Island story
Duncan MacKenzie is commemorated at R6-011 with the older Duncan and Hannah MacKenzie. His death registration records his death on Pictou Island on 2 March 1926, age seventy-five, names Duncan MacKenzie and Hannah MacKenzie as his parents, and describes him as a single carpenter. It records burial on Pictou Island on 4 March. The certificate reports a 10 December birthday without a year; the memorial records 1851–1926. The 1881 census includes a Duncan McKenzie, aged 30, in family 8 with the older Duncan, Hannah, Alex, Murdoch and Bella. This age is consistent with the memorial year, but the schedule does not state family relationships. In 1891, a Duncan aged 45 is explicitly recorded as Murdock McKenzie’s brother in family 20. That age conflicts with the 1851 memorial year; the 1891 man has not been securely identified with this Duncan. The conflicting census age is not used to replace his memorial birth year.

Incomplete names and identity candidates
Name and accepted-alias matches appear before initials-only possibilities. Within each group, records with no known date conflict and an accepted connection to the selected relative appear first. This is an evidence ordering, not a probability. Compare generation, known relatives, census units, memorials and dated sources in each record. No suggestion changes a family relationship.
