The life of George Duncan MacKy
Biography
George Duncan MacKy's Irish birth entry names James Macky and Mary Mitchell as his parents. It records his birth on August 26, 1880 at Gallagh, County Londonderry, within the Kilderry registration district. Gallagh is the birthplace in that record; Kilderry is the administrative district.
The family's identification connects this child with George Duncan MacKy in New South Wales, Australia, whose father became a physician practicing in Australia. By 1908 George was in the Raymond Terrace district in the lower Hunter region, where he married Amy Lisette King.
George and Amy had seven children between 1910 and 1918: Minnie, Nellie May, James, Kathleen, Lindsay, Ernest Robert and Amy “Norma.” Their birth references connect the household with Bellingen and Bowraville in the New South Wales north-coast region, and Raymond Terrace farther south near Newcastle. Norma was born at Bowraville in 1918.
George died at Auburn in western Sydney on February 19, 1940, aged fifty-nine. Amy survived him until 1963.
The family’s identification of the Irish father is specifically with Dr. James Dill Macky, later of Ulmarra; that cross-country identification remains a strong historical correlation.
