hi folks

a wee bit help to find what eventually happened to john mckenzie.(born 1865)

i've got him in the 1871census aged 6 staying at king street in motherwell lanarkshire, with his parents robert and elizabeth (betsy) mckenzie.

in the1881 census he is now staying at st vincent place in motherwell aged 15 with his mother,his father i assume passed on.

in the 1891 census his mother elizabeth (betsy) nee munro is now staying with her daughter catherines family at king street again, her family seemingly broken up and gone their separate ways.

any help on johns movements would be appreciated.

best regards to all in 2013

Can't help you directly, but the IGI has his birth on 10 February 1865 in (the parish of) Dalziel. This should help with later census listings, assuming that he remained in Scotland.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

No sign of a death in Dalziel but there are 4 possibles deaths in Dennistoun which covers the Glasgow Royal Infirmary

hi folks

further to john being in jail as shown in the 1901 census, the local paper (the motherwell times dated 5th april 1901) records a john mackenzie being find 15/- or 10days in jail for using abusive language.

i assume this is my john, so i'll move on and check out other leads.

thanks again for your help
