MURDO McKENZIE and CATHERINE McDONALD

Post by John Bird » Tue Sep 14, 2010 11:34 am

Hi
I am trying to find out more about Murdo McKenzie and Catherine McDonald When was Murdo born?, when did they marry? What what their their parents names. I believe they came from around Gairloch area. They had 6 children- Isabella bn abt 1894, Roderick 1802, Norman 5/8/1804, Janet 7/10/1805, Duncan abt 1807 (my g x 2 grandfather) and Mary 21/8/1808.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

John

Hi John:

Have you checked the IGI? http://www.familysearch.org/eng/Search/ ... search.asp

These two records are extracts from Church records:
Murdo McKenzie
Spouse: CATHERINE MCDONALD Family
Marriage: 01 JUL 1869 Lochcarron, Ross And Cromarty, Scotland

Murdoch Mackenzie
Spouse: CATHERINE MACDONALD Family
Marriage: 21 JAN 1830 Applecross, Ross And Cromarty, Scotland

Father: DONALD MC KENZIE Family
Mother: CATHERINE MC AULAY

Murdoch McKenzie
Marriages:
Spouse: CATHERINE MC DONALD Family
Marriage: 24 DEC 1857 Lochs, Ross And Cromarty, Scotland
Husband Age at Marriage: 24
Wife Age at Marriage: 23

Murdoch McKenzie
Spouse: CATHERINE MC DONALD Family
Marriage: 03 MAR 1803 Urquhart, Inverness, Scotland

"Murdoch McKenzie" births show up many times in the database, including simply Murdo - most being in the Ross-Cromarty or Inverness areas.

The database includes records of his children's births.

Hope this helps,

Hi Frances

Thank you for your response. The marriage in 1803 seems to be the most likely for "my" ancestors.

Greetings John.

Quote: They had 6 children- Isabella bn abt 1894, Roderick 1802, Norman 5/8/1804, Janet 7/10/1805, Duncan abt 1807 (my g x 2 grandfather) and Mary 21/8/1808. End Quote.

Presumably Isabella should read 1794 ?

Alan.
