John Mackie Melbourne Australia

[Palies Ruth]

Hi I am looking for any information on a John Mackie born in Nairn Nairn-shire Scotland on 4th October 1886 to John Mackie and Ann Mackie Ms McDonald they married on 29th December 1876 in Nairn. I have looked extensively in Ancestry and have a few possibilities of him on route to Australia. On his fathers death certificate in 1916 John is home and his address on this is Melbourne. When his mother died in 1924 no record to say he was home. Any info would be appreciated.

"....On his fathers death certificate in 1916 John is home and his address on this is Melbourne".

I am not sure what you mean...."home"........is John at his parents' home in 1916 when father dies, and son John is living in Melbourne?....seems unusual to have home address of son on a death certificate.

When John MACKIE senior d. 1916, how is his son John b. 1886  described please.

John MACKIE's service record can be found on National Archives Australia.

Mackie John : SERN 8653 : POB Inverness Scotland : POE Melbourne VIC : NOK W Mackie Miriam Lucy

A quick glance reveals John enlisted in Australia and was given leave around 1916 while in the UK, probably in regards to his father's death.  There is also a marriage record and the last page may have a note for his death in 1934 where he appears to be in Qld.   

Hope that helps a little,
Sashar
