Innes McKay was the son of Peter McKay and Jane McKay, Peter and Jane have a 10 acre farm in Reay in the 1841 census. Jane is recorded as being a pauper in the 1851 census, her daughter Jane and her grand daughter Wilhelmina Paterson are both living with her on the same farm.
Peter and Jane were my 4xs GT grandparents.their son Innes married to Margaret Sutherland were my 3xs GT grandparents. Innes and Margaret,s son Alexander Mackay and wife Donaldina Mackay nee Mackay were my 2xs GT grandparents.
Alexander and Donaldina,s daughter Helen Mackay born 1862 was my GT grandmother.

No I haven't, but will do thanks Colin

Have you looked for a Jane Gunn married to Peter Mackay, try the 1841, 1851, and later census for Jane and Peter in Reay, Caithness
Sholto

Reay town is in Caithness. The parish was a cross-border parish, with 60% in Sutherland.
In 1891, the Sutherland portion of the parish was transferred to Farr parish in Sutherland.
There are 1890s maps showing parishes for any Scottish county at:

The first 6 are extracted records (batch#=C110404) - the last 2 are submitted.
The mother is Margaret Sutherland, sometimes abbreviated to Suthd.

I don't see Innes in 1861 Caithness - my guess is he died in the 1850s.
If you're lucky, he lasted to 1855, so his death will have a civil registration.
That rego should name his parents.

On the downside

no there isnt, though lots of MacKay's in the area so it distinctly probable that it was wrong.
Yes he did die in Scotland

Is there documented PROOF of his mother's name on the Ancestry tree?

doh i mis-read it thought it was her birth :-S
the 'info' i found on someone else's tree

His parents should be named on his death cert.........if he died in Scotland

WHY isn't a1793 marriage compatible with a child's birth in 1804?

And on which part of Ancestry did you find the 'info' about his mother?

The LDS info is 'submitted', as indicated, so may be inaccurate..........

Is that on a tree on Ancestry?

was on another tree on ancestry

Was that on a census ??

Thanks but am not sure about that one I've just found on ancestry that Innes's mother was a Jane plus with him having a birthdate as 1804 it doesnt seem possible.
