Note:

1) Email form Margo Crozier

John McDonald, Ann McKenzie's 1st son,married my young widowed Great-Grandmother, Annie McKechnie (b.17.8.1865, Neilston, Renfrewshire d.16.4.1921 at 133 West Carron) on 28.12.1891 in Carron. My Grandmother, Elizabeth Silcock, was the eldest of 3 and after Annie married John "the boy" McDonald, they went on to have a further six of a family.

John McDonald was apparently a "leading light" within the Dawson Mission, as it was, at that time at West Carron, and much respected in the Community. I have heard some marvellous stories about him.

2) Email from Neil Mitchell

Discovered your website recently. I`m a direct descendant of John McKenzie & Catherine Bains` daughter Isabella born 1830, who married James Watson. I believe Isabella may have died before 1861 census, possibly even in 1854, the year they had a daughter Catherine Bain Watson. Catherine went on to marry a William Russell (one of the heroes of the 1890 Carron Dam drownings) in 1873 and died in 1907. William & Catherine are my grtgrt grandparents and I am in contact with descendants of 3 of their 10 children.
