MacKenzie's of Fodderty and Ullapool

[gorski]

Hi there
All I have is a small scrap of paper headed with the name Hector Mackenzie and what I assummed was a wife's name but of course it could be a place name. From this heading details drop down in two lines one showing sons Thomas and Kenneth but dropping down from another line are the names Roderick, Alexander and Colin so whether these are half borthers or what I'm not sure. I can follow the line of Thomas Mackenzie down to  my Grandfather Thomas Joesph Mackenzie born1866 but have no details of his brother Kenneth or details of thier uncle also named Kenneth Mackenzie who was a farmer at Glastullech. However I do have some hand written letters from what I believe to be from someone called "Alex Rupete" who wrote to his mother via my great, great grandad father Thomas Mackenzie School Master Shore Street Ullapool dated 1840 sent from HMS Vanguard and another from him addressed to his uncle (no name) dated1844. If any of this links in with the research that your doing please let me know.

this is getting interesting... i have  small piece of paper headed "Extract from a genealogical table" as follows:

(1) Hector Mackenzie. Tenant at Arrieletterach
(2) Roderick son of the foregoing. Tenant at Kinlochluichart
(4) Thomas,     "                "
(12) Roderick   "                "
(22) Thomas    "                "            10 Society Place, Brown Sq, Edinburgh
(  )  Alexander  "               "             3 Grindlay Street, Edinburgh

~~~~~~~~~

(22) Thomas was born 1786 in Heights of Auchterneed, Strathpeffer, Fodderty and died in 1862 in Edinburgh; he was my 2G grandfather.

Is this information compatible with your table?

I'm not sure whether we can establish a link but for Hector Mackenzie I have on line one, two sons Kenneth Mackenzie Farmer Glastullech and Thomas Mackenzie, my great great grandfather who was married Magdalene More(?) who had two sons the eldest being Peter a merchant who married Mary Reid from Skye parents of my great grandfather. I do not know anything about line two showing children of Hector's listed as Roderick, Alexander and Colin in that order. Thomas Mackenzie was the School Master in Shore Street Ullapool in 1840 and in his later years was paymaster clerk Feneiblis. I also have a copy of a will for Thomas Mackenzie dated 1843 appointing a Hector Mackenzie Agent Ullapool as executor so not sure why the same name heads the scrap of paper with the family tree. Confussed I am

Still trying to pin down the Mc(Mac)Kenzies of Fodderty, Killearnan Parish from 1800's.  Mary McKenzie married Malcolm McDonald  (widower) in January 1820 in Lewiston, and I know  she had a brother Murdoch McKenzie, born abt. 1793 in Fodderty.  Anyone help me further? 
Mary and Malcolm McDonald had at least two sons - Murdoch born 1821 in Urquhart (and Glenmoriston) and William Hughin born 1825 ditto.
 Does anyone have these people in their Scottish tree?   Ruth MacLeod in Australia

To jmackenzie:  I believe I have larger version of the same information as the numbering matches.  The document I have is a large chart, hand-written.  It relates to the death of Colin MacKenzie in South America I believe, who died without issue.  The written is old and at times difficult to read.
1) Hector tenant at Arrieletterach
children
2) Roderick tenant at Kinlochluichart
3) Colin (died no issue)
4) Thomas
5) Alexander
6) Isabella married Donald Macleman(?) (Eoghai?) Kirk Officer Lochcarron
7) Elizabeth married Lachlan MacKenzie Torfinlay
Christian married Kenneth MacKenzie Fairburn

The testator is a grandson of Roderick(1).

Sorry to but into someone else query...the opportunity is too great o pass up!

Does anyone of these family lines have a (Margaret, named on a death cert of Charles) McKenzie marrying a (Robert also on death cert) McPherson or MacPherson?

 They had a son Charles my direct line b c1809 -d1860 who married Elizabeth Ross. I have never been able to find Charles' Parents, they are  from same areas.
Any clues out there?

Hi,

I should be very interested to know what marriages are shown on your chart between MacKenzies and Gillanders.
