James Kay born 1839

[Jean Jeanie]

James Kay was born 22/9/1839 in Ratho Midlothian.

On 16/2/1869 he married Margaret Hislop in North Leith.

4 children found on the IGI:-

George Hislop Scott Kay born 23/9/1870 Leith
Mary Matilda Lennard Scott Kay born 21/10/1972 Leith
James Drummond Kay born 19/5/1874 Leith
Charlotte Scott Kay b 19/5/1874 Leith.

I have searched my 1881 census discs for this family and can't find them

Any ideas anyone?

Regards
Jean

Hi Jean,

They are transcribed as 'Ray' at Ancestry - maybe it's the same with the LDS disc.

James Ray 41 born Ratho, Clerk
Margaret Ray 40
George H Ray 10
Margaret H Ray 4

Hi Annette

Bingo

Transcribed as Ray on the discs as well!

In case Kay had been mistranscribed I searched for all Charlotte's born in Midlothian in 1874 +/- but it looks as though wee Charlotte didn't live until then

Many thanks

I started with Charlotte too and found them through George by adding the parents names.
