 1835 or 1836.
The reply you received from Ray Buck on 27 Jun '08 mentions a William McBay b. Forfarshire 1829.  He and his brothers Alexander(1827), David (1830) and John (1832) were  born at Panbride, Angus (formerly Forfarshire) their parents being Alexander McBay and Elizabeth Wilson.
I'm sorry that I couldn't be of more help.  You have done very well in the research of your branch.

Regards,
Isles.
