I'm back into the early 1800s now and have no Archibalds or any other shoemakers in the family. My threads are blacksmiths and millers. Of course, there will be off shoots which I have not gone after who might be connected in some way, after all they are all MacKenzies. :)

When I search the Familysearch.org site I can find that Hugh Mckenzie married Margaret Ross on the 3rd June 1852 in Inverness.
However, when I search with this info in the SP site I get nothing, neither in the general search nor in the Parish Records. I think I need this info to get back to his parents birth and marriage dates.

Hugh was born on the 21st October 1820, but I know nothing of Margaret.

There are actually quite a few of the family come up one FS but not on SP  :-\
Can anyone help?
Thanks

As the marriage is before the start of official records(1855) it probably wont have parents named  :(

Are you looking in the Church Registers/Banns and marriagsChurch of Scotland Old Parish Registers) ?
Hugh Mckenzie  /  Margaret Ross 03/06/1852(3rd June 1852) Inverness.

The death certificate of Margaret Ross will hopefully name her parents  :)

Ah, now I didn't know that.
Yes, I was looking in parish records, but I didn't know I'd get parents from a death certificate. Thank you. Off on a new dead relative chase.  :D

Exlass, there's an entertaining book about Fearn by an Alastair Phillips called "My Uncle George!" this uncle, George Mackay, was the Free Church Minister. It will be out of print but try online, maybe "Biblio!"

What sort of era was he writing about, Skoosh?

Early 20th century I think, very funny!  ;D  Phillips had a column in the Glasgow Herald!
