Dr. James Dill Macky

1844 — 1909

Their story

Dr. James Dill Macky was born on 14 June 1844. Family research identifies his parents as William Macky and Susannah Dill and follows his life from Ireland to medical practice at Ulmarra, New South Wales.[1,3]

On 28 November 1872 James Macky married Mary Mitchell Macky at St. Columb’s Church, Lower Moville, County Donegal. Irish birth entries for William George Macky in 1879 and George Duncan MacKy in 1880 name James Macky and Mary Mitchell as their parents. These records underpin the family’s identification of the Irish father with the later Ulmarra physician.[1,2]

James died at Grafton, New South Wales, on 30 October 1909.[1,3]
