Hello Frances
Would it be possible for you to let me have a copy of the 1841 census of Gairloch too?
I'm trying to determine whether my GG-grandfather John Mackenzie (born in Gairloch around 1800) is the same John Mackenzie who was baptised there on 20 September 1799, the son of Hector Mackenzie (tacksman of Inverasdale, and descended from the Mackenzies of Sand) and his wife Margaret Morison.
Unfortunately, neither the certificate for my John Mackenzies's death in Alvie in Inverness-shire in 1875, nor the parish register entry for his marriage in Kirkmichael in Perthshire in 1832, mentions the name of his mother. Only his father's name (Hector Mackenzie) is on the death record.
The 1799 John had a sister Isobell, who was baptised on 20 April 1794, and my John had a sister Isabela, who was with him in Moulin in Perthshire in 1851. Unfortunately, I can't make out whether her age is 54, which is about right, or 34, which would make her much too young to be the 1794 one.
My John was a gamekeeper, and I e-mailed the Gairloch Heritage Museum a couple of months ago to see whether they have any records that would mention a John Mackenzie who went off to Perthshire. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they do!
My e-mail address is (*).
Best wishes
Alan
