Just found this posting:

Looking for any info on Alexander MacKenzie born Jan 1823 in Contin and believe he died March 1899. I believe his father was William MacKenzie born May 1806 in Parish of Contin.
Any information would be useful
Thanks

Thanks Gnu

Maddie - if he died in 1899 - have you not viewed his death cert to get his parents names and mothers maiden name?

Of particular interest~

From the burial records of Cambusnethan cemetery -
ALEXANDER McKENZIE, quarryman, Wishaw, aged 66 years, married.
Parents - Donald McKenzie & Isabella McCrae.
Interred in plot D121, 25th October 1888.
There may have been some confusion with the parents of Alexander who died in 1888, looks as though the widow's name was entered where his mother's name should have been. Or, his mother may also have been an Isabella McCrae, you would have to check the death certificate.
The IGI has a marriage for Aleander McKenzie and Isabella Macrae on 30th December 1853 at Urray, Ross & Cromarty.
There is also someone from Helensburgh making submissions for this family on the IGI.

I've checked the death cert on SP as it looks as if I'd accessed it before,  so no credits to pay. The parents are given as


Donald McKenzie, farmer (deceased) and Isabella M.S McRae  (deceased)
