Thankyou Brenda For everyones info I still gave thecwrong birth dates 1855 to 1857 is correct. I have the census info for 1841 to 1871 now, it all fits with the said William McLeggan Mckenzie, its just that I'm uncertain about him. I may of course be wrong.

I am looking for the birth of William McKenzie(my great grandfathrr)1855 to 1897, father David a laborer. The only one I can find (igi & ancestry) is a William Macleggan McKenzie born 1857 to David & Margt St Nicholas Aberdeen. I'm not convinced. Our family frequently used surnames as second names, he never used it, EVER, not even on his army enlistment papers, or marriage, or death for that matter. On his enlistment papers he states he was born St Nicholas. Family folklore says that an Ann may have been his mother but while there is a David & . Ann, no William. I thought Margaret might have been Macleggan but can't find her either. If anyone can help I would be very grateful. His enlistment papers say he was a farm servant.
