The GVRBs appear to show that:
- James McKay acquired Plot 12 of 17/1/11 arps from Thomas Carleton in 1895.
- He is still there in 1912, when part of the land is designated water.
- By the beginning of the last book he has vanished to be repleaced by a Fanny McKay. It is her name that tells me that James McKay must be the son of the mysterious George "McQuay"!
