- Notes: 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.

Looking for Christina McKenzie née Cameron who married Murdoch McKenzie following the death of Jessie McKenzie née Cameron. Jessie died in 1863 and Murdoch married Christina in 1864 at Wagga Wagga. Did she die or did she runaway or remarry a Mr Telford and died in 1909? We cannot find a death certificate of Christina McKenzie around the late 1870s as Murdoch McKenzie remarried a Mrs Adamson who was brought from Scotland with a daughter, via an advertisement for a wife. She returned to Scotland shortly after the marriage.
