I am also wondering if Mary remarried?

If we can follow Margaret through the census, it should help answer some of your questions...

1870: Boarding House, Provincetown, Barnstable Co., MA
Margrett McKENZIE  36, Keeping House, b Cape Breton
Flora Ann McKENZIE 12, Attending School, b Cape Breton
She appears to be the boarding house Keeper, and has 12 Boarders.

Ambly, you are magnificent!! Duncan is special to me because he was the only child of 2 x great grandfather and grandmother who stayed when the rest of the family went to NZ in 1858.
I would so love to find a descendant.
Thanks again

Thanks so much for this DB
Now I have to find out about Mary A McKenzie - perhaps another relative of Mary S McKenzie from Nova Scotia.
