Personal Notes:
In the old bushranging days Murdock kept the Mundarlo Inn at Mundarlo and in Feb 1862 he and Mr Beveridge captured the bushranger Piesley and handed him to the police. Paisley was well armed and the capture was that which deserves much credit. About 1875 Murdock came to the Wagga district and settled on his farm at Strathmore, near Malebo Hill.

We have been researching Murdoch McKenzie for many years and have come against a brick wall regarding Christina Cameron and Margaret Adamson. Jessie Cameron died on 21st December 1862 (of fever 3 days) after giving birth to Murdoch Duncan who only lived for four days according the Jessie’s death certificate.

From the marriage certificate of Murdoch and Christina, Christina was a widow and aged 24 years. The parish records state that her parents were Hugh & Mary Cameron. Christina was a cousin of Donald Cameron, Dame Mary Gilmore’s father. That is the last we can find any information on Christina. In an obituary of Murdoch McKenzie’s death in the Wagga Wagga Advertiser dated 10th October 1895 there is no mention of any wives. It just states that he leaves a grown up family. On his death certificate it only shows his first and second marriage.
