My GG GrandMother Agnes McLay married a John McCartney / McArthur in circa 1860- Scotland. Her Father I am sure (ish) was James McLay, Mother maybe Mary Borthwick. Her son, my Mothers GrandFather, was Robert McArthur (a plumber) 1866-1904. Robert married Marion Muir. The child of this marriage Allison Muir Mcarthur married my GrandFather John Burden Bannatyne.

Dear Bron: Thanks for posting this information on your family. I don't know too much yet about my McCartneys, although interestingly my paternal DNA line has a relationship with several McCarter/MacArthur men from Northern Ireland as well. I don't have any of my McLeas who ever went by McLay but I know it is quite common in other McLea families. Thanks for posting and feel free to add more in the future, if you desire. I would also recommend you contact Jill Larsen, who heads the McLay one-name project (http://www.gwsfhs.org.uk/omid/member.asp?member=699) and who may be able to help with your family history regarding McLays, if you need it. Thanks again, Bron!
