Murdo McKenzie's residence ?

[mamad]

Hello,
Kenneth Mackenzie, illegitimate, was born in Elgin, Moray on 20th Feb 1877. His mother was Isabella Ross, born Lochbroom, Ross shire.  His father is named as Murdo Mackenzie, Farmer. Can anyone help to decipher Murdo's residence?
Thanks, Mags

Hi

I think it says Fannich Lodge, Contin but.................

the Fannichs are a distance from Contin

See  http://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=20268 

for instance.

Hello there

I can help to an extend as we have Kenneths original birth certificate, his mother Isabella Ross was my Fathers, Fathers Aunt. It is Fannich Lodge, Contin on the certificate. We've been looking into my Dads family recently as Kenneth died in WW1, 1917.

What is your connection can I ask?

It looks like Murdo Mackay to me.  And does that really say "Farmer" ?

[josey]

Indeed you are right thetowers. Under Isabella Ross is written 'Mother' & under Murdo Mackay is written 'Father'. I wonder if a baptism document shows any different?

If mags is sure that Kenneth's father was a Mackenzie, perhaps 'MacKay' is an error when this document was written?

Lucy - is it any clearer on the original?
