This is a One Name Study to collect together in one place everything about one surname and the variants of that name. The hope is that other researchers like you will join our study to help make it a valuable reference point for people studying lines that cross or intersect. Please contact the project leaders, add categories to your profiles, add your questions to the bulletin board, add details of your name research, etc.
Please add any information on Mackie and its variations that you think other researchers might like to know. This is a free space page for collaboration!

My ancestor is Sarah Mackey|Stephenson (1793-1873), daughter of Daniel Mackey and former widow Mary Sellars|Cousins|Mackey. Sarah Mackey married James Stephenson.
My father's DNA results have matches to Sarah's brother Richard Sellars Mackey born in 1806, confirming the identification of this Sarah.
William Brockie in his 1857 book states of the name Mackey:
'Mackay, Mackey, McKie, mac-Aogh, son of Hugh. Mackay, Pugh, Hewson, and FitzHugh, are in signification the same. Our South Shields and Newcastle Mackeys have a tradition that their ancestors came from Liddlesdale. Their great-grandfather lived at Dunterley, near Bellingham, in the early part of the last century. His son, Matthew Mackey, removed to Ponteland in 1745, and lived to the uncommon age of 105.'
I have been reading a lot about the origins of this surname this week to find out more, but firstly I need to try and confirm my Mackey line.
Sarah also had a brother Milbourne Mackey baptised in South Shields in 1813, but he seems from later census and death records to have actually been born before 1813.
From the name Milbourne, it looks like the father is probably the Daniel Mackey baptised in South Shields in 1756, son of Daniel Mackey baptised in 1730 in South Shields, who was the son of Daniel Mackey and Sarah Milbourne who married in 1717. Daniel Mackey baptised in 1756 had a brother also called Milbourne Mackey so then could have named his son after his brother.
However while the burial of Sarah's mother Mary appears to be in South Shields in 1820, I can't find the burial of her father Daniel Mackey to know his age at death. He was a mariner so could perhaps have died at sea, but at the moment I have no idea. I need to do a check on the other Mackey variants listed above.
There are potentially however other pathways from Daniel Mackey and Sarah Milbourne who married in 1717. They had a son John born in 1717 in South Shields and later a John Mackey (probably the same man) married in 1742 and had a son Daniel Mukkie in South Shields in 1744.
There is also a Daniel Mackey son of Thomas Mackey born in 1769 but I think he probably married Dorothy Wilson. So I am trying to workout all the Daniel Mackeys around South Shields and Northumberland which is a bit of a tricky task!
If anyone has done any research into the South Shields Mackeys, I would love to hear from you.
Also, does anyone know if the original research paperwork of William Brockie survives anywhere at all?
Thanks, Jon

I can take these 2 name studies. They have to many. Over there. These basically the same alternative names so I took those. Just ask for these surnames to be brought over I will help with efforts.
Thanks for adding a link to your page. If we need to separate this name study into two, Mackay would be the dominant study, with Mackie the secondary. Laura would lead one, and I would lead the other. Your page would belong with the Mackie study.
Thanks for helping!
