Biography: According to family history supplied to Applecross Heritage Centre in 2011 by William Manson, Edinburgh: “… Murdo (and two of his brothers) travelled to Canada and the USA where it is believed they worked on a sheep farm in Washington State. They also visited Montana, British Columbia and Nova Scotia. It is thought that they remained there until after the First World War … Murdo MacKenzie returned to Scotland, married Jessie Beaton (1884-1956) and ran a grocer’s shop at 47 Seabanks, Cromarty.” Discrepancy in ages: Highland Council Register of Interments lists him as 55 when he died. Information on the Ellis Island website, he was in the United States twice, and was slightly crippled.
