Auckland 1840's DM
https://blenheim175.wordpress.com/2015/03/26/blenheim-passenger-list/
In the initial Blenheim passenger list Donald McDonald noted that this family came from Achatany and ?This family have been known to me all my life and have mostly been in my own and my Brothers service?. The family was:

Hugh MacKenzie, 50, labourer
Catherine McDonald, 46, his wife
Jane, 24, housemaid, his daughter
Peggy, 21, housemaid, his daughter
Mary, 17, housemaid, his daughter
Flora, 15, his daughter
Janet, 12, his daughter

Also on the initial list, but crossed out, was Donald MacKenzie, 27, engineer, noted as ?his natural son?.
The Old Parish Register for Ardnamurchan records the births and baptisms of several children who did not travel to New Zealand, and most likely died in infancy. These include the baptisms of two daughters named Catherine, who likely died in infancy ? Hugh McKenzie, crofter, Achtenny, and Catherine McDonald, had a daughter, Catherine, born 10th April 1833, baptized 19th May 1833, witnesses John Stuart, Braynault and Allan McKenzie, Beadle; and in 1835 Ewen McKenzie crofter Achtenny and Catherine McDonald his wife, had a daughter Catherine, born 12th May 1835 baptized 15th May 1855, witnesses Niel McPhail, Kilmory, and John Stuart, Braynault. There may also have been another daughter, Anna in 1831.
Spelling: The Blenheim passenger list used ?MacKenzie? but most other sources have ?McKenzie?.
