MURDO McKENZIE and CATHERINE McDONALD

[John Bird]

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:

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.

Presumably Isabella should read 1794 ?
