Family History

It is believed that the youngest William Heron was adopted. While he was born illegitimately to Sophia McKay and his marriage records indicate her as the parent, information provided by his son for his death records list William Heron and Margaret Drysdale as his parents.

William Herron McKays sheet, which is accessed from here, provides a link to his biological mother as well
