[Bootzy]

Could Geoff check address for 1913 for Colin & Louisa..

For address in 1913 – try Hunter Street, Horseshoe Bend West Maitland, where son Donald Campbell McKenzie was born in 1909 and address when father/hubby Colin died in 1939..

regards
Val

 

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Val.

Yes, I did mention that it's a mix of Mc and Mac.

I should have said that these are two separate families.

I was not aware of the earlier marriage.

a Tree has Donald in Suva Fiji in 1911, (probably visiting his brother Angus) - cant get into Trove at the moment to check.. but looks like he went out there after wife's death.

His daughter Sylvia Alice b 1894 Dubbo married Henry Bensley 1911 Goulburn and she died March 28 1917 Goulburn.

 

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Val.

Looks like he married in Fiji.

further on in Donald's Orbit has this at end..

He was twice married, his first wife being a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Hugh White, of Taralga.
His second wife was Mrs. A. McKay, of Fiji, by whom he is survived, and four
children. The burial took place in Sydney on Monday.

 

[DaveHam9]

A marriage in Manly in NSW index does not seem to fit for his second.

Thanks Val.

With Windows 10 and my new monitor I can't read the images in the SMH Archive 1955 - 1995 no matter what screen resolution I try.

I've added that to my list of films to look up at the library. At one stage the library removed all the films for that period but I think they are back in the drawers.

Goulburn Evening Penny Post Sat 16 March 1895 - death of 1st wife
TARALGA.
(From Our Correspondent.)
SAD DEATH.--I regret to have to record the death of Mrs. D. Mackenzie, of Narramine, to eldest daughter of Mr. Hugh White of this town. The deceased was only 21 years of age at the time of her death, and had been only about two years married. She leaves a child a few months old. Mrs. Mackenzie had been in failing health for some time, and came to Taralga, to see if the change would benefit her, but although she received every care and attention, her medical attendant, Dr. Brown, from the first held out no hopes of her recovery, the cause of death being consumption. Much sympathy is expressed for the husband of the deceased and her friends in their trouble, and on Saturday the funeral was very largely attended, the remains being interred in the Presbyterian Cemetery at Stone Quarry, the Rev. Mr. Inglis reading the burial service of the Church.

Death of a brother of Donald’s – Goulburn Evening Penny – Thu 9 July 1931

TARALGA.
(From our Correspondeqt.) Death.-Mrs: H. Bensley of Richlands, who had been in failing health for some time, died rather suddenly last Wednesday at the early ago of 22 years, leaving three little children. Mrs. Bensley had been under treatment in Goulburn and Sydney for a long time, and lately showed, signs of an improvement in health, being up and knocking about the day before she died. The deceased. was a daughter of Mr. Donald McKlenzie, formerly of Burra Lake, but now of Fiji, and a granddaughter Mr. Hugh White, of Taralga, and Mr. and Mrs. John McKenzie of Burra Lake. The funeral took place on Thursday, the remains being interred in the Presbyterian cemetery at Stone-quarry. The Rev. W. Finley Brown conducted the service There was a large attendance, and sympathy will be felt on all sides for the bereaved family and relatives in their sad loss.

Looks like Donald was in Fiji for a fair while before coming back in 1931.
