I wouldn't be surprised if your John's sister is the Marion who married George Graham in 1879.  They're living with her parents in 1881.

I think the identity of your John's parents is solvable and the records you need are in the Statutory records at ScotlandsPeople.  The births of the Catherines I listed should find a likely couple.

There are three Mary MacKenzies registered in 1862 to 1865 in Stornoway (all 3 were registered in 1862) and a Mary Ann in 1863 (I think she is unlikely if she has a sister called Marion).  I'd start with the Marys as there are fewer .  Hopefully one of them is the daughter of Roderick and Mary/Margaret.  Then to confirm I would gte the marriage of Marion McKenzie to George Graham in 1879.  If her parents are Roderick and Mary/Margaret (with Mary/Margaret having the same maiden name as in Catherine's record) then it is likely you have the correct couple. 

Do you have an image rather than a transcription of John's marriage in Quebec?

CaroleW is probably looking at a transcription of the 1851 census.  The actual images can be viewed at  ScotlandsPeople.

Yes - only transcripts are available unless you download the full image from SP.  Always possible he was 9 days old but transcribed as 9 months

There is a birth record for Murdo (possibly John's brother) McKenzie on Anc, birth Sept 1841, baptism Nov 1842 Stornoway with parents Roderick Mckenzie & Mary Maciver which does seem to link with the family on the 1861 but mother Margaret?

Hmm,

A couple of thoughts  ???

Could Mary on the census actually be Marg?

1861 clearly says Margaret but the rest have Mary?

I think you need the original for 1871 probably?

I can see a likely family in 1871 at Back but John isn't with them.

Roderick   MacKenzie   Head   Married   Male   60   
Mary   MacKenzie   Wife   Married   Female   55   
Murdo   MacKenzie   Son   Unmarried   Male   30
Marion   MacKenzie   Daughter   Unmarried   Female   24   
Christiana   MacKenzie   Daughter   Unmarried   Female   16
Annie   MacKenzie   Mother   Widow   Female   23   (transcription error with her age?)
Catherine   MacKenzie   -   -   Female   10   
Mary   MacKenzie   Daughter   -   Female   7   

At Gress Farm?
John   MacKenzie   Servant   Unmarried   Male   19   1852   Farm Labourer

I've working on Granny, who will not be 23!

Marriages recorded on ScotlandsPeople in Stornoway from 1800 to 1816 where an Anne married a MacKenzie are:

MACKENZIE JAMES   ANNE MACLEOD.   20/12/1810

John MacKenzie & Ann McLean. 29/11/1816

William MacKenzie & Annabella McIver.  14/12/1807

Isabella MacKenzie, aged 13 and born in Back is a visitor with an Ann McLeod aged 60 in 1861.  They're at Coll Rd, Stornoway. It says Ann is unmarried but perhaps she meant widowed?  It says Ann was born at Portrola.

Many thanks to all. I'm sure I have the right John Roderick Mckenzie and family.
