George Maxwell McKay was born 1877 in Roxburgh, Otago, New Zealand.

In 1897 he married Lily Guy at the Registrar’s Office in Dunedin. Their son George Colvin McKay was born in October of the same year.
George then seems to disappear off the face of the earth. Lily re-married in 1906 but, no, I haven’t bought the certificate as yet.

There is another George Maxwell McKay around at this time, he was born in 1862.
There is a George Maxwell McKay in the Military Personnel Files on Archway WWI, Army. Unfortunately this file has not yet been digitised.

George’s brother John Alexander McKay’s file has been digitised. ( WW1 24455 – Army)
I am unable to access this file as I am on dial-up and the file is too big. Could some kind person please have a look in it and see if it mentions George at all.

Many thanks in advance
Katherine
