Only one birth entry fits

MACKENZIE ALEXANDRINA 1906  064/ 41 Fearn (Ross)

There is also

MACKENZIE   PETER JOHN FRAS (probably Fraser) 1908  064/ 15  Fearn (Ross)

Just to make life easier, Mary (wife) was a Fraser.

No, she wasn't a second wife, there is another son, Donald, who is not on this Census, so I suppose had left home (?) he MAY have fitted in there and the Census tells me that they had 6 children, so, again the deceased child may have slotted in there.

Thank you. I have them both.
I want to get back another generation, but, I can't find out if Alexander was the one smith who wandered about, or if there were several Alexander MacKenzies who were all Blacksmiths.

The birth certificates for the children all tell me that Alexander and Mary were married in Govan, but I can find no record of that marriage. I suppose they were married around 1890-94??

From Scotlands People

ALEXANDER MCKENZIE/ MARY FRASER  1890  646/2 7  Govan

Strange they should marry in Govan when they were both from Inverness

The story is that Alexander wanted to be an engineer and so went to Glasgow to train. However, they were married before they left the Highlands.....'twould seem that they were not! There may be an interesting story here...or not.
Thank you so much. Can you tell me how I get to look at this entry?

You would need to buy credits on Scotlands People to download the marriage cert.  Did you download Alexandrina's birth cert to confirm Mary was nee Fraser or did you already have that info?

Yes, I have Alexandrina's birth certificate and that of all the other children, bar Donald and the unknown deceased child.
I have credits, but I cannot find this marriage certificate. Whenever I put this info into the site it comes up with nothing. Must like better :)

I found the entry on the free index so if you just input the names and year it should come up as it's the only entry in 1890

Bizarrely, I have done this several times and I keep getting 'no results'.  :-\

Is it permissible to post the link you got to work?

Have you noticed that the surname is spelt McKenzie and not MacKenzie - could that be why you are having problems
