Just browsing on the RootsChat website (I'm quite new to this site) and found a chain of posts connecting to my Gillanders & MacLennan families, including yours -my grandmother was Catherine Emily Gillanders, born 1893 in Inverness, daughter of Kenneth Alexander Gillanders (b1855 Contin) and Catherine MacLennan (born 1855 Urray). This Gillanders family emigrated to NZ in 1908 settling in Te Kuiti in the North Island.
Kenneth Alexander Gillanders was son of John Gillanders and Anne Macdonald.
Catherine MacLennan was daughter of John MacLennan and Isabella Harvey.
A lot of the rest of the family are listed in the posts in this chain. One of the posts has a scanned copy of a letter which I think is one I wrote. If interested in that letter + later developments please contact me.

John MacK m:Janet Stewart (Sco) b:1731?
John MacK m:Catherine Ann MacKay (Sco) b:1783?
Kenneth MacK m:Margaret Georgia Butler Smith (Sco) b:1811
Kenneth McK m:Mary Ann McIntosh (Aust) b:1844
Angus Kenneth McK m:Mary Sturgeon Young (NZ) b:1879
Hugh Mcleod McK m:Annie Hazelwood Giles (NZ) b:1915
Ronald Allen McK m: Katherine Mary Fisk (NZ) b:1944
Me b:1970

Any help would be greatly apprieciated as I am majorly stuck and have no info on the McKenzies

Many thanks

Hi, You don't seem to fit into this tree, but I have found 4 births in Tarbat/Fearn to Kenneth Mackenzie & Margaret Butler between 1841 and 1848. Could this be your ancestors?

sorry, no;

But there are marriages to Gollan, Gillanders, McLennan, Macrae, Finlayson, McLean and Fraser.

Mostly lived in Contin, Urray, Lochbroom and Fodderty

Would you mind sharing the McKennzie - Gollan marriages?

[jmackenzie]

Donald Gollan (31 Mar 1809 Urray - 8 Dec 1877 Edinburgh), Policeman in 1861 Census in Edinburgh married Catherine Mackenzie (c.1806 Contin - 27 May 1862 Edinburgh) on 1 May 1835 in Avoch.

I have found 5 of their children : Alexander 1836 Avoch, Roderick 1837 Avoch, Isabella 1840 Urray, Hector 1843 Tibbermore, Mary c. 1845,

(Margaret 1866 Edinburgh, Donald 1871 Edinburgh were born to Donald's 2nd wife Christina Fulton)

Thank you for the quick response.  Unfortunately, no match that I can see.

My Gollan - McKenzie connection:

Gilbert Gollan
c.    26 Mar 1747, Inverness, Inverness, Scotland 
       f.    John Gollan
       m.  Mary McPherson
m.   28 Oct 1768, Inverness, Inverness, Scotland
       Isabell McKenzie
d.    26 Jan 1809, London, England

Isabel McKenzie
b/c. unknown
d.    circa 1812, not sure where, 
       Isabel was living in Edinburgh when she wrote her will.

Gilbert and Isabel lived on St. Vincent.  They had one child that I'm aware of, Gilbert Gollan.  From what I can piece together, he was born circa 1771.  I'm not sure where.  According to Isabel's will, he died on Martinique.  He wasn't mentioned in his father's will, so I'm thinking he died before 1809.

I'm hoping to learn when Isabel was born, who her parents/siblings were, and about her son.

Hi Jackie,
I think you are part of the same tree, a Kenneth did emigrate to Australia while my line stayed in Scotland. Although we may have been in contact a couple of years ago?
Cheers
