Research Notes: I have had a hard time trying to identify William S. McKENZIE.. The only 'concrete' evidence is his name on a Headstone in the Toronto Necropolis Cemetery and it only has a death date, 1868.
It appears he was William SOUTAR in Scotland and used his mother's maied name McKENZIE when in Canada.
If I am correct this is the sequence of events I have compiled;
William SOUTAR married Elizabeth PATERSON February 1843 in South Leith, Midlothian.
