I've posted this elsewhere but thought it was worth asking on an Lincs forum:

A recently found ancestor shows up on the 1851 census as being born in "Newfoundland, Lincolnshire" - the image is here though I believe I've read it correctly:

Do you know where this is? - I can't find any trace of it anywhere!

Thanks for reading!

I wonder whether some kind person can help.
There is a marriage on the IGI as follows:

John Hawkins married Ann Kirkeham on 4 Jul 1802 in the parish of Aston juxta Birmingham. Batch No. M011682

If someone can tell me whether there is more detail - perhaps parents or witnesses - that would be very helpful.

Many thanks,
William

May I add my tuppence worth to this?..regarding Macgregor/Morrison & Macgregor/Mackenzie and Macgregor/Macdonald marriages:

Alexander Macgregor (shepherd and cattle herder according to his 2 son's death certs - seemingly in Achtercairn/Strath according to his widow's residence in 1841/51) married Christian (with lots of variants) Morrison born c1784...4 known children:

Child 1: Roderick born c1806 married Mary Mackenzie and had children John, Mary, Catherine, Ann, Robert, Alexander, Catherine, Margaret, Isabella, Duncan between 1838 & 1862. Roderick was a hill drainer and lived in Kinlochewe (1851, 61, 71) before dying of insanity in 1876.

Child 2: Barbara [/i]born c1811. Only found on 1851 census.

Child 3: Murdoch [/i](also Murdo) born c1812 married Isabella Macdonald of Petty near Inverness in Dec 1830. All their children were born over in the east and Murdoch & Isabella both died in Nairn in 1872 & 1887 respectively. I am  descended from this line.

Child 4: Annabella born c1813. Only found on 1841 census...and presumed to be a daughter. May be wrong.

Might there be a connection that someone is aware of?

Thanks for reading!

Hi Gadget,

thanks for your helpful reply. I will get in touch with the Ullapool Museum to see what they may know - thanks for the suggestion.

In the meantime, I have just managed to find Alexander senior's death cert from 1881. His parents were Kenneth Mackenzie (crofter) & Mary Cameron - attested to by Alexander senior's nephew John who should have known the truth.

So, in summary:
Kenneth Mackenzie & Mary Cameron married
 son Alexander Mackenzie (born c1801) married Christina Mackenzie in Lochbroom, 1823
  son Alexander Mackenzie (born c1833) married Ann MacAulay (Lochbroom, 1852) then moved east where he married Catherine Maclennan & then Jane Rodger.

Census data found so far:

All these refer to Alexander junior (my ggg-grandfather). Bracketed numbers refer to Alexander's 3 wives. I have all the marriage & death certificates for each of them.
