Roderick McKenzie & Mary Macdonald

[kenzie56_99]

Hi there

I'm new to the list and would appreciate any help.  If searching for Roderick McKenzie who married Mary MacDonald in Lochbroom in Feb. 1823.  They had a son, Finlay born in 1825 in Contin.  I have not been able to go any further in my search. Thanks

Thanks Ev

I've also come across Roderick and Ann.  The only reason I hesitate to make that connection is that on their son Finlay's death registration it lists Mary MacDonald as his mother. 

Thanks for your reply.

After your post I bought some time on Scotland's People and came across the info on Ann and Roderick.  I believe these are Finlays parents.  I had come across this info a few years ago but I wasn't there in my search so didn't make the connection.  Thanks for bringing it to my attention again.  I wonder if Ann could have been Mary Ann.  Or if Ann died and Roderick remarried to Mary.  Oh the mystery of it all.

Again thanks for pointing me in the right direction.,

I have a copy of that page, both are noted as resident at Achendrean, Strathkainaird, given forename patterns I'd guess Roderick or Ann descended from the MacKenzie of Langwell family.

Can see the family in 1841 at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~coigach/achend.htm#41-7

In 1851 at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~coigach/achend.htm#51-33

In 1861 at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~coigach/achend.htm#61-21 Ann away from home then...

In 1871 at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~coigach/achend.htm#71-6 Ann a Widow then

No Finlays at Achendrean... except a 40 year old "Finley Beaton" in 1851.
