Donald McKenzie b 1836, Boularderie, Victoria County, Nova Scotia

[kiwicatz]

Trying to find great Uncle Donald McKenzie, who stayed in NS when the rest of the family went to NZ aboard Breadalbane in 1857. His wife's name may have been Christina Kaiser, and they may have married in Ontario 1868. He was abt 21 when the rest of the family left.
This may or may not be him in 1851

Christina Kaiser born about 1847 and aged 21 years - Father Christian Kaiser and Mother Barbara
married Donald McKenzie born 1839 and aged 29 years - Fathers Name Alexander McKenzie and Mother Barbara. Marriage 7 July 1868 Galt Waterloo Ontario.

Those parents wouldn't match the 1851 census for Donald.

Hello Sandra
I think the first one may apply but with these Scottish people and their ever repeated names who really know.

The second one is definitely not him - this Donald was born in Nova Scotia.

And Christina Kaiser couldn't be his wife - his father was Alexander 'Mhor' McKenzie b Gairloch Scotland married Ann Fraser b abt 1802 maybe Scotland, maybe NS 25 July 1825 Boularderie.

Ths is probably a wild goose chase, but I have to keep trying.
Thank you

Jan,
There is a Donald McKenzie in my family born 8 Feb 1836 in Big Bras d'Or Nova Scotia.  His parents are Hector McKenzie and Janet Mac Donald.  I think they were both from Scotland.  He married Mary McRae on 20 March 1862 in Middle River Nova Scotia. Donald died in 3 May 1917 in Boularderie Nova Scotia.  Their children were Jessie, Charles, Donald, James, Alex, Adam, Ann Christina, john A and John Hector (who is my great grandfather).  Donald had the following brothers and sisters : Alexander, Ann Catherine, Duncan, John K Roderick, and Murdoch b- 1826.
