Looking for any one who has a Murdoch Mackenzie and Christian Gunn on their family tree. They were married in Kildonan in 1808 and came to Caithness around 1813/14. Can't find any siblings and when Murdoch died in 1860 unfortunately his parents weren't known. He always said in the census returns that he came from Kildonan but I wounder if it was Rossshire?
Is he someone's brother?
Thanks
Carly

Hi Lindy lou,
You will find them under Murdock Mckinzie in Kildonan 1.1.1808. Their first born I think was Alexander so I presume his father was Alexander but they were a family who didn't seem too keen to name their children in the usual order, just to confuse matters!

Hi Elizabeth,
I think my Murdoch was born around 1770's so the family you have are maybe a bit later but who knows ? It is so difficult to work it out.
Thanks anyway,
Carly

Have you had a look at Timespan Helmsdale
if you google it and have a look there is an archivist there she may can help you .She was a Poulson but we weren't sure if there was a relationship she is going to look into it as I left her all the copies I had taken with me
When were up there the owner of the B&b who is also the village postman said there's not many McKenzie's around there now
We went through Kildonon and there were just ruins there I would have loved to have stopped to have a look around but as it was raining and we needed to get on the road for Fraserburgh we didn't stop
We do intend to do it again another year
Elizabeth
