I too, am looking for a Kenneth McKenzie, born in the 'parish of Lochbroom, in or near Ullapool' but about 1783. He served as a private in the 55th regiment from Sept 1806 until Oct 1814 and then with the 25th regiment or Scottish Borderers from 5 Nov 1815 until Nov 1832, with an extension to Jan 1833. He was awarded Chelsea Pensioner status and lived in Edinburgh where he had three daughters by Mary Palmer: Mary (b.c. 1829) who married James Balcarras, and Isabelle (b. c. 1830) who married master tailor Charles Blue. Margaret Jane (b. c. 1825, d. 1856) married John Kerr. Kenneth McKenzie died in 1843 in Edinburgh at Nairn's Close.
Any information or links to family would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
