Thanks for the offer of a lookup.

I am looking for the burial site of JOHN MACKENZIE and his wife ISOBEL STEWART of KILLEARNAN PARISH.  JOHN was known as "JOHN MACKENZIE, BUTCHER of KILCOY, on the baptism record of his grandchildren in 1795+." So he died after that date.  Looking for confirmation of their burial in Killearnan Burial Ground.  Any help appreciated....

Weemary:

You said that JOHN MACKENZIE died in 1801 and his wife Isobel died in 1873. Is 1873 the correct date for Isobel, becasue that is 72 years after the death of JOHN MACKENZIE? Can yoou check the date for Isobel again, becasue if you mis-typed the date for Isobel, then this may be the husband and wife I am loolking for!

Thanks for your time and effort.

Took me ages to find it again -  it is listed under Mckenzie and not Mackenzie -  hope it is  your family

It's number 252 in the MI book  Killearnan Churchyard Black Isle

In memory of John McKenzie, farmer in Wellhouse of Kilcoy who died  2nd Jan 1800 aged 70 years; and of Isobel McKenzie, his spouse who dies 4th march 1783 aged 55 years; also in memory of Kenneth McKenzie, son of Colin McKenzie, farmer in Redcastle who died 19th march 1818 aged 21 years; and of Duncan his son who dies 10th August aged 36 years. This stone is erected by Colin McKenzie & Barbra McLennan.

Interesting my family were in redcastle and my 3x grt grandfather was the oldest tenant to die on the state of Kilcoy   our families must have know each other
