Looking for a McKay - emigrated from Ulster

[PPS]

I received a letter yesterday from a Barbara Asta, daughter of Dorothy Ethel McKay.

Unfortunately, it turns out that the Andrew McKay connected to her is not the uncle of my friend. It was a chance I took and it did not work out.

As the lady has taken the time to reply to my letter, I feel I must reply and thank her for that. It is only courtesy that I do so.

So back to the drawing board it is.

Nothing more has been discovered about this gentleman in connection with Canada unfortunately, but I live in hope. I have a possible favour I could call in, but I am reluctant to do so unless really necessary.

One thing I completely missed in information that was sent to me some time ago was a previous Regiment.

It appears that this Andrew John McKay transferred from The Midland Regiment to the Royal Rifles sometime before October 1941. Does anyone know if there is a Regimental Association connected with The Midland Regiment that might have historic documents, etc?

I also now have his mother's maiden name which will hopefully allow me to track down a birth year, initially anyway.
