Donald McKenzie b.1829 Latheron Caithness

[Aussiebird]

Donald appeared on record when he married Isabella McKay/McKey in Golspie in 1855. I cannot trace him back to his parents or ancestors at all.

He retired to Bonar with his daughter in the 1901 census but I cannot find his death or burial. His wife is buried in Hebron.

Does anyone else have him in their tree?

I am overwhelmed with the information to my post yesterday.

Unfortunately I have the death Certificate for the death of Donald McKenzie in Bonar in 1901 and I cannot make it fit my GGrandfather. The death cert says that he is the widower of Catherine Ross, father Alexander Mackenzie and mother Margaret Murry and it was reported by his son David. This does not fit my family, so if it belongs to anyone else I can email a copy.

My Donald's only son was John who immigrated to Australia in 1882.

I am still checking the earlier census from Pam and it is looking very hopeful and may fit in somewhere.His daughter in Bonar with him in retirement in the 1901 census was Margaret McKenzie.

Thank you very much.
