Hiya Cas,

Though there were a few early entries in the Lochbroom register, it mostly
survives from around 1810.

There was a MacAulay family at Dornie in Coigach. The parish register has
the following christenings registered to a John MacAulay there;

1. Margaret, c.30 Jul 1816 (place for this registration "Old Dornie")
2. Angus, c.21 Jun 1818
3. Doretha, c.20 Sep 1820
4. John, c.28 Aug 1822
5. Alexander, c.28 May 1825
6. Alexr., c.19 Mar 1827
7. Mary Anne, c.17 Oct 1830
8. Murdoch 17, c.May 1833

Hope thats some help!
