I have come across papers, unrelated to me, regarding William MacKenzie who married Elizabeth Boyd on 26th October 1852. He was a Gas manager in Dunfermline at that time. They had 8 children John born at Greenock 20th August 1853; Daniel Boyd born Cupar 8th December 1854; Jessie Johnstone born Cupar 22nd June 1856; William born Cupar 13th October, 1856; Elizabeth Boyd born Cupar 15th August 1861; James born Cupar 15th August 1863; Henry born Dunfermline 21st November 1866; John born Dunfermline 4th November 1869.All this information is handwritten and is an extract from the family Bible of the above William MacKenzie
There are also papers relating to Daniel MacKenzie who married Nelly Brown on 2nd April 1879. At that time he was a gaswork engineer and lived at Steven Street, Glasgow. They had a daughter Nelly Brown MacKenzie who was born at 158 Raeberry Street, Glasgow on 25th February 1886.
Also there is a birth certificate for Elizabeth MacKenzie who was born on 14th October 1883 in Dunoon. Her parents were Daniel Boyd MacKenzie and Nelly Brown MacKenzie.
None of the above are related to me but I would be really pleased to find any living relatives to pass on these very old and interesting papers. They were found in an old writing slope type of box which has a secret compartment. Any relative is welcome to have the box too.

Just somewhere to start from:
Daniel B McKenzie in the 1881 Scotland Census Name: Daniel B McKenzie Age: 26 Estimated birth year: abt 1855 Relationship: Head Spouse's name : Nelly McKenzie Gender: Male Where born: Cupar, Fife Registration Number: 644/1 Registration district: Bridgeton Civil Parish: Glasgow Barony County: Lanarkshire Address: 4 Davidson St Occupation: Gas Works Engineer ED: 65 Household schedule number: 76 LINE: 6 Roll: cssct1881_216 Household Members: Name Age Daniel B McKenzie 26 Nelly McKenzie 26 Wm McKenzie 1
So far, I don't see them on later censuses.
Presumably Elizabeth's birth:
MCKENZIE ELIZABETH F 1884 510/1 6 Dunoon
Nelly Brown Mackenzie's birth:
MACKENZIE NELLY BROWN F 1886 644/9 375 Kelvin
and her death in infancy:
MACKENZIE NELLY BROWN 0 1887 644/9 191 Kelvin

Her death:
STENHOUSE JESSIE 70 1926 424/ 445 Dunfermline
|
Trying to follow Jessie's children forward - Stenhouse being a much less common name than MacKenzie!
STENHOUSE ANDREW M 1887 424/ 160 Dunfermline
Well, not such an unusual name after all! There are several marriages in Fife of men named Andrew Stenhouse, unfortunately.
Two possible deaths:
STENHOUSE ANDREW 79 1966 685/5 766 George Square
STENHOUSE ANDREW 85 1971 709/ 37 Haddington
|
Andrew's sister Lizzie's birth:
STENHOUSE ELIZABETH BOYD F 1894 424/ 349 Dunfermline
She never married, so presumably had no descendants:
Her death -
STENHOUSE ELIZABETH BOYD 87 MCKENZIE 1981 432/ 641 Dunfermline
