Trying to find the bride

[EdCan]

Allan Campbell(28) married Jessie Ann Mackenzie Cunningham(24) 27 Sep 1912 Fodderty, Ross & Cromarty. Allan's parents were Alexander Campbell(Ploughman) and Catherine McDonald. Jessie's parents are shown as David Cunningham(farmer) and Jessie Ann Mackenzie. On the marriage record the bride's MacKenzie name has a line drawn through it.
I have found Allan in 1891 and 1901 but Jessie is a puzzle prior to the marriage. After the marriage the family moved to Ontario, Canada and lived in St Thomas where they are buried.   Some records show Jessie as Cunningham and some as McKenzie.
I have looked for Jessie birth 1887/88 both as Cunningham and Mc/MacKenzie with no luck. Same for census. Also looked for Cunningham/MacKenzie marriage with no luck.
Canadian records show Allan born 1884 and Jessie 1887. No birth record found for Allan

Assistance appreciated

No birth record found for Allan

Probably this one, the family is in Kiltearn in 1901 and Allan is said to be born in Killearnan.

Have you had a look at and eliminated this birth?

MACKENZIE, JESSIE ANN
Mother's maiden surname: MACKENZIE
1886
066 / 2 / 10
Gairloch Southern

If her mother didn't marry her father but married somebody else, then you may need to look for them under a different surname.  Who were the marriage witnesses and what was Jessie's address?

  Who were the marriage witnesses and what was Jessie's address?

Yes, I have the same questions, and what was her occupation.


Have you looked at this census? It should tell you WHERE she was born.
1911 census in Fodderty     Ref 065/ 6/ 8
CUNNINGHAM, ANNIE JESSIE, 24
There is a 2 yr old child with her named Jessie Ann Cunningham.

I think your couple have a child named Jessie Ann (age 19 born Ross-shire) who gets married in Canada in 1928.


This is the child's birth record - may well tell you something useful.
CUNNINGHAM,  JESSIE ANN MCKENZIE

Perhaps this is birth you are looking for. (I would check out the 1911 census first)

Annie Jessie Cunningham born 1887 Inverness (no Mother maiden name on index)  ref 098 / 523

In 1891 census she is in Fodderty (age 3, born Inverness) with the McKenzie family. Head of house is Roderick McKenzie, a flesher/ butcher born abt 1826 in Gairloch

In 1901 census the same child is now Annie J MacKenzie age 12, “a friend born Inverness”  , in the same Household.

In the same house - Jessie McKenzie (possible mother for Anne Jessie would have been a VERY young mother) born 1876 Fodderty.  So unlikely.
However there are a couple of potential fathers for Annie Jessie in that house.
And I think her mother was a Cunningham - her name will be on the birth certificate.

Useful to see the 1881 census for MacKenzie family in Fodderty

Thanks. I will have a look at your suggestions. The witnesses for Jessie at the marriage were Wm McLeod and Catherine Mackenzie

At time of marriage Jessie was a Domestic

Hi Ed
It would be good to know what information those certificates from Scotlands People contain.

Birth record shows dob 18 Oct 1887 Inverness. Father was David Cunningham(Shepherd) and mother was Jessie Mackenzie(Domestic Servant). Tallies nicely with marriage record.
