Thank you. I have been using Ancestry and My Heritage a lot but probably got wood information from Scotland’s People. I will look at Find My Past.

Here's the Ancestry transcript:

Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.

If you don't ask the question, you won't get an answer.

I found Heny/Henny Mckenzie on 1841 census in Farr, Sutherland with Neil and John McKenzie, not her husband.

Apologies, I'm now sure that the transcript I put up is not the right one.

See https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=714261.0
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Trish, the entry you found on Familysearch, I think this might be the transcript on a/try:

Henny McKenrie 74 tenant of lands b. Assynt, sutherlandshire
Barbra McKenrie 45
William McKenrie 43 Fisherman
John McKenrie 34
Christina McKenrie 32 visitor general servant
Isabella McKenrie 15 servant
Murdo Wilson 12 grandson

Address: Inverkirkaig, Stoer, Sutherland

Can't see a death with the two surnames of McKay/McKenzie. Not sure if this Henny's children tie up with what has been discussed.

Possible this Henny shows as Mary in 1851 entry in Inverkirkaig. Transcribed  Mckenzer. Showing with children Barbara and Wlliam and grandson Murdo Huson aged 2 (Murdo Wilson from 1861?).
