Mackenzie family

[strogger]

I have a Colin Mackenzie born abt. 1840 in Assynt. I believe his father is Duncan Mackenzie born 1791 in Lairg who married Anne Mackenzie on 29 Dec 1818 in Assynt. His father I believe was Duncan Mackenzie born abt. 1768.
I believe his father was possibly Hugh Mackenzie who married Isabel Gilmore Sept 22 1755.
Can anyone verify the above please?

Scotlands People have a death that may be of interest, for Colin's mum?

Can't see anything for Duncan, perhaps he died outwith Stoer, or before 1855.

Hope that helps a little

Hi my name is Patrick Mcqueenie it seems that this surname is associated with the Mackenzie Clan, it is also associated with Ireland, my Mother was Mary Mackenzie and she married my Father Patrick Mcqueenie strange coincidence or what, if any one out there knows how the Irish Mcqueenies were affiliated to the Scottish Clan Mackenzie i would be obliged for your input thank you Patrick Mcqueenie of the Clan Mackenzie

Hi Patrick,

Does the following website help?

http://www.houseofnames.com/macqueenie-family-crest

I've a lot of M(a)cQueen's in my family.  They hailed from Balmacqueen (translates as "Village of the MacQueens" in Gaelic) in the north of Skye.

How far have you got back to with your McQueenie line?

Kind regards,

A
