Harriet Moffat was listed as the mother of Donald McKellar, on his death certificate, when he died in Kilsyth on 29 Jun 1897. He was buried in Inverary, Kilmalou Cemetery. Donald's father was named John on the same certificate.

On the 1851 Census, a Janet McKellar, mother, was listed in Donald's home and was born in Ayrshire, Ayr. Her age was 82, thus was born about 1769.

I'm hoping to find out if anyone has heard of her.

Hi Don,

Could not find an entry in the online IGI for Harriet - you could email one of the local historian librarians for a lookup in the Ayrshire OPR Birth Index. Details on the Ayrshire GenWebPage below.

There are two entries which have been added to the IGI. Both saying:

Harriet Janet Moffat Birth: 1769 Ayr, Ayr, Scotland

There are also an ancestral file and a pedigree resource file listed, which I suspect is yours?

If any of the above arent you then it means someone else is searching for the same family.
