Hannah MacKenzie

Island story

Hannah MacKenzie is commemorated at R6-011 and explicitly identified as the wife of Duncan MacKenzie. The same monument also names Alexander, Jessie and a younger Duncan MacKenzie. The younger Duncan’s 1926 death registration names Duncan and Hannah as his parents, establishing that relationship; Alexander and Jessie’s relationships remain unresolved. The original 1881 census places Hannah, aged 65, in family 8 with Duncan McKenzie, aged 70, and four younger McKenzies. Her surname is entered with a ditto continuing McKenzie; an earlier transcription reading McDonald is not supported by this row. This entry does not establish her maiden surname. The schedule has no relationship-to-head column, so co-residence alone does not establish parentage.
