Can I just ask, how do you know his mother was named Margaret?

What was his Father's occupation on his marriage?

The 1901 Irish census appears to indicate James was born in Edinburgh.

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,

Using birth year 1857 - 1861 strangely there's no James M(a)cKenzie anywhere in Scotland  ???

Can someone else check that index please, not sure if it's working properly for me, been having problems with comp & SP lately?


MaxD,

I should have said I'd checked them hence the reason I didn't post as no names fitted.

The 1901 Irish census appears to indicate James was born in Edinburgh.

Thanks Isobel.

From that with a range 1857 - 1863 there were 8 of which had no middle name & 7 with a middle name.

What was the names of James' 1st son & 2nd daughter as this may give a clue to his parents names?

Yes isobelw, we have been here before as you say.  The difference is this time we have some concrete facts to work with, the last time was a lot of speculation.  I am still no farther in knowing this line of my family and I would dearly love to.  Is there some way of linking the James McKenzie who served in the military and a family with a James McKenzie born in Dundee?  I don't think we are quite there yet.
Thanks for your help to date,

I searched familysearch & couldn't find a James born Dundee/Angus to a Thomas or a John as MaxD has posted.

There's no way of linking him without further investigation but I have a feeling he may have been illegitimate i.e. Indexed under his mother's maiden name?

How do you know his mother was Margaret & what were the names of the children I asked about in an earlier post please?

What was his Father's occupation on his marriage(s)?

We may be able to find someone relating to that occupation as a possible lead?
