Photos of the Archibald McKenzie Family

These photos were provided by Dianna, a descendant of Isabella Mitchell McKenzie, Ann Simson McGregor.  Archibald Grewar McKenzie was her step-father.







Archibald Grewar McKenzie
(1825-1914)
and
Isabella Mitchell McKenzie
(1825-1874)
and unknown child

Archibald Grewar McKenzie and Isabella Mitchell McKenzie were married on 24 November 1850 in  Glenisla, Angus, Scotland.  They were the parents of nine children.


This photo was labeled as Archibald Grewar McKenzie and three unknown nieces.  Nieces would have to be children of his siblings.  Catherine McKenzie Anderson two daughters that lived to adulthood would have been in the USA.  His sister, Isabella McKenzie Jones, never had children.  We don't have information on his brother, John, past the 1841 census.   If these are nieces, it would give us some clues in looking for John.  Perhaps these are in fact granddaughters?  I wonder if these are really the three daughters of Archibald's daughter, Isabella (b. 4 Dec 1852).  The daughters are Jesse (30  April 1873) , Jemima (b. abt 1876) , and Jane (b. abt 1879) in Dundee.
