Hello Listers
I know this is a lot to ask, but I wondered if someone has access to check a
marriage for me - the info I have has Alexander MacKenzie (son of Duncan
Bhan MacKenzie and Janet MacDonald) marrying Annie Fraz (or s)er in
Inverness on 30 July 1819. I would be indescribably grateful.

I am also looking for links with the abovementioned families:

Murdoch MacKenzie (B abt 22/2/1825) married Ann MacLean in Melvaig - they
moved to Inverness (2 Albert Street) - this house was demolished when
swimming pool built.
They had children:
Duncan MacKenzie
Alexander (Dhu) MacKenzie
Anne
Jessie
(sorry, no dates known)
Duncan married Anne Chisholm of Melvaig - they had a grocers shop on Kenneth
Street, Inverness.
Alexander (Dhu) MacKenzie married Elisa MacLean -he was an overseer on the
Flowerdale Estate, Gairloch. They were perhaps cousins or related in some
way.

I am also trying to trace a James Frazer who married Barbara Cameron I would
think late 1700's, only place I have is Ross-shire. They had 6 children:
Simon
Archie
Christie
Flora
Annie (my gx3 gmother) born abt 1802
Bella
The family may have emigrated to Nova Scotia and then to NZ - or perhaps
Annie married in Inverness and emigrated with her husband, whatever Annie
married Alexander (Mhor) MacKenzie born abt 19/11/1798.I have no idea when
they went to NS, whether separately or together, but I have their eldest
son, William MacKenzie, being born in Cape Breton in 1826.
This brick wall has driven me nuts for years!! I would give anything, almost
to find out how and when Alexander went to Nova Scotia. He was part of the 5
groups that later folllowed Rev Norman MacLeod from Nova Scotia to New
Zealand, but I have found no evidence that he was a Normanite himself.

The MacKenzies, MacLeans, MacDonalds plus Chisholms, MacLennans seemed to
intermarry quite a bit.

Was it common for people in those days to marry after children were born?
I have Alexander being born in 1798 and his sister Anna b abt 30/8/1803 and
an brother Murdoch in 1806 and the parents Duncan MacKenzie abd Janet
Macdonald marrying in 1807.

This is a bit jumbled, I hope it makes sense - oh why does each generation
have the sames names - so frustrating!!
In Hope
