General Notes:
Note by Mary Young: Margaret Mackay, Sheila Mackay and I have searched in vain for Jessie Mackay's death. She was enumerated at home in the 1891 census. In January 1896 her husband remarried, declaring himself a widower, but there is no death for Janet/Jessie in the Scottish Statutory Records.
