Hi everyone who helped out on this thread or was following.
I just wanted to come back and say that I have a DNA match with a descendant of Francis Birce/Birse, the half brother of Elizabeth Marion Mackay's mother, Sarah Jane Morrison.

I haven't identified other matches from these lines, but I thought that was pretty good confirmation of our research, so thank you all again.  :)

So it should be Sarah Jane WRIGHT nee MORRISON... How do you write the MACKAY part?
Sorry, I seem to have missed posting a reply to that question...

Sarah Jane Wright, Previously MacKay, Nee/Maiden Surname Morrison


Thanks for the update, it's great to know the well researched help from wivenhoe & Lisa has been proven to be correct.

As an addition for your DNA matches, you may find the LEEDS Method very helpful...
