Hello all,
trying to find civil reg and census data for Assynt after 1881, and cannot see any census data for Assynt at all! Did Assynt declare independance?
The family I am looking at was at Torbreck in Assynt, in 1881, Kenneth McKenzie then 67 years old, born Assynt. His wife Susanna age 54, born at Badentarbat (a place in Coigach, Lochbroom).
I have a fair bit of background on Susanna (many spelling variations), it is Kenneth I was hoping to find a death reg for...
Kenneth was I think in the 1841 census at Torbreck, aged 25-29;
Kenneth McKenzie / 25 / Independent Means
George McKenzie / 14
Janet McKenzie / 60
Christina McLeod / 20 / Female Servant
William Ross / 15 / Male Servant
Kenneth, Christina, and William born in County, the other two elsewhere in Scotland.
Young George in the household was I think christened 21 June, 1827 at Achnahaird in Coigach, his mother Margaret was from Torbreck, and died a few years after marriage. His father Donald was a son of the Tacksman of Achnahaird, brother of the father of the Susanna who later married Kenneth above....
Appreciate any help!!
Donald.

Hi Donald
Not sure what is going on at SP, but a likely entry for them on a different 1891 census index:
Kenneth McKenzie 77, crofter, b. Assynt
Susan McKenzie 64, b. Lochbroom
William McKenzie 35, son, b. Assynt
Betsy McKenzie 31, daughter, b. Assynt
Catherine McKenzie 67, sister in law, b. Lochbroom
Address: K McK's Ho, Assynt
Regards.
Monica

With a birth year of 1814 +/- 5 years, these are the only deaths coming up for a Kenneth M*cKen* in Sutherland post 1891:
1 1893 MCKENZIE KENNETH M 78 STOER /SUTHERLAND 044/02 0001
2 1893 MCKENZIE KENNETH M 76 STOER /SUTHERLAND 044/02 0041
Now, from the 1891 Census info I posted before, the full refs. showing for that entry were:
Registration Number: 44/2
Registration district: Stoer
Civil parish: Assynt
County: Sutherland
I wonder therefore whether the death entries showing above include Assynt deaths?
Kenneth's entry could be either of the above - not much between them 
Regards.
Monica

A likely entry for Susannah, also showing under Stoer (was her maiden name also McKenzie?):
1901 MCKENZIE SUSANNAH 74 STOER /SUTHERLAND 044/02 0022

Thanks Monica!
I have pulled up a number of regs now, yes, Torbreck is listed as in Stoer, looks like with civil registration the Parish of Assynt was divided into separate reg districts.... the things I do not know could fill encyclopoedias!
A likely entry for Susannah, also showing under Stoer (was her maiden name also McKenzie?):
Yup, thats her.... her father was William MacKenzie, Tacksman of Badentarbat, her mother Elizabeth was a McGregor from Fortingall in Perth (prominant family there, 17 generations of genealogy). Her father was part of the "Mackenzie of Corry" family, who were Tacksmen at Achnahaird in Coigach from the early 1700s to the mid 1850s. See http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~coigach/corrie.htm Susanna is in that descent chart at 1-1-3-3
All the best,
Donald.
