"In 1951 I chanced upon an old family Bible in the home of Harry McKay whol like myself is a great grandson of William McKay. He lives at the south east junction of the cross road at Egermont Road and Warwick Plympton Townline. He married rather late in life, but the old home of his grandfather was for a long time the shelter for many of the old family photos, and other documents. I am sure many were destroyed within my memory when a new house was built, and as new occupants moved in. At any rate this old Bible contained a complete list of births and dates of teh McKay family. They still have many photos that I caqnnot identify. Records of teh Anglican Church may provide further information, including reference to William McKay's date of death and burial.
