Jane Macgillivray 4/04/04
Since posting this message I have found offspring of William Harrison Jamieson McGillivray.
A point of interest though, the McGillivray surname was handed down from his mother.She had William before she married and thus gave him her maiden name.
The McGillivray ancestry come from James McGillivray born approx 1845 in Aberdeen (I suspect Kennethmount).He, too, was born out of wedlock.His sparents were John McGillivray (born approx 1818 died Dec 13, 1874 in Seggieden, Kennethmount) and his mother was a domestic servant, Jane Henderson (no information on her).
John McGillivray, was married to Isabella Shand and have 6 children born 1851 to 1864 (Mary, Robert, Peter, Isabelle, Jane and Margaret).
John's parents were Alexander McGillivray and Mary Meldrum.They had two sons, John and Alexander.
