HELP - John McKenzie

[LeedsHipPriest69]

Hi, I have a John McKenzie born circa 1788 in Newfoundland Canada

By 1824 John was in Pontefract England where he married Sarah Holroyd.

I have no idea when John  or maybe his family moved to England or why.

Any information/help would be appreciated.

In later life John was a soldier, being listed as  Chelsea Pensioner by the 1851 Census.
