MacKenzie's of Fodderty and Ullapool

[RSMACL]

 

RSMACL,
Any further info on your Christina Urquhart? I also have one in my tree, but b 1820 in Urquhart and Logie Wester (same general area as yours). Parents James and Christina (Christian) Cameron. Not going to be a sibling, but perhaps a cousin? Urquhart's were pretty thick on the ground though in that part of the Black Isle then.

My Christian Urquhart married George MacKenzie (gg-granddad), whose the son of John MacKenzie and Ann McKay in my original posting.

Cheers
Darryl

"My" Christian Urquhart's parents were Donald Urquhart/Harriet McLennan; do you have any further info. on your Christian, which could link her to mine?
 I also see I put a wrong date in my original message - of marriage of Malcolm McDonald (3rd child of Christian Urquhart/Murdoch McDonald) to Martha Matheson - should have read 6 July, 1883 (not 1833). 
 Also have a Murdoch McKenzie, uncle of Murdoch McLeod (through his mother Mary McKenzie). He was living with Murdoch/Christian on 1871 Census Cullicudden, Resolis - 78 yrs., widower/uncle/annuitant, which puts his birth around 1793, Ferrintosh, Killearnan Parish, Ross-shire.

RSMACL,
On my Urquhart line I have (from IGI OPR)...

William m. Helen McRae 8/3/1787 @ Urquhart and Logie Wester (ULU)
John c. 8/7/1791
James c. 4/7/1793 **(ggg-grandfather)
Nelly (Helen) c. 27/1/1796
Katherine c. 9/12/1798
Isobel c. 20/12/1804
Isobel c. 13/9/1807

There's a 4-year gap between marriage and first recorded child (that I've found) in ULU records so perhaps a possibility of another older sibling?

James m. Christian (Christina) Cameron
William c. 4/8/1817
Christian c. 28/11/1820 **(gg-grandmother)
Duncan c. 2/1/1823
John c. 21/4/1826
James c. 19/4/1828
Donald b.23/4/1830, c. 26/5/1830

Christian m. George MacKenzie circa. 1845. As far as I'm aware George was the first of the MacKenzie's in my direct line in the Black Isle.

I found your Christian in the IGI OPR c. 3/6/1822 ULU (which includes Ferrintosh), with siblings:
Isabel c.3/6/1822 (a twin!)
John c. 25/1/1814
James c. 12/10/1818

Can't see an obvious link at this stage...

Hello< I'm new to this form of research but also trying to get a clearer picture of my family tree via my mothers fathers family. Her father was Thomas Joesph Mackenzie born 3rd January 1866 Ullapool brother Peter Alexander Mackenzie. They being the sons of Peter Mackenzie who had a brother Kenneth,  sons of Thomas Mackenzie who married Magdalene More?. Thomas had a brother Kenneth (farmer Glastullech) who were the sons of Hector Mackenzie and Avire Letterlach who according to notes that I have have are linked to a Roderick, Alexander and Colin. Thomas Mackenzie was school master Shore Street, Ullapool in 1840. Are there any links to your Mackenzie's?

hi gorski,
I have a distant relative who knows a bit more about the McKenzie's than me and I'm going to contact him to find out what he might know. He's done loads of research and has lots on his family tree. I'm just darting around here and there at the moment and haven't had a chance to message him. I'm off at a trade fair and won't be able to speak to him until middle of the week. Once I get some info from him I'll post it on here.

hi, can find the family of Peter McKenzie and Mary Ried - is that the family? There is an Isabella Reid McKenzie and oddly there seems to be a Thomas and a Thomas Joseph?? and then Peter Alexander. All born Lochbroom.

Hi,
Mary Reid from ths Isle of Skye married Peter Mackenzie son of Thomas Mackenzie school master Shore Street, Ullapool 1840 his father was Hector Mackenzie who married Avire Letterach but I haven't been able to go any further back or find out anything about the brother of Thomas, Kenneth who was a farmer at Glastullech.

I am new to this site. My maternal grandmother was born next to the Tarbat Lighthouse. Her name was Margaret Elizabeth Fraser. She was born December 26, 1886. Her parent's names were David Fraser and Williamina Michael.  David Fraser, David's father, was born 1798 and married Johanna McKenzie. ( There is another line I am interested in.) I do have lots of information which I can and will share.
   I am posting this to see what happens when I do send this message. I am totally unfamiliar with this website. It hope it is the key to finding some lost information. I did see someone was looking for missing Fraser folks in the Portmahomack area. I am also! I can give more information once I know I have managed to get a message on line in the proper place.
Thanks,
Barbara in Texas

Hi there, very interested to hear what gorski had to say.....

I have an ancestor, Hector Mackenzie who was a tenant at Arrielettrach (on the south shore of Loch Luichart), probably before 1700 who had a son Roderick who had a son Thomas who had a son Roderick who married Mary McLean about 1780 and from whose son Thomas born 1786 in Fodderty I am descended.

Is it possible that gorski's "Avire Letterlach" is a garbled version of the farm name?

There is a Glastullich in Easter Ross as well as the one near Ullapool
