William Walter McKay & Mary Ann McKay(House)

[JulPre]

Hi Geneius, Yes it looks like thats him. On #17 Dundee10 has kindly attached a snippet with Williams signature. Its a shame that there aren't any signatures on the Marriage Cert....maybe because its a Register Office Marriage. Hopefully now I will be able to make some progress. I'm grateful for everyones help.

It's late and I have just stumbled on this....

Seem to think this has already been given

1911
RG14; Piece: 7756; Schedule Number: 134
Waterside, Kings Langley
William McKay 77
Mary Ann McKay 77

A census search of Waterside may find the rest of the census as I suspect there is mis transcription of the name Mckay /Mackay /MckOy

FMP has baptisms & Burials for the family together with the children of William Mackay & Mary Ann Freeman under Kings Langley

What I cannot find is an appropriate marriage for William Mackay to Mary Ann Freeman!

Hi, I am still struggling with this...I cannot find a birth record, a 1901 Census or a 1939 Register for William (I am looking for William Walter not Ernest though...perhaps that where I am wrong but also looking for Mary Ann McKay still nothing). I now know that he Married Mary Ann Batchelor in 1899 she died in 1910 he married Mary Ann House in 1911, can find neither of them on 1939 register, perhaps he had died and she had remarried. I am going round in circles with William Walter and William Ernest...but beginning to thing they are one and the same.

1901 census for William & first wife is given at #14

Search on IVA b 1900

Sorry yes you are correct its 1891 that I am missing, my mistake.

William McKay and Mary Ann Freeman of Kings Langley/Abbots Langley were my great great grandparents. After extensive searching, I don't believe they ever got married. He was from Edinburgh. She was from Kings Langley. They had their first child Louisa (also known as Laura)in Holloway, London and then moved to Abbots Langley.
