From the 1851 census.....
Surname First name(s) Rel Status Sex Age Occupation Where Born Remarks
MACKENZIE John Head M M 47 Fisherman Ross and Cromarty -Gairloch
MACKENZIE Isabella Wife M F 28 - Caithness - Wick
MACKENZIE John Son - M 8 - Caithness - Wick
MACKENZIE Alexandrina Dau - F 5 - Caithness - Wick
MACKENZIE Margaret Dau - F 3 - Caithness - Wick
MACKENZIE George Son - M 11m - Caithness - Wick
The age of John ties in with the birth year of 1804. This is the only tie-in I can find! I wonder if they
recorded their ages incorrectly in other years??? OR....as John and Isabella were married in 1840 she would have only been 17 when she was married. I wonder if this accounts for the apparent changes in her age??
Just some ponderings!

And a few more ponderings....a couple of deaths, both in Wick.
1859, George Phimister, Innkeeper, aged 66. Parents were George Phimister - Farmer, and Christina Phimister, maiden surname Bremmer.
1858, George Phimister, Fisherman, aged 68. Parents were John Phimister - Mason, and Isabella Phimister, maiden surname Munro.
The second one fits better with a 1790 birth for George! Plus (for me at least) him being a fisherman
ties in with the rest of the family further down.

Tricia unfortunately the spouses aren't mentioned 
For George the Innkeeper, (d. 1859) the informant is James Phimister, his son.
For George the Fisherman, (d. 1858) the informant is John Phimister, his brother.
James, Phimisters stop with Isabella for me once she became a McKenzie

YAY 
I finally found the death cert of Isabella McKenzie (Phimister). Sometimes it's as much as
the details you leave out as the details you put in that helps turning things up. She died in 1894
Her parents were George Phimister and Alexanderina Wares...so I've finally figured
out the right George. Am just sorting through some of the other details you
posted previously Tricia...bedtime on this side of the world though!

Couldn't sleep....decided to use up my Scotland online credits instead 
George PHIMISTER,1790 -1859 was son of George PHIMISTER ( - ) and Christian BREMNER ( - ), was a Farmer/Innkeeper
Alexandrina WARES, 1791 - 1873 was daughter of James WARES (1761-aft1841) and Isobel GRAY ( -bef1841),
Tricia on the death certificate I found for Alexandrina WARES, (d. 9.1.1873, Wick) her parents are given as James WARES and Ann BREMMER or BREMNER...no Isobel Gray.
This is too confusing.

When i was a boy in Wick there was a family called Phimister who had a large shop in McArthur St. this was in the 1940's and possibly the early 50's but I know little else abot them. the shop then became a Co-operative Haberdashery

James
It seems to run in my mind that some members of the Mcnab family came into this somewhere but would have to check

Who was informant on both? Think both ages are wrong on death.
