I would accept that as proof although I felt that it was the William Campbell and Mary Moss one.
Just an aside though Iverach- has connections to Reay and Durness/Farr in Sutherland.
There are branches of Mckay's with Iverach and Abrach bynames. I think that is one reason I chose the daughter of Mary Moss as the correct one.
I will research the other one as far as I can go without spending additional money lol. I am poor at the moment.

Maryann I had a new distant cousin find me from this form she sent me an email and writes this "All your Cormack research tallies with mine except with regards to Mary Ann Campbell (later Mrs. William Mowat). I too made the assumption that she was the daughter of William Campbell and Mary Moss but she was in fact the daughter of William Campbell (fisherman) and Catherine Cameron. I got this information from her death certificate ( I used the Scotlandpeople site for my research). She died on 15th July 1890 at Olrig. As you know at the time of her birth there were no certificates just baptisms. I looked this up using her parents names and she was born on 5th October 1827 to William Campbell and Catherine Cameron and was known on the baptism certificate as Margaret. You will also have learned that nothing is as it seems! The same names crop up again and again and sometimes the baptism name does not quite tally with the "known by" name. She had a brother John born in 1826. William Campbell and Catherine Cameron were married in Reay in 1824. Too many William Campbells in Reay!"
