Well, sometimes one needs to stand on one's head to find info  ;D. I think this might be the death of Lexy.

McKenzie, Mrs D (as on the record)
Date of death 12 Apr 1919
Age 83
Residence Dalhousie NS (this is where they were apparently living, if I remember correctly)
Married, housewife
Husband Donald McKenzie
Religion Presbyterian
Buried in Dalhousie Cemetery in Dalhousie NS

Record set District 10, River John, Pictou County

The original record is available to view for free at the Nova Scotia Historical Vital Statistics website.

Still no sign of a death record for Donald. I don't know if there is a contact link for the cemetery to check if Donald might be buried with her.

I am extremely happy with all this information especially the last bit as that confirms what I thought was Alexandrina's death.
I am so grateful for all this wonderful info and will keep going  till I connect with the relative that started me on this chase.
Best wishes from Down under

Canada / DONALD MCKENZIE b 8 Feb 1836 Boularderie, Victoria County, Nova Scotia, Canada

This man was my second great uncle and he stayed in Nova Scotia when the rest of his family went to NZ aboad Breadalbane in 1857. And he is the only one I know nothing about.I think he married Alexandrina 'Lexie' McDonald in 1853 in maybe Boularderie, Victoria, NS  no sure about the Boularderie bit. She was born 02 March 1837 not known where but perhaps Boularderie, and died 12 April 1919. They apparently had 10 children.I have a list of what I think are the childrens names.  Donald died 3 May 1917 perhaps South Dalhousie,
I've been 'finding' or not, this family for many years and if I can sort this out it wil be the answer to many questions.
Thanking you in anticipation

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: Found relative in Lewisham Workhouse
« on: Wednesday 15 August 18 03:48 BST (UK)  »
The whole entry was confusing, in fact there were two and funny dates.
So what would a baby have been doing in the workhouse and what would have happened to her?
Thanks

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Found relative in Lewisham Workhouse
« on: Tuesday 14 August 18 15:21 BST (UK)  »
I have been catching up with London and Middlesex Records and found the following:

Does the Ethel Woodley in this record match the person in your tree? 
London, England, Workhouse Admission and Discharge Records, 1764-1930 Lewisham

1910 October
7th Friday     D   Woodley Ethel  Housewife  C of E  20.2.1909 She was aged 19.

Why would she have been in there?

Her mother was Annie Emily Woodley nee Warren  and her husband was Edward Henry Woodley and they married in 1914 on 25 December. She was also in Lewisham Workhouse at some time but I lost the reference. She was born 18 Apr 1888 • Chalk Farm, married and died 17 August 1926 Mddx.

Would much appreciate any assistance.
Regards

London and Middlesex / Edward TOOKEY b abt 1776 Middlesex?
« on: Tuesday 24 July 18 11:09 BST (UK)  »
The only info I have about this man is that he was probably born in Middlesex.

I know that he married Mary Thomson 14 June 1812, she was apparently born 1778 in Edmonton.

I can't find any info about this man except from his marriage onwards.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated - thanks in anticipation.

You have probably resolved this yourself years ago but in case not:
1. Mary Eliza and Charlotte Maria Amy were sisters of Henry John and daughters of Robert Morris PERSTON.
    All 3 children were born in New Zealand.
2. Isabella Jane was a first cousin of Robert Morris. She was born in Glasgow.
3. Ocella Isabella Jane was a sister of Robert Morris.



Hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply. I hadn't got the info.she became my great grandfsther's third wife after she went to NZ.
Regards
