Thank you for this. I believe that will be him.
I've tried to search for deaths of Charles McKenzie's in Angus between the birth of his son in 1903 and 1927 when he is listed as deceased on his son's marriage certificate. None of the ages match at all in this list of deaths.
On searching SP on births of Charles McKenzie's in either 1882 or 1883 there is only one born in Forfar and this is a Charles George McKenzie. This birth is also listed in the catholic registers.
I've not come across the middle name on any documents before, was it usual to leave it out back then?
I also have a feeling that he was in fact not deceased at the time of his son's marriage in 1927. Either that or he emigrated and there is no record of his death in Scotland.
I'm wondering if his son was told incorrect information or if he did lie to the registrar about his father's 'death'. This is getting quite intriguing now.
As far as I was aware all of my family are Church of Scotland and have found no ancestors whom were Catholic other than this Charles George McKenzie. Perhaps this is the reason Charles Snr and Mary Stewart never married?
I will see what else I can find out. I'm going to go with Charles George being my G Grandfather. Nothing else fits.
