Thanks, Fordyce. Got it now and added it to the list, with consequent alterations of earlier messages highlighted in a different colour. It didn't occur to me to search using McCay, and for some reason searching with McKay and with Jo's e-mail address did not turn it up as it should have done.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
