Hi there

Sorry, I meant that Jean (Mackenzie) Muirson died in 1824 aged about 37 at Kinkell Castle.

I need to double check the birth & death of Jane Urquhart and see if I can find any divorce papers for Cochrane & Sir Hector.  Thanks again for your help.

hi there

I doubt it very much.  All the information we have found says that she was a socialite and always away in London and they divorced without having any children.  I  presume Sir Hector wanted children to carry on the line!!!

Hi there

Jane Urquhart & Sir Hector were never married. hence no divorce!  If I remember rightly, Sir Hector's will did not mention his illegitimate children.    It is a very long will, but I will look at it again.  Thanks

We don't have the exact birth dates of Jane Urquhart and Sir Hector's three children, but we recently came across an article that they might have had five children together.

Hi there
Thank you for your prompt response.  I am pretty sure it is not the same William Mackenzie as the William Mackenzie born in 1799 died in France in 1858.
I have a copy of a letter written by Sir Hector Mackenzie, Conan House, which states William Mackenzie was born on 12 January 1787.  This letter was dated 29th February 1803, obviously as proof of birth to join the Indian Army.  Also another letter re his debts dated 4th July 1807.  So he obviously died prior to that date, which would have made him about 30yrs when he passed away.  It would only let me post any documents as it says they are too large.  If you wish I can email them to you.
