Alex MacKenz of 3 Rivers in R&C 1851?
« on: Saturday 17 November 07 20:52 GMT (UK) »
Hello all,

Alexander MacKenzie, born 10 November, 1843 at Three Rivers (Trois Rivieres), Quebec, to  Alexander MacKenzie and Mary Traversy. His father died 1850, and Alexander reportedly was from 1850 to 1861 with Catherine MacKenzie at Dingwall. He then enlisted in the Hudson's Bay Company and was sent to what is today western Canada.

I have not found Alex at Dingwall in the 1851 or 1861 census, it might have been a mistake to state he was from there, rather that might just be the place he enrolled in the H.B.C

Anyone see young Alex elsewhere in Scotland?

All the best,

Donald.

there is a alexander born 1835 living in ross and cromarty with catherine
but his birthplace is down as lochcarron
and catherine is down as his mother.
unfortunately i only have ancestry so cannot check the actual image to see if it has been mistranscribed.
if you want me to post the full entry then i will do so.

Hiya Wozzle,

might be mistranscriptions, but does not look a good enough match, with both the birthplace and relationship to Catherine wrong.

Pretty certain Alex was orphaned, and his mother (likely an Indian) was Mary, I expect to find Catherine to be an aunt.

Thanks,

Donald.
