This page is still being researched. It has NOT yet been launched formally into the Database but is shown here TEMPORARILY (albeit for an uncertain length of time pending further research), partly to record connections that we fear we might otherwise lose sight of and partly in the hope that one or more visitors to the site will contribute information that will enable us to develop our information on the families covered in this page to a standard that would support release of a dedicated page in the Database.

TCB reports that Alexander Hannay or Ahannay, 1st of Kirkdale, was uncle of Patrick Hannay of Sorbie who was ancestor of the 1st Baronet. TCB provides the descent from that Alexander but shows nothing about the ancestry of Sir Robert, 1st Bart, (in fact it says that the 1st Bart's parentage "is unknown") other than to report that he was descended from Patrick, Alexander's nephew. Mention of the Hannays of Sorbie, and the connection to Sir Robert, was kindly provided by a site visitor (DA, 04.02.07). HOWEVER, DA shows the father of Sir Robert (b 1507) as Odo A'Hannay (of Sorbie). BLG1952 (Hannay formerly of Sorbie) starts with a John Hannay of Sorbie (whose 2nd son was William of Grennan) who must be of the generation before Sir Robert. PROVISIONALLY, we show that John as father of Sir Robert then William then Alexander.
