About Ceit “Catherine” MacKenzie (MacSween)

From page #55 in "History of Christmas Island Parish":

John McKenzie (Iain MacEachainn) ...A few years before leaving Barra, he married Mary, daughter of Hugh Gillis (Ban), of Barra Strait.

The issue of this marriage was: Murdock, John, James, Hector, Hector, Neil, Archibald (Rev. Fr. Archie), Mary, Ann, and Mary (Og).

Murdock was born in Barra, in the house of his grandfather, "Eoghan Ban a' Chaolais," in 1820. His friends and acquaintances always called him “Murchadh Ban” when speaking of him. He was a very industrious man who seldom allowed a chance to earn a dollar, on land or sea, slip by without taking advantage of it. He always kept a good, large sailboat with which he used to do considerable traffic.

He married Catherine, daughter of Hector McSween, of Beaver Cove. Issue: — Ann, Bessie, James, Mary, Roderick, Mary, Archie, Ronald, and Lucy.
