Donald McKenzie 1820 - ?
« on: Friday 17 December 10 00:31 GMT (UK) »
Looking for any infomation on Donald McKenzie bapt. 7 October 1820 in Arinagour, Isle of Coll. Son of John McKenzie (Pensioner & Crofter - born Inverness-shire) and Elizabeth "Betsy" Sutherland of Canongate, Edinburgh.

I'm almost certain that Donald Married Mary McKinnon on 23 January 1850 on Coll and have found them in 1851 Living in 12 Grisapool, Tyree & Coll with Mary's Father Lachlan McKinnon. Donald's occupation is Master of a Tradings Mack (Whatever that may be). Mary McKinnon was born 1823, Isle of Muck and her Occupation is given as a Sea Captains Wife. Does this have some connection with a Master of a Tradings Mack???

Donald's father John dies in 1857 and Donald certifies the Death with his "X" mark showing that he was present. However, i cannot find Donald & Mary in 1861, or find a Death for Donald between 1857 & 1861 nor for Mary, nor can i find any children born to Donald & Mary after their Marriage. I haven't been able to find any emmigration records for them either. I am descended from Donald's older brother John and there was one definate other brother, Allan and a possible brother, George. Unfortunately i haven't been able to trace family from either Allan or George so im hoping Donald may be able to bring me some more McKenzie's!

I'd appreciate any help!  :)

Think you'll find 'Master of Tradings Mack' is actually Master of Trading Smack.   If you 'google' Trading Smack you can find out a bit about them.

Hi Keelan,

I can't provide any new information about your ancestors, but what an amzing coincidence, my 3xGGparents were nextdoor neighbours to your ancestors at Grishipol!!  My ancestors departed Coll on the Persian in 1857 and emigrated to Australia.

Good luck with your search,

Suzanne.
